[Hercwarrior]

Nothing too interesting, but it's about what we'd expect from the giant tribe.

[fnord]

Solid commons, though nothing too interesting.

Axegrinder seems like it could be a Core Set plant.

[Deviant]

Appears to be common fodder to me. No obvious contructed playable cards. Late pick draft cards except maybe Ire which could be some nice reach if you grab a couple.

Haha what nice flavor text for an otherwise forgettable card.

[kami.inu]

The ire is probably the best of those, if only that flavour text on the axegrinder was real.

EDIT: Is it actually real?

[Azbander]

Wow the flavor text on Axegrinder sounds more like Unglued or Unhinged... (I hope its not real, the flavor text that is). Other than that these guys are pretty boring, probably limited fodder and beaters. I don't see them being anywhere near constructed worthy.

[ockham]

Ire is okay. Spot removal cantrip. Again, all these cards might see limited play - not constructed though.

[Horseshoe_Hermit]

Awe, they went and bested Craw Wurm with a tribe-interactive equivalent. D'oh.

And here I was thinking that only Green would get the nice cantrips. But it's a cycle. NICE TRY, GREEN! Better luck next time.

Blindspot Giant looks nice. 4 power for three mana... that's gotta be worth something. The tribal part though is going to keep him out of constructed, unless the Giant deck is otherwise good - which is so completely unlikely it almost goes without saying.

Then again, Wizards is actually trying to force tribal this time around. Onslaught was in a bad place...

And Axegrinder's flavour text is OBVIOUSLY fake. Dammit, people.

Lame. Very Lame. I read it as creature or player b/c it is just lame if it is just to the dome. Reading is...

[Ranma]

Blind-Spot Giant is really good, I like it for limited. Constructed will be a wait and see situation.

Planeswalkers too

I think Hillcomber Giant is very elegantly designed. Red is an enemy color of white, but white doesn't ever get to take advantage of that with mountainwalk because, well, white creatures (generally creatures of civilization) don't live in mountains. However, giants live in mountains, and giants are both red and white, and so this is the perfect chance to give a white creature mountainwalk, and WotC took advantage of that.

What do you mean? It has a blind spot, so it needs other giants to spot for him so it can attack/block. Makes sense to me.

[Athan_Menel]

Where getting their but we still need a giant with a "OMG AMAZING!!" ability. so with any luck in the next few days we might get one. "Comeon rumor gods!! you can do it"
