Deck Description

Summon strong creatures and use spells to lower your opponent's cards strength.

Key Combos:

- Dead Weight + Spectral Force = 8/8 creature with trample and a 2/2 advantage for six mana
- Liege of the Tangle + Consume Strength = 10/10 creature with trample and a 2/2 advantange that can create 8/8 creatures
- Primeval Titan + Liege of the Tangle = two more 8/8 creatures if Liege of the Tangle's ability is successful
- Drooling Goodion + Llanowar Augur = 7/6 with trample and a 2/2 advantage

Even early on, there is potential to deal great damage. For example,

- Hand of Cruelty + Llanowar Augur = 5/5 creature with trample that gains 1/1 if blocked, for 3 mana
- Garruk's Companion or Skinshifter + Llanowar Augur or Guul Draz Assassin

These are only some of the more important combos.

Deck discussion for Curse of Giants

Not to be a downer, but the majority of your combos are inefficient or don't work.
- Dead Weight + Spectral Force = Nothing. They don't "control" dead weight, they merely have it on their side of the field. So Spectral Force won't untap unless they have another black permanent.
- Liege of the Tangle + Consume Strength = What advantage is this? You can replace consume strength with any removal (ie, Doom Blade, Go for the Throat) which kills a creature, rather than merely giving it -2/-2. It's not a combo, its merely common sense. If you want something more helpful than a one time deal, try a whispersilk cloak since its also three mana, but makes him unblockable. If Liege somehow dies, you can now equip it on another creature.
- Primeval Titan + Liege of the Tangle = completely unnecessary. If you have liege out, you should have roughly 8 lands (given you dont have artifacts giving mana or double mana lands). If you have 8 8/8 creatures, do you think you need two more ?
- Drooling Goodion + Llanowar Augur = I dont even know what your going for here. You cant have this 2/2 advantage AND have Drooling Goodion at 7/6 from the same creature. You can sacrifice him once, thats all, so you get either +3/+3 trample or +2/+2 and the -2/-2.

The enchantments are not worth being in the deck. You should instead have some removal, again, like doom blade or go for the throat. Along with all the cards that call under the Spells catagory. They are all small time removal. Try a tragic slip instead. Its only 1 mana and has the potential for -13/-13.
I dont mean to say the deck is bad, just that it needs work. It doesnt have any synergy to it yet.
