Tectonic Giant

Midrange threats have always been soft to removal: a four-drop that eats a kill spell before it does anything trades down on tempo, and the player who spent the mana is the one left behind. This body rewrites that exchange by triggering on being targeted, not just on attacking, so an opponent's removal spell becomes the price of turning the creature on. Point a spell at it and you either take three to the face or watch its controller dig two deep and bank a card to play later, all before the removal resolves. The result is a threat that cannot be answered cleanly: every interaction carries a tax, and the reactive player is punished for doing exactly what removal is supposed to do. The modal design keeps both halves live across a game: reach when you need to close, selection with a delayed window when you need fuel. The advantage mode is deliberately fenced in, exiling the top two but letting you play only one, and only until the end of your next turn, so it feeds you without ballooning into a raw draw-two. Elemental and Giant give it tribal footing, but the identity here is the removal-baiting attack-or-target trigger: a piece of design tension that makes conventional interaction feel like a losing proposition no matter which line the opponent takes.
