HULK SMASH

The deck I use at tournaments. Its a decent price 80-90 USD in paper.

Playstyle

You pretty much put down super efficient creatures swing with them and buff them with Rancors or instants. This is aggro at its finest. The creatures don't have a lot of spell protection but can take a hit. The deck often wins turn 4 and makes people cry or run home. It's called HULK SMASH for a reason people.

Card Choice

Creatures-

• Leatherback Baloth

The all star of the deck. It's super efficient and it takes 2 burn spells to take it out. Also pumps your devotion, a lot.

• Experiment One

If Leatherback Baloth is the star Experiment One is the supporting actor. This guy easily is the most efficient card in the deck. It almost always becomes a 3/3 for . The regeneration ability also makes him a juggernaut and makes your look at you a little funny.

• Kalonian Tusker

Pretty basic card 3/3 for efficient and great flavor text.

• Strangleroot Geist

Fast creature which lets you swing early. The undying also lets it be able to take two burn spells.

• Avatar of the Resolute

Holy **** is this guy good. If you normal cast him he's already a 3/2 with reach and trample for but since we already have Experiment Ones and Strangleroot Geist to give us counters so its not unusual to put this guy out as a 5/4, FOR !!!!

• Young Wolf

I really didn't know which card to put as my other one drop, Dryad Militant, or Young Wolf. I eventually chose the wolf because of my local meta not a lot of people running Tarmogoyf and crazy graveyard shenanigans. If your meta is more graveyard focused definitely throw in the Dryad Militants.

• Thrun, the Last Troll

The money of the deck. This card is going for 11 dollars on SCG. He makes your deck win against control. He can't die, well only Final Judgement (and Wrath of God and Damnation can kill him. He also kind of looks like HULK.

Other Spells (Buffs)-

• Rancor

It's Rancor for crying out loud. I can't believe this card isn't $5 its just so good. The trample really helps you get damage through and if your creature "somehow" dies it comes back to your hand!

• Aspect of Hydra

Your devotions is pretty damn high the only card that uses is Thrun, the Last Troll so card will usually give +6/+6 for . Making it twice as good as Giant Growth.

• Vines of Vastwood

The only actual protection spell in the deck. Most of the time I'm kicking it to win the race and the main idea behind calling the deck HULK SMASH.

Lands-

• Treetop Village

Provides a place to throw extra mana Note BTolputt just told me this does not evolve Experiment One. Still can clutch some games though!

• Forest

Seriously what do you expect Islands?

Sideboard

• Feed the Clan

Good against burn and those match ups you need a little more life.

• Creeping Corrosion

Affinity.

• Dismember

Lets you take the pesky threats and is definitely a staple in the format.

• Beast Within

When

This is the answer. It just lets you have a panic button. If you really need to you could also play it on one of your forest if your desperate.

You kill their:and they get a:

• Natural State

This just replaced Nature's Claim as my go to artifact enchantment removal. With the banning of Splinter Twin this is strictly better.

• Deglamer

Shadowwarrior346 recommended this card against Wurmcoil Engine. It seems really nice for the match-up should help me beat Tron!

• Scavenging Ooze

This card is similar to the Dryad Militant and the converse of Essence Warden but can get huge if they are running a graveyard deck.

Tips

• Save your Vines of Vastwood for protection for you creatures or for when you can swing for lethal

• Avatar of the Resolute and Experiment One don't trigger at the same time so the Experiment One gets a +1/+1 counter but the Avatar of the Resolute doesn't collect a +1/+1 for that Experiment One.

• If you can't get 2 Thrun, the Last Trolls I would recommend either 2 Surrak, the Hunt Caller if you want to be faster or 2 Troll Ascetic if there is more control in your area.

My Thoughts

The deck is really fun to play and doesn't cost a ton of money. I really like the idea of Aspect of Hydra and Experiment One they stand out as my favorite cards in the deck.
