    Hellcarver Demon + Lotus Bloom

    If I exile a Lotus Bloom with a Hellcarver Demon can I play it and use it immediately and crack it for mana without having to play it as a 'suspend' card?

    If an effect lets you cast a card "without paying its mana cost", you can cast manacostless suspend cards such as Lotus Bloom or Ancestral Vision. You can't suspend those cards even if you wanted to, because the card needs to be in your hand to be suspended.

    It's really good with Restore Balance. You play it so your opponent has to sacrifice all permanents except one creature and discard their hand, and then you can play out the rest of your exiled cards.

    Can I crack it for mana? Does this actually work?

    Er, why wouldn't you be able to activate it?

    Luma answered whether you can play it (you can), and whether you can suspend it (you can't).
    “It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.
