Oliphaunt

Creature — Elephant5 generic manaRed mana

A war-elephant built as a battering ram, and the design leans entirely into the charge. The 6/4 body wants to swing rather than block, and its attack trigger hands +2/+0 and trample to another creature you control, turning the Oliphaunt into a rider that pushes a second attacker through a clogged board. That trample donation is the interesting half: a wide ground stall is exactly the situation where a lone big body bogs down, and shipping the boost to a creature that already connects converts the Oliphaunt's aggression into damage that would otherwise get chumped. Mountaincycling is the pressure valve. Six mana for a creature that needs a follow-up is a real gamble on any turn you are behind, so the option to pitch it for 1 generic mana and tutor a Mountain to hand (a red source, not just a colorless fixer) means the card is rarely a dead draw: a threat when the board is developing, a fetch when it is not. The floor is a Mountain in hand, the ceiling is two trampling attackers, and the choice never happens at cast time. Cycling is a discard-and-search activation from your hand, so you decide which half of the card to use the moment it matters, paying only the 1 generic mana and holding the rest of your mana for the turn.
