What's the point to Giant Body then? Preventative measures?

What do you mean? If you play GBJ when they play Captured it fizzles there Captured and there Captured goes to there chi. If Captured is on the warrior all ready and you play GBJ then Captureds effect still goes on. These have been ruled by Flare. Or is that not what your talking about?
