Our goal is to have a turn one Hulk or a turn two with haste. Luckily, we’re in red which has a ton of fast mana. Green ramp too, duh. Still testing this out, mana fixing is the greatest challenge.\n\nTutors\nCaltrops is our main win con so we’re running as many artifact tutors as possible. We need very specific cards to win so we are investing in tutors far more than regular card draw.\n\nProtection\nSince our win con revolves completely around Caltrops we are going to need plenty of protection. We are running some redundancy but a single exile spell could completely shut us down . I personally prefer preventative measures like Hexing Squelcher or Cavern of Souls. Luckily we are in blue so we can include all the free counter spells as well.\n\nHaste/Flash\nAgain, this deck wants to go fast, haste and flash can be helpful. Hulk has pseudo haste if cast as Bruce the turn before. This is obviously risky but it may be a viable strat. We are only running a few pieces of redundancy but that’s because we are mostly investing in ramp and protection. It’s unlikely we will ever be able to drop Caltrops on a hasty turn one Hulk. We want to go fast but not at the risk of not protecting our win con. This isn’t Etali, we need to be able to attack to win.\n\nEvasion\nDon’t need it. Hulk has trample. We plan on smashing face on turn two. Even if one opponent can block and kill Hulk, we can always smash the other two opponents, further buffing Hulk. If we hit our other two opponents six times Hulk will be a 14/14 with 6 points of damage. Hopefully this will be enough . Deathtouching blockers are pretty rare in cEDH so I’m not too worried about getting shut down in that way.\n\nI’m still in the testing phases of this deck since the card hasn’t even been released yet but I anticipate that it will be a powerful contender. I’m especially excited about Hulk as a cEDH commander specifically since winning through combat damage is rare and generally not viable.\n"}]}
