Stone-Giant of High Pass

AI draftAI-generated draft analysis — not yet human-reviewed. Treat with healthy skepticism.

Limited summary

A seven-mana 7/7 that immediately supplies artifact fodder and converts artifacts into repeatable 4-damage shots. It is an excellent Limited bomb and finisher, though its double-red cost and high mana value demand a stable mana base.

Roles

BombRole — Can win the game on its own if unanswered.RemovalRole — Kills or neutralizes opposing creatures or permanents.Token MakerRole — Creates token creatures or artifacts.Enabler + PayoffWorks as both an enabler and a payoff for its archetype.

Archetypes

RW Dwarves / StoriedRW Dwarves / Storied — BorosDwarf tribal deck built around Storied: once you control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you have an 'enduring story' for the rest of the game, permanently upgrading your Storied cards.How it plays: Count your artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas when building — you want to turn on the enduring story early and reliably. Equipment counts twice here (artifact + Dwarf tribal support). Once the story is on, it stays on, so cheap enablers that die don't turn it off.BR Goblins / AmassBR Goblins / Amass — RakdosAggressive Goblin tribal deck using Amass to grow an Army while chipping in damage. Sacrifice and death-trigger payoffs convert expendable bodies into value.How it plays: Amass stacks onto a single Army creature, so protect it or diversify threats. Removal-dense colors: use it to clear blockers and keep tempo. Death triggers make trades profitable.payoff here

Play around this

When the Giant's controller has three mana and an artifact available, avoid relying on a creature with 4 or less toughness and account for 4 damage to any target, including yourself.

Gameplay notes

The enters-the-battlefield trigger guarantees one Boulder even if the Giant is removed afterward. Preserve expendable artifacts when possible, and remember that the 3/1 Boulders have defender, so their main uses are blocking and fueling the damage ability.
