I see. So if you put an enchantment like, say, Fire Whip, on this, you could tap and trigger the ability in response to something being cast.

Why would you even what is this so off color clunky thing?

How does this work? Only way I see is if you enchant him with something like Fire Whip.

It also seems a bit OP considering the only way to counter it is to Stifle it.

I think a fight mechanic would make his ability a lot more relevant. Something like "
, tap: ~ deals damage equal to its power to target player" or "
, tap: ~ fights target creature".
Couple other things:
If this guy had haste, flash, and/or can't be countered, it would make a lot more sense flavorwise and relevance. You could also add that he can only activate his abilities when an opponent has a spell or ability on the stack, although that sounds more Simic or Azorius.

@amazingdan you're actually helping instead of saying how weird it is! woo!
I dunno, I'm not sure if giving it a fight mechanic would be over powered or not, especially considering it'd basically be a reusable counter without the loss of any cards whatsoever.
I like the idea of the whole Fire Whip thing more...
IDk, this was just a thing I thought of.

DERPLINGSUPREME Just give it : Spellslice Behemoth deals 1 damage to each player.

The fight mechanic would turn this thing into an engine that generates value AND protects itself. Careful about designing cards like that.

...This isn't even a Red/Green card...this is more a Green/Blue one.

DrFunk27 that ability seems way too broken. I think changing that to making it fight one creature, maybe two creatures, would be better.

Wut
This is fun, actually. Though I do think it should either be legendary or have an implanted ability. Or both.

DrFunk27 that's a bit more balanced but still worthy of a legendary creature.

I just realized you added in deathtouch too. That makes it insanely good.

Spellslice Behemoth 
Spellslice Behemoth can't attack.
Whenever Spellslice Behemoth deals damage to a creature, counter target spell unless its controller pays
,
: Spellslice Behemoth deals 2 damage to each creature without flying
4/4
The way I want this to work (I'm not sure if it does) is if there are 4 creatures on the battlefield, counter target spell unless controller pays 
(or counter 4 spells unless controller pays for each, etc)
