No sideboard found.

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

New try at a winnable giant deck. Still in the works.

4 Rampant growths and 2 fertile ground along with 4 stinkdrinkers should ensure you have no mana problems casting all these expensive giants.

Incinerates should help kill any early flying threats, but once you get your giants out, forget about it.
4 Bramblewood paragon's ensure you will have bigger creatures early as well.

comments welcome

Deck discussion for Giant Warriors

Not bad at all. I'd try to find some Birds of Paradise to be even quicker. Mighty Emergence/Where Ancients Tread might be fun. Exuberant Firestoker (only problem with these is they're not warriors) might work well, as they not only create mana, but give you a nice bonus when your giants hit play. Gaea's Anthem would make sure even your 4-power giants such as Blind-Spot Giant and Borderland Behemoth are big enough to trigger. Cream of the Crop would allow you to dig through your deck for what you need and filter away anything that isn't useful.

Personally, I would take out the Heavyweights, Inescapable Brute, and Fertile Ground but the rest of the deck looks pretty smooth. Furystoke Giant is a nice alternate win condition, but I would only play one in here. I am unsure about the Woodland Changelings. I know it's another giant, but you have plenty of other little creatures that are better in play than they are.

Thanks for the input.

I took out the fertile grounds for two Birds of Paradise. This helps with extra mana for one less mana cost. Good idea. I did not put in the Where ancients tread as I did not want another 5 cost spell that would not get help from the stinkdrinkers. Mighty Emergence works well as does Cream of the Crop. I took out the Heavyweights and the brutes and added a 4th Behemoth. I think this is the clincher Giant right here at a possible 2 red mana each.

I kept the Changelings as I like 2 more quick 2cc creatures for the early game that also receive +/+ boosts and help grow my behemoths. I am building this deck currently and look forward to trying it out at FNM.

Any more input welcome, and please rate.

I don't like giant decks to be honest. They're like a bad dragon, but if you wanna speed things up I'd suggest Sacellum Godspeaker if you find yourself with 3 or more giants in hand by 3rd to 4rth turn. Maybe a couple rite of consumption and 4 birds to ramp one. Good Luck ^_^

id change this deck to bloom tender ramp with early figs and wooly. could give u a lot more speed and then something for brion (which should be in ur deck) to toss out later. i run a similiar giant deck and use seething song, which is a good option as well.

i am kinda new i think those comments are way better than what i could say but you did give me some good idea for a giant deck.

The comment u left me for my Battlegrace Angel's Army was good and i actuly tok out the Glorious Anthem, I'll put it back in I think i'll take 2 out.. yea i have 4 Path to Exile they are in my Unblocable Exalted deck dats why the O Rings are in here, i guess i could try and get a hold of a few more, i just dont like the fact it gives my opponent land... yea thats a good idea trample! and acceleration would be nice too.

Thank you I'll try and incorporate the ideas you suggested.
