Mammoth Harness is weird. It's clearly intended to be a sort of rare 'green removal' spell by eliminating a creature from contention. But it's trumped by the pie-bending common Roots in the same set.

Anyways, it costs too much. To stop myself from dropping down to {g}, I decided it was okay to go an extra step and remove first strike from the enchanted creature, and if we're nixing that then double strike should go too. I also tossed intimidate on, since Intimidate wasn't a thing at the time but probably would have been chosen if it was. Domesticated animals aren't intimidating.

I kind of wanted to go further, but then I just be designing a new card, so I had to stop. I guess this is a passable spell now, but hard to justify. You could always run Pacifism instead. But if you're mono-green, and you want an answer to flyers that isn't a dead card against non-evasive decks, then I guess this is a reasonable enough card.
