great we got a rancor, it is only +2/+0 and trample, here is something better, Behemoth Sledge, +2/+2, trample and an added bonus, lifelink, sure your not swinging as a 12/10 on turn 3, but you are swinging as a 6/6 turn 4, lifelink, trample, then turn 5, 12/12 lifelink trample, now would you rather have a 6/6 turn 4 with 6 life or a 12/10 turn 4 with trample

Make that Birds of Paradise a Noble Hierarch and then you're swinging for 7/7 by round four.
I tried to make this guy a 32/32 once. I only got him up to a 16/16.

This is the best green creature in all of Magic. For the purpose it serves of course - that being to beat your opponent over the head. So excluding Birds of Paradise and other green creatures not meant for attacking. I even think this is slightly better than Tarmogoyf. An 8/8 for 4 WITH pro black? And no drawback at all? Yeah. Chameleon Colossus makes Erhnam Djinn look like utter garbage, and that was the best green creature for 4 way back when.
I love the art too. Dude has another dude for a foot, and one dude appears to be sliding down his leg! The card is epic win. I just ordered 3 foils of this guy for $33, and can't wait til they get here.
Also, why are some of you so concerned with slapping Rancor or some kind of equipment on him? Here's a pro tip: HE DOESN'T FREAKING NEED IT. It's not worth the investment when he is already that good all by himself. It's just irrelevant, why would you go out of your way to do something like that.

@ChaoticNature: Because there's a thing called chump blocker that might cross your Colossus' way.
But i agree with the precedant comments, that's a cheap handy card with protection from several removal sources, can be pumped up comparably cheap and being a changeling, even finds use in a bunch of tribal decks.

Actually, the drawback for this card is its advantage in that any creature with protection(s) against any creature type can block this card no problem. But this is a killer card in elf decks.

I love this card With Blanchwood Armor! You could also put a rancor on it for overkill. Late in game it can get pretty nasty, especially if you play it in a tribal deck where it gets all the bonuses from lords and stuff. It could win the game by itself...but every +1/+1 on it becomes +2/+2...giant growth anyone?

This is an all-round solid card. The Changeling ability makes this card worth it in many Tribal/theme based decks.
Towering giant constructed from a hive of green, shapeshifting goo babies.
You win.

The awesomeness of this card just increased. Today my good buddy had him, an Elvish Archdruid, a Perfect, and Onmath (his EDH general).
In our 4 way 1v1v1v1 EDH game another friend forced him to sac 2 attacking creatures with odds, with 255 mana in his pool he decided to dump his mana pool into Chameleon Colossus. 255/4 (the 2GG) is about 63, and Chameleon colossus at a 6/6 already became a massive 5.53e19/5.53e19 beast hitting with no blockers.
It was truly an epic finish to a well fought EDH round. that 5.53e19 is 55 Quintillon, 3000 Quadrillion for those that don't know the numbers.

Just drop Rancor and you're good to go.
Also, he's a better Kavu Chameleon than Kavu Chameleon.
