The Strategy

The goal here is to sac the hulk. Everything else is just a supplement. These supplements are important though. Counters and discard should be obvious, they help me a lot with making sure the hulk gets through. Other things, like Footsteps of the Goryo are less obvious. You may be thinking,"wait a second, I thought we used Flash to push out the hulk?". And while this is an option, it not the only card that helps us win with hulk. Buried Alive into hulk + Apprentice Necromancer + Genesis is a very strong play, but does not include Flash. Keep things like this in mind for the deck. The graveyard is just as good of a place for the hulk as your hand.

Also, keep in mind that speed is key. That means that if you have Castigate, Flash, and Protean Hulk in hand on turn two, don't cast the discard, just plunge into the combo. Of course, this isn't a hard and fast rule, don't be stupid and throw it right into two untapped Islands, just remember that each turn gives them one more card, and a bit more untapped mana to use agains you.

Why You're Here

Cards that I am hesitant to play:

Mirri's Guile, very likely could be bad, but I have a tremendous quantity of shuffle effects which could make it worth it.

Cards that I want to include:

Peer Through Depths, good dig
diabolic visions, more good dig, but has a disturbing lack of filter
Abeyance/Silence/Orim's Chant, could be a great protection package
Night's Whisper, I don't know if I need card advantage, this deck prefers card quality

If there are any other cards you believe should go in, leave them in a comment with some good reasons supporting them. Thanks in advance for helping the deck!
