Trample
Whenever this creature attacks, another target creature you control gets +2/+0 and gains trample until end of turn.

Mox strategy
Oliphaunt is a solid mid-to-late game red common that’s best as either a large trampling attacker or, more importantly, a flexible land fixer via Mountaincycling. Its biggest strength is smoothing draws in red decks that need to hit mana while still being a real threat if drawn naturally.
It works especially well in aggressive or go-wide decks, since the attack trigger gives another creature +2/+0 and trample, turning a small attacker into a meaningful damage source. It also pairs nicely with recursion, self-discard, and graveyard synergies because cycling-like effects put it into the graveyard cheaply and replace themselves with a land.
Key mechanics it supports are land tutoring, attack triggers, and combat damage push. In deck building, treat it as a mana consistency card first and a finisher second, especially if you want a high-curve red deck that still needs early-game stability.
