Notes and Rules Information for Paralysie:
  • Only the English version of a Magic card receives Oracle updates and errata. View this card in English. (Scryfall note)
  • Paralyze can be cast targeting a creature which is already tapped. (2004-10-04)
  • The creature can only be untapped using Paralyze once per turn. (2004-10-04)
  • Two Paralyzes are not cumulative. Paying either one will untap the creature. (2004-10-04)
  • Paying the cost is optional. (2004-10-04)
  • This is a change from the most recent wording. As was the case in the past, Paralyze itself has the last triggered ability, rather than granting that ability to the enchanted creature. (2007-09-16)
