Clockwork creatures are usually imitations of organic lifeforms and need to be repeatedly wound up. Mechanically this is represented as the card entering the battlefield with a set amount of counters on them which they progressively lose when participating in combat.
Clockwork avians
Clockwork avians were airborne machines of war created during the Brothers' War. Urza created flocks of small clockwork birds to combat Mishra's dragon engines. They were able to tear the engines' skin and destroy them from the inside by igniting the internal fuel tanks used for the napalm-like fire breath.
One of the mechanical birds that survived was used centuries later by Ravidel to defend Castle Melmereth, and both killed and was destroyed by a Cockatrice.
Clockwork gnomes
Clockwork gnomes were minute creations built by students beginning their education at Feroz's Wizards' School on Ulgrotha, used as servants on the Floating Isle. Steel, one of the Burning Isles was also inhabited by mechanical Gnomes.
Clockwork swarms
Clockwork swarms are collections composed of minute clockwork creations, built by the students of the Wizards' School, thanks to the teachings of the First Master, Feroz in disguise. Originally built to drive vermin out of buildings, they frequently went awry: many of them were destroyed because they were too dangerous.[1]
