Original card, with alternate flavor text from Feast of the Unicorn.

I was tossing around a straight creature destruction spell for {4} {b} {b} . Eventually, I thought of Basalt Golem and thought that would be cool. The wall sub-theme in these early sets is a nice bonus.

Originally, the card said destroy, but then it occurred to me that if this targeted a regenerating creature... well that's dumb. So I tried adding 'As long as that creature goes to the graveyard' but that didn't seem right either. So I just did what the flavor told me I was doing anyway. Stealing your creature and turning it into a statue. Figure it reads more evil that way, too.

by continuumg:

"Target creature's controller sacrifices it" would be the more standard way to accomplish this

by jmgariepy:

It would be. But there would be a flavor disconnect.
