I was watching some videos from Control where he was playing Mage with Giants/Naga Sea Witch before the nerf, and I came up with the idea that it might still work in a deck which is, in it's core, similar to Big Spell Mage, but with a Giant finisher (no pun intended). My problem is that I'm F2P so I can't test it out as I'm missing a lot of cards, and I really can't craft all of those cards to test it out, so I'm just wondering if anyone has tried to make a deck like this? Sure it might not be very viable in Wild because of all the Combo Druids (Druid might even be a better choice for something like this as you can ramp to 8 mana quickly), but it might work against Mid-range, Control and Aggro decks and could in my opinion be really fun. The main reason why I came up with this idea is because Big Spell Mage is still decent against a lot of decks in Wild if you know your match-ups, even though most people would probably prefer Reno, Alanna and Jaina with a lot of removal alone are a decent threat in the late game/fatigue, so 8 Giants could maybe be a good additional threat. If anyone is interested, can test this out, or just has ideas on what the deck would look like, feel free to share them!

I think Evenlock with Glinda Crowskin can do this better. Just Baleful Banker her with echo and you can set up two boards of 6 Molten Giant later.
