Kogla, the Titan Ape
Green rarely has trouble killing artifacts and enchantments, so welding a Naturalize-style destroy effect onto the attack step is not filling a color gap; it is bolting a repeatable answer onto a body that is already swinging. That destruction fires the moment this Ape attacks rather than on combat damage, so each attack pre-emptively strips an artifact or enchantment from the defending player whether or not the giant connects. The enters trigger front-loads a fight the turn it lands, so a seven-power creature that would otherwise sit idle instead trades into something on arrival. The piece that shapes deckbuilding, though, is the activated ability that returns a Human you control to hand while granting indestructibility until end of turn. That is a deliberate cross-tribal handshake: an Ape whose best home is a Human-heavy shell rather than a raw green pile. The bounce resets enters-the-battlefield triggers, letting you replay a mana dork or a hatebear at will, and it runs at instant speed, so the indestructible rider is live on defense and during your own combat alike, letting the giant swing into an established wall of blockers or shrug off a removal spell on the opponent's turn. The question the card is built to answer is not how green kills artifacts but how a big green threat carries protection and a value loop at the same time. Its answer is to split the work across a fight on arrival, disruption on attack, and a Human-powered protection engine on tap.
