So this is a big haste creature, coupled with a kill? Seriously punishing.
I don't think it matters that it gets smaller again later; this is often going to be "I cast this, and attack, and have won"
Which feels more white to me (punishing them for nearly tapping out) than anything.
Your comparison to Dakmor Lancer is well taken - but this is only 1/1 smaller, in exchange for being at least 5/5 haste on its first turn.
Eldrazi killer!
