This card could be beneficial in a control or defensive deck that focuses on stalling the game and outlasting opponents. While Giant Turtle's ability to prevent it from attacking every turn may limit its offensive capabilities, its high toughness and low cost make it a solid defensive option. However, there are likely better cards available for similar strategies, such as Wall of Blossoms or Fog Bank, which offer additional utility or protection. Ultimately, whether Giant Turtle sees play would depend on the specific deck strategy and available card pool.

Rules

10/04/04

It only cares if it attacked on _your_ last turn, and not your opponent’s. This makes a difference if you take control of the Turtle during your opponent’s turn after it attacks. You can use it on your turn because it began your turn on the battlefield and because you did not attack with it last turn.
