Ancient Stone Idol, Artifact creature — golem, designed by Josh Hass first released in Nov, 2016 in the set Treasure Chest and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
A deck that focuses on aggressive strategies with multiple attacking creatures would benefit most from Ancient Stone Idol, as it becomes cheaper to cast with more attackers on the board. While it offers a strong threat with trample and a token upon death, its high mana cost may make it difficult to include in competitive decks. Other cards like Bane of Bala Ged or Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger may provide better value for their mana cost in similar strategies.

Ancient Stone Idol’s cost is reduced for each attacking creature, not just creatures attacking you. It even counts your attacking creatures.

The total cost to cast a spell is locked in before you pay that cost. For example, if you control five attacking creatures, including one you can sacrifice to add to your mana pool, Ancient Stone Idol costs to cast. Then you can sacrifice the creature when you activate mana abilities just before paying the cost, and it still costs only to cast.
