Hourglass of the Lost
Hourglass of the Lost is a measured artifact that rewards patient play and calculated timing. Its first ability taps to add white mana and places a time counter on the relic, giving you a predictable clock to work with. The design supports a methodical game plan, letting you build toward a bigger payoff rather than rushing the finish line.
The second ability uses the stored time as a lever, removing X time counters and exiling the artifact to return each nonland permanent card with mana value X from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate only as a sorcery, which keeps the decision point tight and your chalkboard clear for the next move. In the right shell, this relic can translate stored tempo into a decisive board presence, a quality well suited to commander games that value resource conversion and timely replays.
