I just opened a gold sea giant, I have a few gold decks and could use the dust to work on another one. I'm about to de it, but wanted to ask if anybody thought it would ever be in a useful constructed deck.

i pulled one the other day and havent even tried it yet.  could be ok against zoo.  i think i would definitely dench a gold one but ill keep my normal one.

When Onyxia sees play, then everyone will appreciate poor Sea Giant :p

the problem with Onyxia is that you need to spend a spell of some sort to kill one of your whelps if you wanna drop Sea Giant... It would be useful against Onyxia, of course, but use of Onyxia would involve a meta without any aoe removal--not likely for a good while, if Naxx is as fast a metagame as people are predicting.

He's by far the crappiest Giant...

I don't think we'll be...sea-ing him in too many decks

8D

He's the best giant for arena though.

Arena != Constructed

*Useful in Shamen decks that always have minions on the board

*Leeroy -> Unleash -> Sea Giant

Try creating the meta instead of copying it.

Maybe in the future when we have things that summon 3-4 tokens at the same time, or better stealth minions but not for now.

I used to run Sea Giant in a Paladin swarm deck before where he worked quite well. He's not bad at all - he's the only giant you can play without using his text. His gimmick just isn't as strong as the other giant's in constructed. He's a good alternative to big body legendaries if you don't have them much the same way Boulderfist Ogre is. 

Sea Giants is probably the weakest of all Giants,which doesnt mean that it sucks :)

There is no way to consistently make it work. Unlike the other two giants who can be insanely cheap way more often.  

I DEed it for a gold Doomhammer, thanks for the input.

Yeah I tried working on a swarmy Rogue deck that used conceal to try to get out the Sea Giant and I just dont see it ever becoming real viable. There is just too much AE in this game IMO.

It's a very good arena card imo, i think realistically only hunters can get good use out of it in constructed with UTH.

Hunter, Paladin and Shaman seem to have the potential for it but I don't think it'll see reliable play until we see a minion that spawns 2 tokens as a battlecry.

Like Leeroy? Or Cenarius? Or Onyxia? :P You could even go Murloc Tidehunter :D

Ah yes, I mean a cheap one.

Something like 3 mana for 3x 1/1s

You'd think with all of the people trying to build anti-Zoo decks that Sea Giant would be a no-brainer.
