Because of the high mana cost of the Mountain Giant this card is usually only played in constructed in decks that don`t play many cards early on in the game.
Notably a deck archetype called Handlock aims to use Life Tap to have eight to nine cards in hand as early as turn three. Cards that benefit from large hand size: Mountain Giant and Twilight Drake are then used to create huge board presence early on in the game.

When planning a turn involving Mountain Giants, do not forget that the cost will increase with every card played (unless the card draws others). Therefore, it is often wise to play Mountain Giant as the first card of the turn, or after any draw effects have been activated. This is particularly easy to forget when playing two Mountain Giants in a row: The second one will cost one more than the first. For instance, with a full hand, two Mountain Giants will each show 3 mana cost, but once the first is played the second will cost 4, resulting in a total cost of 7 for the pair.
