That's right, it's time to make Wizards of the Coast regret unbanning Protean Hulk . First off the land count may seem high, but with a playset of Contingency Plan , Taigam's Scheming , and a whole bunch of other top deck manipulation they don't seem to hurt the deck. One more thing before we get deeper into the deck and its play style. On average the deck wins between turns 3 and 5 occasionally being delayed to turn 6

Okay, back to the deck's play style. Your first objective is to hit at least one Contingency Plan or Taigam's Scheming and from then on they chain together really well (especially with other cantrips added in), which will be used throw Protean Hulk into the graveyard. (BTW, if you draw into too many Protean Hulk s, the one Mogg Fanatic , or 2 of any of the other creatures you can just use Thirst for Knowledge to drop them in the graveyard.) Once you've completed this move on to digging through your library for Footsteps of the Goryo . Now, as you've probably guessed already, cast Footsteps of the Goryo to return Protean Hulk and kill it at the end of the turn, which will lead you to the real reason that you should play Protean Hulk .

The Combo (proceed to play this out once Protean Hulk is sacrificed):

Step 1) use the Protean Hulk die/tutor ability to put Viscera Seer and Body Double into play

Step 2) have Body Double ETB as a copy of Protean Hulk

Step 3) sacrifice Body Double (aka Protean Hulk ) into Viscera Seer to tutor up Mogg Fanatic and Reveillark

Step 4) sacrifice Mogg Fanatic to itself to ping your opponent for 1

Step 5) sacrifice Reveillark to Viscera Seer to reanimate Mogg Fanatic and Body Double

Step 6) have Body Double ETB as a copy of Reveillark

Step 7) sacrifice Mogg Fanatic to itself to ping your opponent for 1

Step 8) sacrifice Body Double (aka Reveillark ) into Viscera Seer to reanimate itself ( Body Double ) and Mogg Fanatic

Steps 9...) repeat "Step 6-8" for as long as needed to get kill your opponent

WHY USE THIS COMBO:

1) If Protean Hulk is targeted by Surgical Extraction or Extirpate you can still continue to combo off by dumping the rest of the combo pieces other than Viscera Seer ( Body Double , Mogg Fanatic , and Reveillark ) into the graveyard. THEN PROCEED TO...

A) cast Viscera Seer

B) use Footsteps of the Goryo to reanimate Reveillark

C) continue by repeating "Step 5-9"

2) If Viscera Seer is targeted by spot removal ( Path to Exile , Fatal Push , Lightning Bolt , etc) you can sacrifice it to itself. THEN PROCEED TO...

A) sacrifice Reveillark or Body Double (as a copy of Reveillark ) to Viscera Seer in response

B) sacrifice Viscera Seer to itself in response

C) use the Reveillark LTB ability to reanimate Viscera Seer and Body Double

D) continue by repeating "Step 5-9"

BTW, I am still deciding whether to make the side board more focused on hate cards for other decks ( Leyline of Sanctity , Leyline of the Void , Damping Sphere , Stony Silence , etc) or a protective shell for this deck's combo. ALL THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS ON THIS TOPIC WOULD BE APPRECIATED. Next, I am still deciding whether to splash white in the deck's mana base in for the times I may have to hard cast Reveillark due to disruption caused by the opponent, not to mention it would also provide more options for side board. ALL THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS ON THIS TOPIC WOULD BE APPRECIATED. Outside of these topics all other ideas, suggestions, critique, etc WOULD BE APPRECIATED as well.

Now that seems to rap up my explanation for the deck. I hope you liked this deck and if wouldn't mind supporting me and the decks I design on Tapped Out simply giving the deck an UPVOTE WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
