Of course, the deck's big draw is the Protean Hulk combo.

Footstep Hulk felt absurd in the good matchups, like it was hard to lose, but things are much more difficult in the bad matchups (or if our opponent draws graveyard hate) because we're mostly left trying to win by hard-casting underpowered combo pieces or overcosted threats. The deck is powerful thanks to its game-ending Turn 3 combo potential and free wins from reanimating Archon of Cruelty, but it's also disruptable, especially by graveyard hate but also by counters.

Record-wise, we finished 3-2 with Footsteps Hulk, which I think is pretty representative of the deck.

Is Protean Hulk combo competitive? Can we execute it without timing out on Magic Online? Let's get to the video and find out on today's Much Abrew About Nothing! As such, we're heading to Modern today to see if we can win some games with Magic's buffest beast by comboing off with Protean Hulk. This normally is a drawback, but it's an upside in our deck because we need our Protean Hulk to die to win the game, which lets us tutor up a convoluted but also game-ending chain of creatures. While we don't have anything nearly as degenerate as Flash to work with in Modern, we can do something very similar from the graveyard with the help of Footsteps of the Goryo, which not only reanimates a creature for just three mana but also makes us sacrifice it on our end step. Protean Hulk is one of the most infamous combo pieces in Magic's history thanks to its interaction with Flash, which leads to such easy Turn 1 kills that it was banned in Legacy after about a week of existence. Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing.
