Armageddon Clock
Oracle Text
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a doom counter on this artifact.
At the beginning of your draw step, this artifact deals damage equal to the number of doom counters on it to each player.
{4}: Remove a doom counter from this artifact. Any player may activate this ability but only during any upkeep step.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Armageddon Clock is a classic slow-burn artifact that best fits a control or attrition plan, where you can survive longer than everyone else and turn the game into a race the opponent can’t win. Its doom counters make it feel like a ticking apocalypse: each upkeep the pressure rises, and each draw step punishes the whole table harder. Because any player can remove counters during upkeep, the card creates a tense political mini-game, so you want to pair it with effects that tax mana, limit untaps, or otherwise make paying {4} awkward. Artifact recursion and protection are also valuable, since keeping the Clock on the field is everything. In deckbuilding, it works especially well alongside life gain, damage prevention, or cards that break parity so you can absorb the symmetrical damage while opponents cannot. If you can accelerate it out early and then lock the board, the Clock becomes a steady inevitability engine rather than a liability.
