Gigantic

Gigantic creatures are spread out over 2 cards, with one card containing the creature’s text box and the other its art. In order to play a gigantic creature, a player must have both halves of the creature in hand, and play those cards together as a single creature. The top half of a gigantic creature has the text “1 of 2” next to its name, while its corresponding bottom half shares the same name and has the text “2 of 2” next to its rarity icon.

A gigantic creature counts as 2 cards while out of play, but as a single creature card while in play. Playing a gigantic creature only counts as playing 1 card, and therefore it is allowed on the first turn. After a gigantic creature leaves play, the 2 halves are treated as separate cards again.

Both halves of a gigantic creature have the same name, house, and card type. Otherwise, each half has the attributes printed on it: the top half has bonus icons, while the bottom half has power, armor, and the text box.

If a card instructing you to play or put into play a creature chooses one half of a gigantic creature, that effect fails. If a card instructs you to play or put into play both halves of a gigantic creature, the gigantic creature is played or put into play.

Example: Bella plays Wild Wormhole, allowing her to play the top card of her deck. She looks at the top card and sees that it is the top half of Ultra Gravitron. She cannot play that card from the top of her deck (even if she has the other half of Ultra Gravitron in her hand), so the card is returned to the top of her deck.

Rulings

• I have the top half of Ultra Gravitron (MoMu 089) and the top half of Sirs Colossus (MoMu 152) in my hand. If I play Digging Up the Monster (MoMu 003), can I search for the bottom half of Sirs Colossus and the bottom half of Ultra Gravitron, or does Digging Up the Monster's ability only allow me to search for the two halves of the same creature?
  When resolving Digging Up the Monster's Play: ability, you may search for any two halves of a gigantic creature, they do not have to belong to the same gigantic creature. In this case, yes, you could search for the remaining half of Ultra Gravitron and the remaining half of Sirs Colossus and after finding them and revealing them to your opponent, put them on the top of your deck in any order.

Outstanding Issues

There is an outstanding issue concerning Gigantic.

• If I play Exhume and target half a Gigantic creature in the discard pile for which I have the other half in my hand, does the Gigantic creature get played or does the effect of Exhume fail?

  Arcana Advises: A card that will allow you to play a single creature from your hand such as Helper Bot, or Subject Kirby will successfully play a Gigantic creature if both halves of the Gigantic creature are within your hand. However, Exhume's ability is targeting a single card in the discard pile and would therefore fail.
