Rulings
(04/10/2004)
Two Paralyzes are not cumulative. Paying either one will untap the creature.
(16/09/2007)
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.
(04/10/2004)
Paralyze can be cast targeting a creature which is already tapped.
(04/10/2004)
Paying the cost is optional.
(04/10/2004)
The creature can only be untapped using Paralyze once per turn.
