Rusko, Clockmaker

Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, put an hour counter on each permanent you control named Midnight Clock. Each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Rusko, Clockmaker is a deceptively strong value engine for a blue-black control or tempo shell, turning every noncreature spell into incremental drain while accelerating a free Midnight Clock onto the battlefield. As a 3/3 for four mana, Rusko can block early pressure, but his real strength is in snowballing advantage: cantrips, counters, removal, and bounce all advance the clock plan while padding your life total and bleeding each opponent. Because the Midnight Clock trigger cares about “each permanent you control named Midnight Clock,” copying or creating additional copies multiplies the pressure, so token-copy effects or card-conjuring synergies can become meaningful win conditions. Deckbuilding-wise, lean hard into cheap interaction and spell-dense construction; the more noncreature spells you chain, the faster the life drain adds up. Rusko rewards patience and careful sequencing, making him ideal for players who want their control deck to close games without ever tapping out for a big finisher.
