Playing with the Big Boys

This deck is giant tribal in Naya, and rather cheap too compared to other decks. it's a rather simple deck: You ramp, you summon big stuff, and you hit hard. The commander, Atla Palani, can help against board wipes as destroying all creatures will simply summon new giants to the battlefield. The cards in this deck belong into the following categories:

1. Giant Tribal
2. Ramp
3. Creature Removal
4. Artifact and Enchantment removal
5. Self-protection
6. Card Draw
7. Finishers

1. Giant Tribal

Giant tribal is exactly what it says. These are cards that care about giants:

• Borderland Behemoth is a big creature that becomes bigger the more giants you control.
• Giant Harbinger helps you find any giant creature card, as well as some tribal spells.
• Hamletback Goliath is easily a 20/20 or more with your big creatures entering the battlefield.
• Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas also becomes big quickly thanks to the expensive costs of your giants.
• Oathsworn Giant is there to ensure that your creatures can survive a bit more, as well as gain Vigilance so they can block.
• Calamity Bearer will double the damage that all your giants do.
• Stinkdrinker Daredevil makes all your giants cheaper.
• Sunrise Sovereign just boosts every giant and gives them trample, perfect to set up victory.

2. Ramp

Ramp is something that Boros Giants Tribal lacks, which is bad as giants tend to be very expensive. Luckily green helps out to let your giants come into battle quicker. Ramp in this deck can be divided into two parts:

• Land ramp: basic green ramp cards like Farseek, Kodama's Reach, Cultivate, Rampant Growth and Zendikar Resurgent fit in this deck, but also some giant-specific cards like Beanstalk Giant and Ondu Giant give you extra lands.

3. Creature Removal

Creature removal is something that the original giants were decent at as well. But with Green there are a few new tricks up the giant's sleeves.

• Single target removal: Creatures like Arbor Colossus, Bonecrusher Giant and Inferno Titan can help get rid of pesky fliers. Non-creature cards that help are Swathcutter Giant, Crush Underfoot, Sarkhan's Unsealing, Swords to Plowshares and Warstorm Surge
• Multi creature removal: Cards like Blasphemous Act, Magma Giant and Realm-Cloaked Giant make sure that nothing gets in your way.

4. Artifact and Enchantment Removal

If the problem isn't a creature, there are still methods to destroy them.

• Kalemne's Captain, card; Stormkeld Vanguard and Sunder Shaman are giants with inborn anti-artifact effects, but there is also Return to Dust, Wear / Tear and Vandalblast

5. Self Protection

Some cards help you stay alive and protect you and your creatures.

• Jareth, Leonine Titan and Sentinel of the Eternal Watch prevent the opponent from attacking you.
• Favor of the Mighty, Legion's Initiative, Palisade Giant and Protector of the Crown prevent you and your creatures from taking damage.

6. Card Draw

Card draw is something Boros Giants is pretty bad at. Add green, which draws from strong creatures, and suddenly replenishing your hand is pretty easy.

• Some cards give you a lot of cards, like Momentous Fall and Return of the Wildspeaker.
• Others give you cards for playing giants, like Elemental Bond, Garruk's Uprising, Guardian Project and Vanquisher's Banner.
• Tectonic Giant gives lets you play cards whenever you attack, or use it to damage your opponents.

7. Finshers

Finally, ways to win the game. You want to swing hard, and these cards help you do so:

• Brion Stoutarm. A Fling on a creature, which means that you can throw a 20/20 to the face for the win.
• Earthshaker Giant. Give your creatures +3/+3 and trample, and swing in for the win.
• Stoneshock Giant. Make it monstrous, and prevent your opponent from blocking.
• card: Surtland Flingher. Throw your big creatures just like Brion does, orthrow an egg to create a giant.
• Titanic Ultimatum. In case your giants aren't big enough, make them even bigger.
