Stone-Tongue Basilisk turns every blocked creature into a dead creature — any blocker that damages it gets destroyed, and it has deathtouch, so every blocker damages it. The cost is seven mana for a 3/4 with no evasion, which makes it slow and stoppable before it ever swings.

In Commander, Stone-Tongue Basilisk is a niche inclusion in green creature decks that expect to play a long defensive game — the seven-mana cost is painful but the effect genuinely discourages combat against you. Outside Commander, its Legacy and Vintage legality is academic: no competitive list has ever wanted a seven-mana 3/4 in a format defined by Force of Will and Delver of Secrets. Pauper, Modern, Pioneer, and Standard are all off the table anyway. Oathbreaker is the one fringe case where a green planeswalker shell could find a use for it, but the signature spell slot is better spent on ramp.

Price data for Stone-Tongue Basilisk isn't currently available in this listing, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for a current figure. As a seven-mana rare from an older set with narrow competitive demand, it historically sits in bulk-rare territory and isn't a card you should pay a premium to acquire.
