| '''Giants''' are massive creatures resembling gigantic [[human]]s. Most are known for being dimwitted and violent. Giants are associated with all colors of [[mana]], but are most strongly aligned with [[red]]. They are not to be confused with creatures from other [[races]] that by magical or artificial circumstances have grown to ''giant'' sizes. Cards with the [[creature type]] Giant first appeared in ''[[Alpha]]'': <c>Hill Giant</c>, <c>Stone Giant</c> and <c>Two-Headed Giant of Foriys</c> .

| |
| ===Lorwyn giants===
| |
| In the plane known as [[Lorwyn (plane)|Lorwyn]], giants are associated with white and red mana. They are reclusive and lonely. They are known to take long sleep periods after which they arise with a new purpose in life and name. Some are prone to have prophetic visions of the future.
| |
| | |
| Their long life spans give them a particular perception of time, and wisdom that other races respect.
| |
| | |
| ===Shadowmoor giants===
| |
| In the [[Shadowmoor (plane)|Shadowmoor]] aspect of the plane however, giants are more brutish and associated with red and green mana. During their long sleep periods [[plants]] and moss grow over them, and they never bother to remove them.
| |
| | |
| Giants are viewed by other races as a problem, because they seldom stop in their path, even if a village is on their way.
| |
| | |
| ==Ravnican Giants==
| |
| In the plane of [[Ravnica (plane)|Ravnican]], giants are usually members of the [[Boros Legion]] [[guild]], although the [[Cult of Rakdos]] and [[Golgari Swarm]] are known to [[zombie|zombify]] their remains.
