April 2016 Card Nerf
It was announced on April 20th, 2016 that Molten Giant would receive a nerf.
- Mana cost increased to 25, up from 20.
Quote from BlizzardMolten Giant is an interesting card, but it’s too easy for players to reduce its mana cost to 0. We’re increasing Molten Giant’s mana cost to 25 to increase the risks players must take to get a free Giant. The changes to Force of Nature and Arcane Golem will make dropping to low health somewhat less risky as well, which helped spur this change.
I played Handlock almost exclusively - after this nerf I haven't touched this game.
Come back. Handlock is back and better than ever.
Reno Jackson, Brann Bronzebeard + Antique Healbot And many more ways to recover damage.
I still think it is easy to get this down to 0 cost. Pit Lord, Flame Imp, Emerald Reaver, Shadowbomber, Spreading Madness etc. Interesting concept of a card.

I remember the classic one. Sad to see it after nerf
Sad that this card is still unplayable.
Quest Mage would like to disagree with you.
lul
I miss this big boy :(
i got the feeling this card will be useful soon
so now you need to be at 5 health to cost 0, tho with the new priest quest comming with un'goro you can play it with 15 health if you already completed the quest and the reward

Once Reno is out of standard I hope this gets buffed back to it's original state its kinda unfair how this got nerfed but Blizz still had the balls to release Arcane Giant.
Kinda useless
