Deck tag: Time Counters

What are time counters in Magic?

• Jhoira of the Ghitu
• Rift Elemental
• The Tenth Doctor

Time counters track several time-related mechanics, most famously suspend and vanishing. Cards with suspend count down toward being cast, while vanishing permanents usually count down toward being sacrificed.

Time Travel from Doctor Who can add or remove time counters from qualifying cards, while Clockspinning provides an older way to manipulate counters directly. Dedicated decks can therefore speed up their own suspended spells or delay useful permanents from disappearing.
