About Blood Clock
Blood Clock, Artifact, designed by Keith Garletts first released in Jun, 2005 in the set Saviors of Kamigawa and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 2.52.
Blood Clock is particularly effective in control or tempo decks that aim to disrupt opponents' strategies while maintaining board presence. It can be especially beneficial in decks that utilize life gain or can afford to pay the life cost without significant detriment. However, there are arguably better options for similar effects, such as Propaganda or Ghostly Prison, which can hinder opponents' ability to attack or cast spells without directly costing them life. While Blood Clock can see play in niche builds or casual formats, it may not be optimal in competitive environments where more efficient or impactful cards are available.
Rules

A player who controls no permanents doesn’t need to pay 2 life (although that player can choose to do so).
06/01/05
The choice of which permanent to return or whether to pay life is made as the triggered ability resolves.
