@gasimakos1- Horrible combo. But it's Shandalar legal, so you sir are a genius :P

Play this card, then when it's time for the bomb to go off, Safe Passage, and that's alright.

It's like an old-school Ratchet Bomb. Sort of.

@zenitramleirdag: just a guess, but: in the lower center, you see the clock, with some additional cogwheels, that do the timer. It seems to be inside a glass vat of some sort. On the very bottom left and bottom right, you see the explosives, which are connected to the glass vat with the timer. What the skeleton is doing in there I'm not sure. Maybe it was the engineer of the bomb, who was imprisoned in it, once he completed it for some lord of some sort? It seems he tried to escape using this red sphere to smash the upper right corner of the vat, but didn't make it out himself. Maybe the hole was too small, or he was too weak already, or stuck in the cogwheels. I guess the sphere was a not very relevant part of the bomb?
In the background there is just a meadow with mountain ranges, and if you look very closely, you can see a city at the foot of the mountain range. With a gate, walls and houses. I guess everyone in the city is asleep, what with the windows beeing dark. And a starlight sky above.
Quite surreal all in all. I like it. The background adds a feeling of serenity, with the starlit sky, the meadow and the city all asleep. The bomb in the foreground adds a feeling of suspense, with the explosives and the timer. And the skeleton adds some slight horror.
While beeing slow, the card has it's advantages. Unlike most other bomb type cards, you don't have to tap it to add a counter, so you can always pop it in response to removal. Having just one mana as an activation cost helps. And since it can also finish off players, it might seem irrelevant at first, but becomes a hard to deal with threat in longer games. And with cards such as doubling season, time warp or paradox haze, the number of counters can become relevant quicky.

I think it was just policy at the time that Amy Weber would be asked to do the artwork for any cards with "Time" in their title. See Time Walk, Time Elemental.
