Standin of the Storm
Ancient Stone Idol is a late game beater that arrives with flash and raw board presence. Its printed name is Ancient Stone Idol and it costs {10} to cast before reductions. The Idol gains tempo with its cost reduction for each attacking creature making it a reasonable surprise top end when your table is pushing damage. Flash lets you respond to combat and assemble a lethal swing or a defensive block without surrendering initiative.
The card reads like a predictable threat in Commander. It has trample and a 12/12 body so it closes races and forces awkward blocks. When Ancient Stone Idol dies you get a 6/12 colorless Construct artifact creature token with trample which preserves pressure after removal. Use the Idol to convert attacking momentum into a persistent clock and to punish opponents who rely on single removal spells to clear the board.
