Uh, let's first clean it up

 

Flame-Back Mastodon 1RR

Creature - Elephant

Whenever Flame-Back Mastodon or another creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may pay 2 life. If you do, it can't be blocked this turn and it gains haste until end of turn.

Heroic - Whenever you cast a spell that targets Flame-Back Mastodon, put a +2/+0 counter on Flame-Back Mastodon and it gains first strike until end of turn.

 

(removed the last part because it's unnecessary and hard to get the wording correct)

 

The first effect is not broken, but red doesn't make creatures unblockable (at least not creatures of any size). I'd remove that and make it grant only haste (you could also grant it trample if you really want evasion since trample is something red can do).

 

The second effect needs to be changed from +2/+0 to +1/+1. Wizards only uses +1/+1 or -1/-1 counters nowadays to avoid confusion. Otherwise, it's nice.

 

The mana cost is reasonable and the power and toughness ratio are a bit awkward for red but I guess it's fine.
