Gargantuans

To build the Gargantuans deck, put together seven mountains, seven forests, ten to eleven red cards, and ten to eleven green cards, for a total of thirty-five cards. Leave all other cards out. About thirteen to fourteen of the cards should be summon creatures. Include big creatures, cards that destroy lands, and cards that get your lands such as Hill Giant and Untamed Wilds.

General Deckbuilding Tip: On average in a thirty-five–card deck with fourteen lands, you’ll be able to play five lands by turn five or six, six lands by turn eight, and seven lands by turn ten or eleven.

Playing the Gargantuans Deck

Land is perhaps the most valuable resource in Magic™. Without it a player is quickly vanquished. The idea behind this deck is to destroy that resource and then play powerful creatures to deal the death blow.

Play Tip: When you have sorceries that destroy lands, play them as soon as possible in the game, before your opponent can play big creatures.
