Mashup of Wall of Tanglecord and Spitebellows.
The symmetry in P/T between the two source cards was too perfect, so I tried several combinations, but this was the best "good wall" combined with "surprise 6 damage".
I'm not sure of a fair cost: on a wall you pay a premium for 1/6 rather than 0/6, and walls shouldn't be too good or the game bogs down too much. But they a creature that can attack is very valuable so walls are often cheaper than you expect.
I considered having this gain flying, possibly as part of the first ability. I was amused by the idea that if you wanted a 1/6 flying blocker you had to pay twice. But I decided that was just clever, not actually useful. Alternatively I could give it flying outright.
This was nearly a copy of Bamboo Rocket Hedge #3 but I decided this was better.
Nifty. Plays something like Wall of Vipers: it'll hold off small stuff for a while, and then it'll trade with something pretty big.
