Giantism (Naga Sea witch/Giants)

So everyone thought that Molten giant was pretty unusable after they made its mana cost 5 more, right?  Well… they were right!  BUT!  In wild play, molten giant can now see a return with a little mechanic that I discovered.  I thought I should make the deck official on here before somebody else came along stealing my idea just because they fought my deck, and so that others can have fun playing with giants.

Now the idea behind this deck is that Naga sea witch and bright eyed scout make a card’s cost 5.  The FUN thing is that giants have their cost reduced REGARDLESS of their base cost, so you get to play molten giant for FREE at having taken a mere 5 damage.  Clockwork giant and mountain giant are free so long as players have 5 cards in hand, and sea giant is free so long as there are 5 minions on the board, a task made much easier by playing naga sea witch and a few other giants.  You keep yourself alive in the early game with argent lance, equality and consecration, and you stabilize by plopping a spikeridged steed on one of your giants, and winning jousts with Tuskarr Jouster.  You deal with combo mages and secret paladins in wild by popping giants down early with your sea witch, and eating their secrets!  (Save your eater of secrets until you are going to kill a mage with your giants, or if there’s more than one secret.)

Now obviously this deck isn’t the most POWERFUL deck in the world, there are lots of things that are going to be better, and the list here is simply the version I play with because I won these cards.  Ideally you’d want another bright eyed scout, and another mountain giant, and you’d probably just drop the argent lances, or the skeleton knight and master jouster.  I simply have a soft spot for Skelly knight cause he was the first legend I ever pulled in this game.

Now I used to run this deck with frost giant, but he’s a little slow thanks to needing to use your hero power so much, and realistically you’re usually only going to use it two or three times 4 at most before your Naga sea witch, and even if you did use it 4 times the frost giant will still cost you 1 while the others will ideally cost you nothing.  This deck could work with other classes, but they don’t have the stabilization the Paladin has, and they don’t have holy wrath.  And let me tell you, nothing is quite as satisfying as killing a reno-lock at 24 health because they lifetapped one too many times and you happen to pull captain molten with your holy wrath.

So here’s how this deck works!
Aggressively Mulligan for Naga Sea witch.  Occasionally hold onto clockwork giant if you’re facing a mage or warlock in wild, because there’s a decent chance of playing it turn 4.
Turn 1: Nothing
Turn 2: Hero power if your opponent plays nothing, lance (if you have it) if they’ve played a minion, and kill said minion if possible
Turn 3: Same as turn 2, but if you have coin watch to see if you need to board clear with consecration.  Bright eyed scout should probably not be played turn 3 because the odds of playing what you draw is minimal.
Turn 4: Time for that handy bright eyed scout if you have it, OR if you have the coin it’s time to have the sea witch unleash the giants!
Turn 5: UNLEASH THE GIANTS! (If you lack a naga sea witch, don’t give up!  You likely can stabilize with Tuskarr.  Be careful if you’re fighting a mage not to invest more than 3 giants just in case of doomsayer/frost nova)
Turn 6: If your naga sea witch happened to survive you can sometimes get away with playing an Alex lethal, or bonemare/spikeridged steed for protection.
Turn 7: By this point if you haven’t killed them or died yourself, it’s probably going to be one heck of a seesaw battle… unless it’s a freeze mage, at which point they’re probably cursing their lack of doomsayer
Turn 8+: You’re on your own.

The Primordial drakes are pretty decent turn 10s for equality/drake, and they’re also good clean up if you survive to turn 8 and still haven’t pulled into your naga sea witch.  I’ve thought about trying to run some card draw in this deck, but trying to fit it in and make it still work with the jousts is tricky… especially if you still want your holy wraths to be effective.  Rule of thumb, ALWAYS hit face with holy wrath.  It’s basically your pyroblast, so SOMETIMES you can hit their really scary minions, but most of the time when I aim it at minions it ends up not working out great. :\

If you feel you can improve upon my deck, PLEASE DO!  Nothing would thrill me more than getting to see people make this deck better, and more fun!  Just be sure to leave a comment and tell me about it!  Also remember you heard here first from MooseChangerPat!  … Well okay, I’m not egotistical enough to think I’m the VERY first person to have ever come up with this idea, but maybe I am!  I’ve yet to see anyone else do it.
