He's like the incredible hulk, but with more triggers.
The Deck
This is my modern combo deck. It utilizes Protean Hulk's LTB effect to tutor up a four card instant kill creature combo. It can extremely rarely win on turn one, (even off of a mull to six) every once in a while turn two, a pretty decent amount of the time on turn three, and very, very consistently by turn four.
The Combo
- Have Protean Hulk enter the graveyard from the battlefield
- Using Hulk's graveyard trigger, get Body Double (copying Hulk) and Viscera Seer
- Sacrifice Body Double (copying Hulk) to Viscera Seer
- Using Body Double (compying Hulk)'s graveyard trigger, get Death Cultist and Reveillark
- Sacrifice Death Cultist to gain one life and have opponent lose one life
- Sacrifice Reveillark to Viscera Seer
- Using Reveillark's LTB trigger, return Body Double (copying Reveillark) and Death Cultist
- Sacrifice Death Cultist to gain one life and have opponent lose one life
- Sacrifice Body Double (copying reveillark) to Viscera Seer
- Using Body Double (copying Reveillark)'s LTB trigger, return Body Double (copying Reveillark) and Death Cultist, then wash, rinse and repeat.
I use Death Cultist over Mogg Fanatic because it gets around "you can't take damage" effects. Thanks WicKid52 for the great idea!
Cheaters
Through the Breach- Enables combo through mana acceleration
Footsteps of the Goryo- Enables combo through self-discard.
Combo Assembly
Faithless Looting- A great digging card in general, but also double as a way to bin Protean Hulk for Footsteps of the Goryo
Summoner's Pact- Another essential card for the deck. Gets Protean Hulk and can get me to Through the Breach mana through Simian Spirit Guide
Peer Through Depths- The newest addition to the deck, but the deck felt much smoother the first time I hit it. Gets everything I could ever need. Protection, mana boost, Hulk, Through the Breach/Footsteps of the Goryo, and ways of binning Hulk.
Other Utility
Birds of Paradise- Great turn one play, enabling most of my turn two wins. Worth playing green for.
Lotus Bloom- The main reason that turn four wins are so consistent. I can suspend one turn one and try to find ways to combo earlier, but if I can't, I'll just fall back on this for a turn four win.
Simian Spirit Guide- Oftens gets me to Through the Breach mana, is just a simple but all around great card for this deck.
Thoughtseize- Another great recent addition. Gets combo disruption out of their hand early, and bins Protean Hulk when I need it.
Conclusion
That's the deck! I hope the description was thorough enough. A sideboard and match-up section will be added soon. I hope that I can bring this deck to a more competitive level with your comments. There have already been many helpful suggestions, so thanks for that. Any suggestions or +1's are much appreciated. I'll leave you with the nut draw.
