Hourglass of the Lost is a tempo oriented artifact designed for the long game. You can tap to add white mana and place a time counter, pacing your plan as the board evolves. It's a natural fit for decks that stabilize early and set up a strong late game payoff from the graveyard.
When you reach the payoff moment you tap to remove X time counters and exile the hourglass to return each nonland permanent card with mana value X from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate only as a sorcery, so timing matters and you need the right window to maximize impact. The relic hints at a hard earned mastery of time, a motif echoed in legends where careful clocks decide who keeps the lead.
