unfortunately it's only going to work once on an opponent, but the first time will be hilariously awesome.

It only needs to work once if you play it with Staying Power! Then your friends won't want to play with you anymore and all you'll have to play with are statues anyway!

Important rulings for this card! Since the second ability contains both a static ability and a triggered ability and they're in the same paragraph, they qualify as "linked" under rule 607.2f. This means that they're subject to 607.1, and the second ability only affects players who are stoned as a result of the first ability. Therefore, if you became stoned as a result of, shall we say, some, uh, other ability, Stone-Cold Basilisk won't prevent you from attacking, blocking, casting spells, or activating abilities unless you read the card.

It still feels wonderful the first time it worked, at the Unhinged Prerelease.

What is the card that the person in the crowd is looking at in the art? I can't quite tell...

@Max_Glycine I think it's Arrest based off the flavor of this card and how well the graphic is showing.

How to make it work more than once:
"It has more letters than that creature, that creature dies." "No it doesn't!" "Prove it."
I'm confused, when do players attack or block anyways? Don't creatures usually do that?

It would seem nearly all of the players are stoned according to the art.
Nothing wrong with that.

Ok, odd ruling question here. Does it need to be on the battlefield to work? Or can you for instance, wave it in your opponent's face until they read it and then tell them they're stoned. Or in a more possible situation, if an opponent uses an ability to look at your hand and they end up seeing it there, would it trigger? Or if it's in your graveyard and they use a reanimation spell and read it while looking for targets, can a dead basilisk still get you stoned? I'm thinking it can, I mean it is an Un card after all.

The concept of turning players into statues via a basilisk's effect is really cool

"Here, read it."
I like the way that it is hard to read!
