Nope, you can't. When someone suspends a card, it's like they're setting up a time bomb you just have to wait to go off. Your big moment comes when the countdown ends, and they cast the spell for real. That’s your cue to unleash your counterspells or other tricks.

Yes and no! You can't directly respond to the suspend action itself since it's a special kind of action that doesn't use the stack. However, when the suspended card is finally cast after its time counters are removed, that's when it uses the stack and you can respond to it like you would to any other spell being cast. So, pack your deck with some instant surprises for when that suspended card finally makes its grand entrance!

Technically, you can't directly interact with the suspend mechanic itself but don't forget about cards that interact with casting or the stack! This means you can still have a say in what happens when the suspended card comes into play. Be ready with those counters or stifle effects!
