I like the Wizard "push back" rule better than the ITL one. It seems it was rewritten for ITL to give players a better chance, but it just makes Giants too weak. It pushes you down for what? To get trampled for a mere 1+1? That is best case for the Giant. If you roll out you can come out behind the giant.

Looking at Giants as a summon spell, Bears and Gargoyles are both a lot more effective if you are using the ITL pushback rules.

Maybe a middle ground where the giant decides if you get pushed back or pushed under when the hero fails his roll is better.
