Cute little bugger. Useful too, especially in groups.

Making Deep-Sea Kraken and Greater Gargadon fun to play on a regular basis.

In a draft, I didn't notice the "you own" part. Luckily my opponent never did either.

Use with Dichotomancy. Your opponent will avoid tapping stuff for as long as Dichotomancy's suspend may end, which may as well be forever with Jhoira's Timebug!

SOOO CUTE!

Though it Kind of suffers compared to Clockspinning since it only does time counters.

Imagine using Jhoira to suspend an expensive counterspell- Counterbore, for example- then speeding it up for one turn and then constantly keeping it suspended right before your turn starts. People won't play anything as long as you can tap this guy! Meanwhile, you have all your mana open for a Cancel in case they try luring your Counterbore out of you.
The head-games you can play are enough to make me love suspend.

@ideatog Actually, not as much as one would think. This card can do it repeatedly.

Nearly every single card in Time Spiral was a throwback to at least one previously printed card.

This card references Jhoira's Toolbox; Jhoira of the Ghitu was a student at the Tolarian Academy who worked on many of Urza's time experiments.

macbizzle: awesome! i didnt think of it myself, but two of these (one to put counter each turn and one to remove and cast) to get a counter spell and make sure youre opponent doesnt play stuff is awesome!
