What this deck is
Giant Graveyard is a graveyard shell built around Giant, Graveyard. It sits at 3.8 elixir, which sets how often you can repeat its pressure and how much you can afford to defend before answering back.
How it wins
The pressure this deck applies, strongest angle first.
- Tank pressure — a heavy push the opponent has to answer with a full defence.
Where it breaks
Structural weak points read off the deck's own shell, not off a single matchup.
- No dominant structural weakness — this shell covers its own gaps, so its losses come from matchups and piloting rather than a missing answer.
