Prepare for Titanfall **Circuit Challenge**
Hello all. I got an idea for a mechanic in my head last week that I decided sounded interesting, potentially OP, and could simply just be plain fun. I name it... Titanfall. (As a note, if this mechanic already exists, apologies, just let me know).
Titanfall works exactly like Landfall. However, instead of an ability triggering when a land enters the battlefield under your control, Titanfall triggers whenever giant and powerful creature or vehicle is brought out... ie. when you summon a titan. The concept is meant to add impact to when giant ships, monsters, mecha, etc. enter the battlefield. These things should have a major impact in some way, or a minor one. Think of a giant monster arriving to a city, creating a tidal wave or destroying a building... or a giant mecha falling from the skies and crushing enemies on impact, hero pose and all.
Written, it is: Titanfall - Whenever a creature or vehicle with base power 5 or greater enters the battlefield under your control ______________________________________________.
As examples:
For this contest, I want you to make cards that use this mechanic. That's all. They can be creatures, enchantments, artifacts, whatever.
Rules:
- Up to 3 cards per person.
- Realism: Cards should be balanced and have proper formatting.
- Creativity: Try to avoid a card that just shows a bald eagle as a 2/2 bird with flying and no skills.
- Story: Cards should, where possible, have flavor text and a brief explanation should be provided with the post if needed.
- Art: Please do NOT use any actual MTG art on your cards. I will heavily penalize cards that use MTG art.
- Newness: Please submit new cards and ideas. If you want to submit older cards, you may do so, but this will be used as a tiebreaker (where new creations rank higher against similar older cards).
For the winners:
Each Category:
- 1st: a follow, 5 likes of your choice and 1 Circuit Point.
- 2nd: 4 likes of your choice and 3/4 Circuit Point.
- 3rd: 3 likes of your choiceand 1/2 Circuit Point.
- Honorable Mentions: 2 likes of my choice and 1/4 Circuit Point.
Lastly, this contest ends at 12:00 PM EST on August 12th, 2019. I will post the winners within a week of that day at the latest.
Thank you, and best of luck to you all.

As to the card you submitted, it doesn't work. Titanfall is a mechanic that triggers whenever the event occurs. It doesn't occur "each endstep". Further, the formatting and spelling of many words are wrong (including the word pumpkin). Lastly, if it only triggered during end steps, there would be no reason to give your creatures haste, as the turn is already over. Send me a PM if you want to discuss further.

It can be hard to make an interesting card at low-rarity. Personally, I consider that to be much more challenging than designing an interesting Rare or Mythic card. So, I challenged myself to make one for this contest.
Mura is a treefolk on an unknown plane trying to unite the creatures of the forest.
Astrid is a puppet-master like being on Theros. As the gods engage in a war, she pulls the strings by empowering the gods and providing them with resources.
Meant to represent a shaman-cleric giant leader amassing a thunderous army of his kin.
