The one place I see this working is a Gug deck, where you actually want to take wounds. Beyond that I'll pass.
Ward Phillips would protect from that wicked Forced Response, but I still don't think the juice is worth the squeeze. The Basilisk is pretty much unplayable in my opinion. A shame too because I think it's a pretty cool card.
Basilisk seems like the quintessential Shub card. High cost, high skill, redundant icons, Toughness. The wounding effect would facilitate your graveyard recursion abilities, although it might do so a little faster than you'd like! Basilisk should've been a Shub card, in my opinion, but there's probably something in the Dreamlands stories that made it Neutral.
