Thumbscrews, Artifact, designed by Charles Gillespie first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 78.52.
Thumbscrews could be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on card advantage and disrupting the opponent's hand size, as it provides a consistent source of damage if the opponent has a full hand. However, there are likely better options for dealing damage or controlling the opponent's resources in Magic: the Gathering, such as more versatile removal spells or creatures with repeatable abilities. Thumbscrews may not see much play in competitive decks, but could still be a fun and thematic inclusion in casual or themed decks.

It checks the number of cards in your hand at the beginning of upkeep, and if you have 4 or fewer cards in hand it will not trigger. It checks again when it resolves and will not deal damage unless you still have 5 or more cards in hand.
