True, this is the first suspend card out there, but i really think that Living Death is more of a finisher than this card, but in art, this card owns!!!! :D lolz

One of the most errata'd cards ever printed, it remains one of the few cards outside of Portal to have switched types, actually being an enchantment for many years before the suspend technology actually made this card work relatively closely to its original functionality. As with Hell's Caretaker the creatures need haste...

Such a pitty...errata'd with scream counters, but never re-errata'd with suspend counter. Would have made this a more up-to-date and even better card.

I'm surprised this card has never been reprinted; it has a very "modern" sensibility to it (its ability is very powerful, but the proto-suspend mechanic makes it balanced, since your opponent gets to see it coming and prepare for it, too.)
Oh, wait, it's on the reserve list, isn't it? Stupid reserve list ruining everything.
They should've errataed it to suspend so it would work with Clockspinning and the like. The precedent is pretty clear -- cards like Serra Angel got their ability errated to a keyword once the keyword existed, so they'll interact with (eg) something that gives all creatures with that ability +1/+1 or whatever.
Similarly, what this card was originally doing when printed was Suspend, even if they didn't have a keyword for it yet; so it ought to interact with cards that mention Suspend.
