- You have a storm count of 1 if the self-suspending card is not in your hand, or a storm count of 0 otherwise.
- Self-Suspending Instant or Sorcery
Steps
- 1Cast the self-suspending card by paying its mana cost if its in your hand, or any other spell otherwise if you have not cast a spell this turn.
- 2Cast Time Stretch by paying its mana cost.
- 3Taigam triggers, copying Time Stretch and then exiling it with four time counters on it and giving it suspend.
- 4Resolve the copy of Time Stretch, causing you to take two extra turns after this one.
- 5Move to your first extra turn. At the beginning of that turn's upkeep, Time Stretch and the self-suspending card's suspend abilities trigger, removing a time counter from each of them.
