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 15.36.

A deck focused on tempo and disruption would benefit from including Blood Clock in its strategy, as it can help slow down opponents by forcing them to return permanents to their hand or pay life. However, there are more efficient cards like Venser, Shaper Savant or Remand that offer similar effects with greater flexibility and impact, making them better choices for competitive play. Blood Clock may be fun in casual decks or themed builds, but it's unlikely to see play in more competitive settings.

Rules

06/01/05

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.
