Lammasu. Definite red-flag at common. Just because it can be activated in combat doesn't mean it needs to screw with combat e. g. life gain, maybe some commune effect?
I'd go for a mana sink that has either a significantly higher activation cost than the casting cost (so you activate it "the turn after" with ramp) or one that eats up individual/low amounts of mana (so every single mana can be used up).
Well for what I'm going for with white, mana generation for the combat phase, I expect most of the designs would be red-flagged, since so much instant-speed white space does go to combat.
But yeah, this could have a lower cmc, no evergreen abilities, and a p/t appropriate to the cmc instead. Maybe require this creature to tap in addition to the mana cost for the ability so that it couldn't be used multiple times in a turn?
Mana sink example for white during combat.
Forgot the mana cost

This feels in-between.
