Gargantuan Gorilla

A creature that taxes you for the privilege of keeping it alive. The upkeep clause is the design pivot: each turn you either feed it a Forest or it eats itself and takes seven of your life with it, so the body is rented rather than owned, and the lease comes due every turn whether you have the land to spare or not. The snow-Forest reward (trample for the turn) is a deliberate hook into Alliances' snow-permanent subtheme, a nudge to build a snow-mana base rather than a generic green one. The tap ability is the older, nastier half: a fight effect printed before fighting had a keyword, where the Gorilla deals its power to another creature and takes that creature's power back. At 7/7 it survives almost any single trade and clears most of the board one creature at a time, but it has to take return damage every activation, so the engine wears on itself the same way the upkeep does. The whole card is an exercise in self-inflicted friction: every line of text asks you to pay something you would rather keep (a land, your life total, the creature's own toughness) in exchange for a payoff that never quite outruns the cost. That tension is the point, and it is why the card reads as a relic of an era when green's big threats came with strings attached rather than clean, stapled-on value.
