I noticed Grotesque Statue doesn't include the word "may" in it's text.  I assume based on the rules as I understand them that means it's reaction is mandatory.  So you can't pick and choose on which skill checks you use this thing.  If that is true then it is still a powerful effect, but it might get wasted on easy skill check if you get unlucky.

The end of page 2 of the test refernce, not the basic rules, explain that forced abilities/triggers will say "forced" in bold. Both the rules refeRenee (page 3) and basic rules ( very end of the past page) say all abilities/triggers are generically may

I do see it now.  The "may" is in the Triggered Ability rule.  Not on the card.  For some reason I had assumed the "may" needed to be on the card.  Must be baggage from other games.  That good to know.  Grotesque Statue goes back to being as great as I though originally.
