Since the announcement of Molten Giant beeing unnerfed back to 20 mana, the only thing I could think about was that Echo Mage could work again!

Yes, I tried the Arcane Giant version, but it just wouldn't work as well, since sometimes you had the giants in your hand but couldn't play them when your block was popped.

This deck was really fun to play, but was always a little clunky due to a necessity of keeping Alexstrasza as a second win-con, and you culdn't just slam it on the board as you wish... But I believe that Frost Lich Jaina can occupy that slot, providing healing and pressuring the opponent for the rest of the game. Basically you lose the sinergy of the sudden burst (if there's only 2 giants on your board) and gain continuous sustain to grind your opponent out if you don't have all the conditions met to play giants and echo at once.

All in all, I believe Simulacrum to be worth the shot replacing Duplicate since you can, on a pinch, play it along with Echo of Medivh and Ice Block along with 4-6  0-mana giants on a single turn.

Can't wait for the sets to rotate and this change going live to play my favourite deck again!
