Sea Giant is an epic neutral minion card, inducted into the Legacy set, formerly from the Classic set.

Previous availability

 * Regular Sea Giant could also be obtained as a first-time reward for first time reaching Platinum 10 and Diamond 10 in Ranked mode from April 1, 2020 to March 25, 2021 (or as a reward of Climbing the Ranks (6/10) and (8/10) achievements).

Strategy
The Sea Giant works excellently in decks that focus primarily on getting many minions out onto the field quickly, as that allows the Sea Giant to rapidly enter the field. A good example is a warlock or shaman Murloc rush deck.

Similarly, the Sea Giant can be useful in situations where your opponent has a lot of (cheap) minions on the board, with its efficient mana cost potentially turning the tide of the game.

Lore

While not evil creatures, sea giants care nothing for the laws of land dwellers or the lives of the small beings that trespass in the waves.
