Frost Giant

Frost Giant is an epic neutral minion card, from the Grand Tournament set.

Strategy
This card works well in Inspire decks, or any deck built around heavy Hero Power use. Cards which let the player use their Hero Power more frequently (Maiden of the Lake, Fencing Coach, Garrison Commander, etc) can further help to reduce Frost Giant's cost. It is particularly useful for decks based around Genn Greymane, which can reduce the cost of Frost Giant quicker than other decks.
