The card's fun and powerful, but you'll be wishing it was just a mana leak when they play their fatties and Planeswalkers, it's too narrow, maybe try it sb against jund
maybe not straight burn, but correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't some kind of RDW appreciate getting damage in while clearing the way for its creatures?
Anyways, doesn't straight burn kinda suck? super sensitive to mana variance and it has like a crapton of ways to answer it
once you're done laughing at those poor saps who got all their hopes up you see he has some small potential,
I see a Walls.deck with green for Axebane guardian and Sylvan Caryatid for potentially massive Mind Grinds along with that defender mill guy and some other goodies like the mill counterspell and divination. you'd probably need Ashiok too as the control matchups seem a little rough otherwise, but at least she'd be well protected
Seems like it could hold its own, with the benefit of having all its offensive action take place on opponents EOT
I dig pretty much everything about this card except its ridiculous mana cost, could be an interesting card though, it has some options, first that comes to mind is a Maze's end deck as an alt win-con/big beefy roadblock, but looking at gatherer, it could also fit in a sliver deck with Manaweft Sliver and chromatic lantern, or a defender deck with axebane guardian and Caryatid with the aforementioned lantern
Only deciding factor is if it's worth the trouble and I think it might be as it requires two removals when bestowed and it dodges quite a few, while also being nearly impossible to race.
Seems to go perfectly hand in hand with The Lion King, T3 lion, T4 her, attack, get a token activating her ability, next turn get your card and another token/card if they decide to attack with anything you feel is blockable with your kitty cat, not to mention you're already at 4 devotion for her.
I've been kinda theorycrafting a deck involving this interaction along with heliod and his spear for the tokens, throw in precinct captain with his tasty WW and token production, maybe a nykthos or two, sphinx's revelation, maybe that first strike archetype to go with all that tasty vigilance, some brave the elements and whatever other nasty stuff that you can come up with and you've got a nasty W/u devotion deck that can be almost impossible to attack into early game and just gets huge advantages later on with help from the gods,
Edit:like MAD, man

There's Axebane Guardian into Mind Grind, and Doorkeeper activations, as I mentioned in my post.
Jace, Memory Adept's still legal too, a deck full of walls oughta keep him alive

I'm inclined to call it White Beefie
