Sibylline Soothsayer

Creature — Human Warlock2 generic manaRed mana

Suspend is normally a bargain a pilot signs up for in deckbuilding: a spell prints with a discounted alternative cost and a delay, and you accept the wait to get the rate. This 3/2 does something stranger. It reaches into your library, finds the first nonland with mana value three or greater, and casts it for free on a three-turn timer, whether or not that spell was ever meant to be suspended. The distinction the ability erases is the one between paying for a cheap early cast and paying nothing at all: because the card is exiled straight from the deck with time counters, its printed mana cost never enters the equation. It resolves off the timer without a payment step, which is the entire engine. That reframes deck construction around a single question: what is the biggest thing this can find? A spread of one- and two-drops is simply invisible to the trigger, so the reward lives in a top-heavy build stocked with expensive payoffs that would be a chore to hard-cast. Cards that already carry their own suspend cost still benefit fully here, since the free cast, not the keyword, is the prize. The remaining revealed cards go to the bottom, which is neutral to the quality of what you draw later. The lasting design idea is suspend as a found object: a modest red body that schedules the deck's heaviest spell to arrive, at no cost, three turns out.

Temporal Foresight — When this creature enters, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonland card with mana value 3 or greater. Exile that card with three time counters on it. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. Put the rest of the revealed cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.
