Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Clockwork Giant notes.
- Example: If your opponent has 10 cards in their hand your Clockwork Giant costs 12-10 = 2 mana, and if your opponent has 8 cards it costs 4 mana. If your opponent's hand is empty your Clockwork Giant costs 12 mana, and thus it cannot be played without other cost-modifying effects.
- The mana cost of this card cannot be reduced below 0. However, further cost-reductions can help in countering cost-increasing effects like
Freezing Trap. - This card has an in-hand effect: it modifies its own mana cost only while in the player's hand, and not while the card is anywhere else.

Trivia
- Clockwork Giant is the fourth Giant to be added to Hearthstone, and the first to be added in an expansion. All giants are 8/8 epic neutral minion cards, featuring a theme of their mana cost being reduced by a specific game factor. The mirror of the Mountain Giant, Clockwork Giant is the first Giant to have its cost altered by a factor related specifically to the opponent.
- The flavor text, "He and Mountain Giant don't get along." may be a direct reference to the fact that an opponent with Mountain Giant in hand will actively hold cards to make it have a cheaper mana cost, which also lowers your Clockwork Giant mana cost.
