Damn, they're really going for broke with red in this set, aren't they?

There have been some reasonably good red and white giants introduced lately. I may have to take my Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas precon and actually build a giant tribal deck if this keeps up.
Current Commander decks: Zurgo Helmsmasher - Borborgymos Enraged - Elenda, the Dusk Rose - Doran, the Seige Tower - Sliver Overlord - Yarok, the Desecrated - Scion of the Ur-Dragon - Hazoret the Fervent - Purphoros, God of the Forge - Gisela, Blade of Goldnight - Marath, Will of the Wild - Ramos, Dragon Engine - Ruhan of the Fomori - Narset, Enlightened Master - Kokusho, the Evening Star - Mizzix of the Izmagnus - Dragonsoul Knight (Pauper) - Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas (Precon)

I think this might be a break out all-star in Standard. A fairly large body, and very decent card advantage. The fact that it looks at two cards means you're going to hit a spell a good amount of the time. The problem with the single "exile, play until end of turn" type cards is that often it might just be a land.
Then it can deal 6 damage during an attack. I think if opponents don't remove it, it will take over a game fairly quickly.

Wow! And it curves perfectly with Bonecrusher Giant. Red value town.

So is this the titan cycle that Maro talked about?

It's an Elemental Giant. First time for that (outside of Changelings and the OG everything bagel).
I will be making room for this in Arena Brawl decks for Torbran, Grumgully, and Omnath III. I don't know if it'll be good enough for Standard, as there is a lot of competition at 4 CMC in decks that might run this. Also appreciate that the first trigger enables Spectacle cards like Light Up the Stage, in case you want to the option to choose both cards.

May your games be chaotic and your decks be rogue.
