Ancient Stone Idol could benefit a deck that focuses on aggressive strategies with multiple attacking creatures, allowing you to cast it for a reduced cost. However, its high mana cost and situational discount might limit its efficiency compared to other cards like Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, which offers a more powerful game-ending effect. Whether Ancient Stone Idol sees play would depend on the specific deck's strategy and the overall card lineup available.

Rules

07/13/18

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

07/13/18

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.
