Critical Rulings

"The creature can only be untapped using Paralyze once per turn."

— 2004-10-04

"Paying the cost is optional."

— 2004-10-04

"Two Paralyzes are not cumulative. Paying either one will untap the creature."

— 2004-10-04

"Paralyze can be cast targeting a creature which is already tapped."

— 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."
