Lumbering Megasloth

The twelve mana in the corner is a bluff you never call. The generic portion of the cost drops by one for each counter among players and permanents (not just yours), which means every +1/+1 counter on a token army, every point of loyalty on a planeswalker, every poison, experience, and charge counter (including the ones your opponents are quietly stacking on their own board) shaves the price. The reduction bites only into the , so the floor is the two green pips it can never lose: at maximum discount, an 8/8 trampler lands for . That turns a nominally unplayable fatty into a payoff that reads the whole table's clock rather than a single deck's engine. The tapped-on-entry clause is what keeps the discount honest without turning it into a combo trick: however cheap it gets, it sits out the turn it arrives, so it cannot be flickered into a surprise blocker and always costs you a full turn cycle before it swings. That distinction pushes the card away from enabler and toward curve topper, something you cash in after the counters have already piled up as a byproduct of what your deck was doing anyway. It belongs to a small family of oversized creatures whose real casting cost is written in the state of the board, not in the corner of the card.
