I know trample isn't white, but the leviathan flavour feels right. Can I justify this?

I don't know... I think you could get away with trample, but sets never mix -1/-1 and +1/+1 counters. Plus, the (but not more than their toughness) clause probably wouldn't happen in real card wording.

Yeah. I decided in this set to forgo that distinction (since it will mostly be played by people who are used to different colours of counters) although in general I agree with wizards' policy.

I don't know how the fleshform will play, they've not come up in playtesting yet. But now I think of it, it probably should be a keyword, even though it wasn't originally, since it's intuitive to do, and simple but very longwinded ruleswise.

The name doesn't feel white, and neither does the ability tbh, it feels like a black card.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. White seems fine getting trampling occasionally, but White creatures don't demand that other creatures get smaller for their sake. White creatures sacrifice themselves for the team. This card looks very Black to me. Maybe Red if you squint.
