I love this card. I always run 4 of them in my black decks. It's just a good way to slow down their game play.

I don't get why this card doesn't get more love. I can't think of a better way to deal with a creature with one black mana, which is saying quite a bit in the color of creature control. Sure, they can pay to nullify the effect later on, but that's four less mana they're not using to kill you!

Should be played more.
Compare how both this card and Swords to Plowshares deal with Tarmogoyf. Swords has a drawback of life, this has a drawback of being vulnerable to bounce and enchantment destruction. Its not often someone pays 4 to untap a creature; hell, you can sinkhole their lands so that they can't...

Man, this is such a great card. I run 4 in a black/red creature control I have. It's great against anything before turn 4, and gives me just enough time to hit them for all I've got in the early game. And it lets me save my Terminates for creatures that have static abilities (Like Godhead of Awe) or really strong monsters (like Divinity of Pride).

This is pretty good, they will be forced to either use permanent removal on the enchant or get a huge dent on their mana pool.

if you are afraid of the untapping ability for 4 mana try use royal as.sas.sin to deal with the creature at the time they get four mana. 5/5

A surprisingly versatile card for black. First, it's a great offensive card for disabling bulky attackers or creatures with annoying tap abilities. Then as a bonus, you can use it on your own creatures in a pinch if they have something that prevents them from untapping, say a built-in restriction like Colossus of Sardia or Phyrexian Colossus. Also worth noting is that the card's untap cost is not added as a creature ability, meaning that something like Training Grounds or Heartstone won't alter the cost.
Paralyze is highly underestimated. It's only after your opponent gets seriously hampered by the card that they start to respect it more.
