Turn Time Into Victory
The Millennium Calendar from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a compact engine that turns routine untap steps into a win condition. The Millennium Calendar rewards conservative play and repetition by collecting time counters whenever you untap permanents during your untap step. A single mana to cast and the ability to double its counters for a modest cost make it an efficient clock that scales with the length of the game and the number of permanents you manage to keep online.
Use The Millennium Calendar in decks that can reliably untap creatures or artifacts and that can protect the artifact while it accumulates counters. It pairs cleanly with value engines that untap multiple permanents each turn and with recursion or protection effects to keep opponents from disrupting your clock. The flavor fits Lost Caverns of Ixalan by framing temporal manipulation as an artifact one recovers from ancient depths and puts into play to alter the pace of a match.
