    A suspended card is in a game zone called 'removed from the game'. In this zone you will also find any card removed from the game (for example with withered wretch or crib swap). A suspended card will be removed from the game with time counters, once you remove the last time counter, you will be able to play the suspended card. Once the card is being played and the spell is on the stack, then you can use twincast to copy it. You can twincast it when you play it for the first time, or every time when arc blade is played from the removed from the game area. Suspended spells can be countered as long as they are on the stack (just as normal spells). Remember, spells like arc blade (get suspended again) have the suspend clause as part of the resolution. So if your opponent counters your arc blade, it will not get suspended again and it will go to the graveyard. Every time you remove the last time counter from arc blade and place it on the stack counts as playing the spell.
