Wizards of the Coast 10 Jun 2022

Alaundo's ability is not the same as the suspend ability. However, if you exile a card with suspend this way, the suspend ability will also cause you to remove time counters from it.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Jun 2022

Alaundo's ability will remove time counters from all cards you own in exile, even ones that were put there another way, such as with the suspend ability.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Jun 2022

If you exile a card with a mana value of 0, such as a land card, no time counters will be placed on it. Unless you find a way to put time counters on it in exile, the triggered ability it gains from Alaundo will never trigger.
