For the "Slinger" line, the card is actually Chakram Retriever.

Really love that you've found a way to sacrifice hulk when it gets into play, something a lot of us have been struggling with. +1, good luck!

IAmTheWraith Thanks, I keep getting those two mixed up.

For the backup line "hulk offline", i can't understand the step "exile worldly to loot". Disciple of the ring doesn't actually loot or am i missing something? How do we draw the ballista from the top of the deck?

JackBattle you are right. For some reason I thought the +1/+1 mode on Disciple was actually a loot. I've updated the description to use Summoner's pact instead.

Spleenface Cool but summoner's pact doesn't get ballista :/

JackBattle Reading cards is for Noobz. Fixed :)

What about grabbing trinket mage instead of spellseeker? Looks more clean.

Spleenface says... #8

JackBattle The original list actually had a trinket mage, I just found it didn't do much most of the time. If you want to cut something to run it, that would work. (Phantasmal Image is actually unnecessary to combo now, so that might be the one).

Great deck. Super fun and seems pretty resilient so far!

Great job in the tournament! I've been waiting for the one tap win with protean hulk because ive been working on a list myself thats more towards stax. So great job to the guys who figured out the combo that was a great find. It was a hard combo to figure out. Can't wait to mention your Vannifar deck and tourney success. Congrats!

Love it have a semi-competitive list built myself

Great-oak guardian is a really good six drop that gets even better with mana dorks, fatestitcher, and kiora’s Follower

No Body Double? Out of curiosity, why would you leave him out?

blighted_agent It doesn't seem to do much, what would I use it for?

June 13, 2019 4:27 p.m.

Spleenface it would give you access to additional untappers inside your gy by entering as a copy of them. Just gives you more options imo.

Spleenface says... #16

blighted_agent but it doesn't let me chain effectively, because it has the CMC of whatever you copy

Kiddragon says... #17

What is the option if an opponent play a Linvala, Keeper of Silence or a Grafdigger's Cage? Hope for the right top deck?

June 14, 2019 2:37 p.m.

Spleenface says... #18

Kiddragon pretty much. Gilded drake is the best out to linvala. If you see a lot of them in your meta, you could consider adding Kraul Harpooner.

Cage has a few more options to remove. You could also try and find a slot for Beast Within or Chain of Vapor.

June 14, 2019 3:04 p.m.

Kiddragon says... #19

Spleenface That sounds extremely fragile. Also we use a ton of slots for the combo. What is the advantage of this line over NavDrake lines or Soultiller lines?

June 14, 2019 3:26 p.m.

Spleenface says... #20

Kiddragon Flash Hulk, lower mana requirements and the fact that it works through null rod.

The deck is meant to be fragile and never not try to win on T4 or before.

OptimalGreen says... #21

I know you haven't updated in a few weeks but what about Waterlogged Grove ?

June 18, 2019 6:24 p.m.

Spleenface says... #22

OptimalGreen It can probably go in as a substitute for either Botanical Sanctum or Hinterland Harbor. I wouldn't replace a basic, because you need the forests, and don't want to run out of fetch targets.

June 19, 2019 9:39 a.m.

OptimalGreen says... #23

Which do you think would be best to replace it with than? If this deck isn't meant to win super fast probably Sanctum right?

June 20, 2019 12:50 p.m.

Spleenface says... #24

OptimalGreen It's definitely meant to win super fast. You are trying to play Vannifar on turn 2 or 3 and win the turn after. I replaced Harbor, because I found it more often came in tapped, Sanctum is easy to "schedule" to avoid that. Sanctum is the worse topdeck in mid-late, but it's pretty narrow that an unexpected topdeck land coming in tapped matters when you already have at least 3 lands.

Sorry my mistake I thought I saw a comment you made saying the deck didn't want to go off turn 3/4
