Removal
Suspend
Exile target creature and put two time counters on it. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. (At the beginning of its owner's upkeep, they remove a time counter. When the last is removed, they may play it without paying its mana cost. If it's a creature, it has haste.)
Instant
Unwanted Remake
Destroy target creature. Its controller manifests dread. (That player looks at the top two cards of their library, then puts one onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature and the other into their graveyard. If it's a creature card, it can be turned face up any time for its mana cost.)

Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a lower-bracket control deck that aims to service Trostani as a toolbox. A suite of modal spells such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Piracy Charm"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"A-You Come to a River"}},{"insert":" seek to maximize your options when casting spells off of the commander. Counterspells presented a bit of a puzzle since they are necessary to protect the commander, but they are essentially useless to cast off the commander's attack triggers. This is why I favored counterspells with the flexibility to target your own stuff such "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Arcane Denial"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"An Offer You Can't Refuse"}},{"insert":". Finally, there is also a minor lantern control subtheme. Removal such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Memory Lapse"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Expel from Orazca"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Unexpectedly Absent"}},{"insert":" are great removal spells to begin with, but they become even more powerful when paired with with mill effects like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Codex Shredder"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghoulcaller's Bell"}},{"insert":". These incidental sources of mill also do double duty to fill your own graveyard with instants to exile with kick counters.\n\nThe topdeck manipulation involved in the lantern control subtheme also lends itself to classic cantrips and card selection spells such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Brainstorm"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Preordain"}},{"insert":". Spot removal in the deck prioritizes mana efficiency since this deck struggles a bit with ramp, but cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Suspend"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Unwanted Remake"}},{"insert":" are bound to produce a mana advantage when repeatedly copied with kick counters. Of course, our commander needs a clear attack to recast any instants off of attack triggers, so the deck also includes a healthy dose of evasive spells and protection such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Leap"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gods Willing"}},{"insert":". \n\nThe deck still struggles to win, and commander damage is still a grinding 7 turn clock, s"},{"attributes":{"background":"var(--light-background)","color":"var(--color)"},"insert":"o I welcome any feedback on good win conditions. I would like to avoid infinite combos and/or chaining extra turns if possible since this just isn't really my cup of tea. "},{"insert":"\n"}]}
