Larger Than Life

Trample is the load-bearing word here, not the +4/+4. A blocker eats a raw pump spell whole and leaves the extra four power wasted on a wall; add trample and the spell converts any attacker into a clock that ignores chump blocks and dumps the overflow into the opponent's life total. This is a finisher wearing a combat-trick mana cost, built for the moment when the opponent has burned their removal and stands behind a lone blocker. The sorcery-speed restriction is the honest tax on all that reach. It cannot be held up and flashed in after blocks are declared: you commit in your main phase, before combat exists, then swing on faith that nothing answers the creature between now and damage. That telegraphs the whole play. The opponent watches the enlarged threat resolve and picks blocks knowing exactly how much power is coming, which is the tradeoff green accepts for the size. It belongs to the aggressive edge of the color, where the design bargain is simple: hand one creature enough mass and reach that a single connected attack is supposed to close the game, and pay for that ambition by casting the spell early and out in the open.
