Hmm. To me this looks like a reference to Lorwyn, not Dominaria: it's the flamekin ability as seen on Soulbright Flamekin, Inner-Flame Igniter and Ashling the Pilgrim.

(Caring about resolutions rather than activations also makes it clearer how it behaves in connection with Illusionist's Bracers, Rings of Brighthearth etc.)

yeah it is, I just didn't feel like giving trample to a BU card so easily. it's a little clunky but it works, which is fine for now.

Fixed the rules text to be neater, thanks for the tip.

Lost the resolution checker (set is cleaner without such things), made it give trample at all times and sacrifice at EOT. Think it fits the idea of a Monstrosity better.
