Midnight Clock

Description

Midnight Clock serves as a distinctive artifact in Magic: The Gathering, originally released as a promotional card during the 2019 Throne of Eldraine era. As card number 54s in the PELD set code, this foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal that complements its strategic utility. Designed by artist Alexander Forssberg, the card embodies the intricate mechanics that define The curated Magic: The Gathering trading card game inventory. The card functions as a mana source and a powerful late-game engine. Players can tap the artifact to produce blue mana, or pay two generic mana and one blue mana to place an hour counter on it. The card continuously accumulates these counters at the start of each upkeep. Once the twelfth hour counter is placed, Midnight Clock triggers a transformative effect: the controller shuffles their hand and graveyard back into their library and draws seven new cards, after which the artifact is exiled. This unique cycle makes it a valuable addition for collectors who appreciate both aesthetic rarity and mechanical depth. Collectors often seek this promo for its foil finish and its role in the Throne of Eldraine promotional distribution. The card’s ability to reset resources makes it a memorable piece of TCG history, appealing to those who value strategic innovation alongside collectible value. Whether building a themed collection or hunting for specific promotional artifacts, Midnight Clock stands out as a well-designed piece of Magic: The Gathering lore and gameplay.
