Drop Giants using Boldwyr Heavyweights and Giant Harbinger. Lowland Oaf and Thundercloud Shaman to recur Murderous Redcap's, Hamletback Goliath amuses me... Goliath + Heavyweights + another Goliath = :D

Harsh mana curve though

The Daredevil should help the mana, still, the mana curve is a bit harsh.

Giants really just aren't competetive, unfortunately. Targeted removal toasts them.

If you like them, though, Thundercloud Shaman is out. Add in O-rings and Sunlance, 4 of each, dropping Redcap, and I would run Rebuff the Wicked in the SB. Brion is also awesome in this deck.

I would curve out at a certain high point and run Favor of the Mighty. But, have it able to be SB-ed out if someone outguns you.

Crush Underfoot is also good.

Balance the Plain/Mountain ratio, maybe 8 plain, 12 mountain.

Changeling Berserkers and Heros are also your friends, as they enable a quick comeback from Wrath.

I can't really add much more to what NBarden said, but you might want to take a look at Austere Command.
