Giant becomes very powerful if you can consistently play multiples of them. A [[Throne Room variant]] would be the best support, particularly {{Card|Royal Carriage}} or {{Card|Disciple}}; doubling (or tripling) Giant ensures that the Attack will happen. If all players go for Giants, you'll want to grab as many as you can, because they will get trashed. Similarly to a {{Card|Knights}} game, whoever has Giants left when all the rest are trashed will have a distinct advantage, perhaps even more pronounced since Giant gives an enormous amount of {{Cost}} and hands out Curses. | Giant becomes very powerful if you can consistently play multiples of them.

{{Quote|Text=This came about because I wanted a card called Giant. Some kind of slow attack. I already had the Journey token so I used it to make an attack that only hits every other time. At first it didn't do anything on the face down turn, but I eventually nudged it up. Giants don't have a flavor tie-in with {{Card|Curse|Curses}}, but it gives them out just to make sure that the attack doesn't miss. | {{Quote|Text=This came about because I wanted a card called Giant.
