Do suspended cards being cast also gain Convoke (e.g with Caetus, Sea Tyrant of Segovia Flip) and trigger related abilities?
Asked by Grenthox 2 weeks ago
Say I'm suspending instants with Gandalf of the Secret Fire and I have a Caetus, Sea Tyrant of Segovia Flip and a Kasla, the Broken Halo in play. Does the suspended card gain Convoke from Caetus and trigger Kasla when cast?

Yes, that works. In the detailed rules for suspend, "play" means "play it if it's a land and cast it if it's a spell". Since you're casting the spell, Caetus gives it convoke and Kasla will trigger from that. Just in case this is also a question: you don't actually need to tap any creatures for convoke to get a trigger from Kasla. The fact that a spell has the convoke ability is enough.
