This might just be bad, worse than a hill giant most of the time. I wanted to have it be bigger, but White doesn't get creatures beyond 3/3 at common really. Maybe give it 1 extra toughness, or make it cost 2W?

Another option is to have it be 0 power and gain power on the sacrifice trigger. More of a black card then.

You could make it a 3/5 with a slight cost reduction on Siege Mastodon or make it a flier (though it might be too good at that point!)

Switiching to black where there is at least some overlap with Transfigure.

(Playtesting) This may end up being very strong. Twice in one game I had it attacking as an 8/4 after some Emerging and Acolyte of Bry'zan triggers. Felt good to get it to work though!
