What it does
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand during an opponent's turn, exile that card with three time counters on it instead of putting it into your graveyard as it resolves. Then if the exiled card doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. (At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may play it without paying its mana cost.)

Where it came from
Gandalf of the Secret Fire was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. This set marked a significant milestone for Wizards of the Coast, representing the first time the company integrated J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary literary universe into their collectible card game format. The card was designed specifically for the Commander multiplayer format, featuring mechanics that allow players to cast spells from their graveyard, reflecting Gandalf's resilience and deep connection to the ancient magic of his world.
The card’s artwork was crafted by illustrator Dominik Mayer, whose signature high-contrast, angular style brings a distinct, modern interpretation to the wizard. Mayer sought to capture the character's transition from his grey-robed form to the powerful manifestation of the Secret Fire during his confrontation with the Balrog. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the player base for its strategic versatility and its ability to represent the thematic core of the character through interactive gameplay mechanics.
