This swept the tournament scene... Basilisk and Lure was the best combo out there. now it's a common ability, and the legacy of the Basilisk lives on.

This ability now represents the Deathtouch ability...the way it should be...BFF with Lure.

This creature's ability is still better than deathtouch, seeing as how he kills every attacker/blocker. He could have a power of 0 and still destroy them.

This also gets around the combat damage change, reverting it back to the days of ol.

Is there even a wall out there with 2 toughness? Easily neutralised.

Classic.

The art is my favorite part of this card.

Sadly, the card itself hasn't aged particularly well.

@Shieldman
Channel//fireball seems like a better combo, or even Black Lotus + Timetwister.
