Wayfaring Giant, Creature — giant, designed by Christopher Moeller first released in Oct, 2000 in the set Invasion.
A deck that focuses on controlling a variety of basic land types would benefit from including Wayfaring Giant, as it can potentially become a powerful and cost-effective creature with its Domain ability. However, there are other cards like Tarmogoyf or Knight of the Reliquary that offer similar or even better value in terms of power and versatility, making them more popular choices in competitive decks. While Wayfaring Giant may not see as much play in top-tier decks, it could still be a fun and interesting addition to more casual or thematic decks that aim to showcase its unique abilities.

Domain abilities count the number of basic land types among lands you control, not how many lands you control or how many of any type.

A number of nonbasic lands have basic land types. Domain abilities don’t count the number of lands you control — they count the number of basic land types among lands you control, even if that means checking the same land twice. For example, if you control a Tundra, an Overgrown Tomb, and a Madblind Mountain, you’ll have a Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest among the lands you control. Your domain abilities will be maxed out.

To determine the number of basic land types among lands you control, look at the lands you have on the battlefield and ask yourself whether the subtypes Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest appear within that group. The number of times you say yes (topping out at five) tells you how powerful your domain abilities will be.
