The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This is a deck that I aim to keep cheap (actual card price wise) and simple, you win with lethal damage from big creatures (it's for a new player). You use Stinkdrinker Daredevils and Brighthearth Bannerets to ramp up to Giants that have power ramps of their own (i.e. Borderland Behemoth or Hameletback Goliath). Obsidian Battle-Axes help get your giants out of the gate. Brion Stoutarm is your backup plan, if you cant get past your opponents defenses for some reason chuck an Impelled Giant at them for lethal damage at a small sacrifice.

Deck discussion for Giants R' Us

Very nice deck...... all standard approved too

I wouldn't exactly call the deck "cheap" though. When compared to something like a goblin deck, this will take a little while to get up and running. I would suggest adding in Seething Song just to speed up the mana gain a little.

Thumbs up.

Dude. Two thumbs up! I have always thought giants have a lot of potential.... and now it is realized...
i do think that you could lose the Moonhold and the waves though. For 3 i dont think moonhold is worth it, and with 6 plains they might be able to play creature spells. And geez! waves! as if double strike on like a 10/10 or more with trample isn't enough! maybe 1 or 2 battle mastery instead. GREAT DECK :) check out my tourny deck if you want.....tapkill...... would be a interesting fight. :P

You might want just some general creature suppression. path maybe?

Moonhold you don't need, but for right now it's fine. I think you need some more early game cards. Maybe throw in some 1-2 mana walls. I know you have the Bannerets and Daredevils, but by the looks of it, they don't fully cut it. If you draw enough of them each game, then fine. But maybe something to help defend while you build up your mana pool and such would help.

When I said cheap I meant how much it costs to buy the cards and this was only a first draft. I agree that Moonhold is to expensive and inefficient in this deck so I'm thinking about replacing them with 2 more Obsidian Battle-Axe, as for creature control, I think Crush Underfoot will work fine, I plan to add 2 more but with the Stinkdrinker Daredevils they will only cost one mana to play. Thanks for the input so far and let me know what you think when I update it.
