Trample is the only thing missing on the giant. Maybe it doesn't fit with reach, but it fits with the 6/6(or 9/9). Also 3 devotion is a big selling point.
But you only need five devotion to animate Nylea, and so you can just use a Deadbridge Goliath and some other permanent with GG in its mana cost. Or just Goliath and a couple Sylvan Caryatids or whatever other choice you make.
Plus, the really good part of the gods is their abilities. They really don't need to be animated. Nylea's no exception; I was surprised to see her make all your dudes shades.
I understand that you think this is a trash rare that will ruin your boosters, but you can keep the discussion respectful. I was merely comparing both cards, even in the most obvious facets.
It's hard to be respectful when some people are comparing it to Primeval Titan. It's not. It's not even Deadbridge Goliath. It's...better than Archweaver. That's as far as I'm going on praise for it. Granted, I called Archweaver "poorly designed, overcosted jank with antagonistic abilities", but it's better than Archweaver.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
If the store owner says that I can't trade in the premises, I'll just go outside. If he says that I can't trade within 10m of his premises, I'll go to 11 meters. If he says that he doesn't want to see me trading, I will put a basket over his head and continue trading.
Yes, he's a local legend. He's only known to take his clothes off before he goes into the Ladies' Lockerroom. Nobody knows what he does in there because he's invisible, but it's almost certainly tons of masturbating.

Seriously, there are very few creatures with reach that beat good old Deadly Recluse. The ones that do (Ruric Thar, the Unbowed, Sylvan Primordial) are only playable for reasons other than reach.
On phasing:
Makes you wonder what really is monstrous here...
