Legendary Creature – Lizard
Trample.
Only one creature without flying may attack you at once.
The obvious interpretation is "dinosaurs", but I looked for what else was in the picture, and to me it looked like a tyrannosaur facing down an apatosaur on a narrow cliff, hence this.
I went through several different similar abilities. I felt sad giving the flying exception, but it's necessary for flavour.
I'm not sure if this is too good a blocker. It's completely vulnerable to removal, but it's definitely a good answer to "oh shit, my opponent has all the good creatures" which is exactly the answer you want :)
It could easily go down to a five-mana 5/5 or up to a nine-mana 9/9. Or even be a P/T > CMC green monster. Or it may also provide a restriction on only one creature blocking, but if you have a 7/7, that won't normally matter that much. Or apply the restriction to everyone (originally it was written this way).
