When you start missing the Wild cards so much, but you can't play them, because you had to start all over again and now are left with only Standard cards...in that case, you check the card page of this handsome giant out.
I think it is good card used in mill decks, and Coldlight Oracle. Not able to use it in standard which is a big drawback.
No, it isn't. The problem with Clockwork-Giant is that it cost at least 2 mana too much. Even if the opponent have 10 cards it still cost 2 mana, and that's way too much for the fact that the opponent has a full hand.
If the card would cost 10 mana with the same effect, then it would be way different.
I would say that Mountain Giant is much better than Clockwork Giant because you never know (unless playing against friends) if Your opponent has many Cards in his/her hand. Only thing that can be positive about this compared to Mountain Giant is that it's a Mech witch in some decks can be helpfull. But i don't see it being used in any decks I know but feel free to tell me if I'm wrong :)
Why isn't this used in Mill decks? Seems like it'd fit right in.
Mill intends to win the game by well... milling your opponent's cards and having them die from fatigue damage. Playing an 8/8 would probably mean they'd have to cut a mill-oriented card from their deck, which defeats the purpose of the deck.
I do however think that a Giants-based Mill could work. Mill has a tough time against Aggro, so giants like Molten, Mountain and Clockwork can be put along with Taunt-givers like Sunfury to create a hand-lock type Mill Rogue deck. The problem that arises once again is that Rogue has little to no sustainability for a deck like this, whereas the other Mill class, Druid has no need using an archetype like this one. In the future however, it may be possible.
Say what you will about it, it's play sound is awesome.
Clockwork Giant is from transformer?
Would be useful against todays Cubelock decks!

This card is just a giant failure.
RIP.

I think Mill decks can use it pretty nicely, now when Deathlord and Dancing swords are gone this could be a really nice replacement
It would cost 2-5 mana if the milling is efficent
Yes but Clockwork Giant is GvG too so that they are gone doesn't mean anything because it has the same problem
Oh didn't notice, thanks! :D
I think this card is pretty awesome!
Dont Like :-(
Least playable Giant atm.
