Deep-Slumber Titan

Creature — Giant Warrior2 generic manaRed manaRed mana

A 7/7 for four mana is a rate red has almost never been allowed to touch, and the drawback that pays for it inverts the usual penalty logic. Most oversized red creatures come with a downside that punishes you for keeping them around: an upkeep cost, a coin flip, a death trigger that hits your own board. This one instead handcuffs the body to a single, deliberately awkward key. It enters tapped and refuses to untap on its own, so it cannot even sit as a blocker; the most natural way to free it is to deal it damage. That means pointing a burn spell at your own Giant, sending it into a fight effect, or feeding it to a damage-based outlet to flip it back upright before combat. The design turns the entire creature into a puzzle about who controls the untap step, and the answer is never the untap step itself: damage is the release valve, not mana, not time. It reads like a Timmy payoff (enormous size, splashy stat line) wired to a mechanic that asks for the kind of self-harm red is uniquely equipped to provide. It sits in a small lineage of creatures balanced by a stubborn untap clause, but the trigger that springs the lock is the unusual part: damage as a button rather than a cost you pay. Built for the player willing to engineer their own pain, ignored by everyone who just wants the body to attack.
