Greater Basilisk
Oracle Text
Deathtouch (Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Greater Basilisk is a straightforward but highly persuasive Magic body: a 3/5 for five mana with deathtouch that turns combat into a losing proposition for almost anything that dares block it. In gameplay terms, it best supports a midrange or control game plan, where you want to stabilize the board, discourage attacks, and force awkward trades while you build toward a stronger endgame. Its large toughness means it can also survive many removal-light combat steps, making it a solid roadblock against aggressive decks. For deckbuilding, pair it with effects that grant trample or evasion, since deathtouch plus trample often converts even a single point of damage into a devastating attack, and equipment or pump spells can make that threat even more severe. The basilisk flavor fits its mechanics perfectly: an unassuming predator whose mere touch makes every confrontation dangerous.
