The question is do you dip into green to add the Great Henge and Beanstalk Giant? I feel like both are excellent cards that could add to the deck

It's probably not good in the slightest but holy shit do I wanna see the look on someone's face if you play them in Legacy and Buried Alive to dump three Quakebringer.

That's a pretty nice foretell reward. Gets some time to play with adventures too.
Plays nice with a lot of mechanics over the years.
Also yes, but it's never getting there in older formats so I immediately went to standard mode.
ED: On an unrelated note, it's kinda weird to me that there's three versions of that Tibalt and I think the regular ass draft box version is the runaway winner art-wise.

An then, like, a Mothdust Changeling.

Because the last hyper aggressive red creature that stops life gain worked out so well
At that price point it feels like it's slightly more of a reach card, but... it'll certainly close out a game.
The "can't gain life" part is a bit of a reach (tho Foretelling reduces the in-turn price), but the deck doesn't even need to cast them. Just pitch them in the yard with Cathartic Reunion, reload your hand, and let them smack your opponent from the grave while you've got a Bonecrusher or random red Changeling out.

Just dump a few into the yard and let some other giant be out on the battlefield

4 of those in your GY and one giant on the field is 8 fucking damage per your upkeep.

Good thing it's so easy to keep a single, more expensive creature in the field in the current meta.
I mean, bonecrusher giant is 3 mana that’s hardly expensive

Also we have no idea the extent of giants in this set
The support giants have in izzet is fucking insane though and they basically are gonna be super mega unless they just get dogshit in terms of other playable giants

If they get a cheap blue giant that is good they might be fucking insanely strong

Assumed it was a mythology reference, so I looked it up and sure enough:
EDIT: Wow that's bigger than it looks on mobile.

Oh God if they get a UR giant that lets them draw and discard
UR uncommon guidepost legend will obv be a giant. Not sure if looting is the theme it will support...
It's interesting that the Blue/Red uncommon guidepost saga has been the only one so far to have an explicitly tribal effect. Might be a sign that they're pushing Giant tribal a bit harder than the other tribes that are supported in the set.

it's new if only because it adheres to the new(ish) tribal design rules of only boosting creatures on your side.
Or a band.
And escape. Also hey free card in Brawl or Commander for doing what you want to do anyway.
This is a horribly good card

Vega? Yeah that's definitely one of the U/W Foretell draft payoffs.

Uro is banned in standard, nowhere else
just lived the 7-0 dream, and now to never play it again
I just save the entry fee and go directly to that second part.

normally I don't play it, but I'm at 35k gold and also I'm a fucking idiot

It’s anti mill/rogues tech
Also did one Omni Draft and went 7-2. Got to draw 4 with the Orrery, and ended a couple games with an empty library.
One of my loses was to an Ugin ult, proving he's busted everywhere. :P
...Oh, right. Yeah, that's silly.

I thought for a second I had clicked into the NFL thread and was VERY confused.
