Reactive Rage [COH '25]

It's not easy being Green - people have dumped on Hulk for quite a while but there have been some truly fund decks crafted around smashing as the incredible hulk. I wanted to build a deck to bring to Con of Heroes that uses Hulk in his typical color - Green Protection.

This deck is all about defending and defending well - then smacking back on the villain with some powerful pushback.

Let's dig into this ally-less deck I'll have with me at the con!

Green Means Stop (You) The primary goal of this deck is to defend 1-2 times per round (maybe even more). Hulk can't hold cards in his hands. So instead we'll focus more on upgrades that can stick to the board. Indomitable has been around since the core set but allows Hulk to typically stop the villain attack against himself - and hopefully for another player at the Con.

I did include a few events Desperate Defense helps us get the most of our DEF stat (which can be buffed up to 5 with Armored Vest and Symbiote Suit maybe even higher with the Con of Heroes custom promo suit ;). Preemptive Strike lets us absorb a third attack if we need to using our large hit point pool.

Catch These Hands Hulk has always had problems with hand size. So it's time to catch these Big Hands and pump them up. I don't even know what that means but my kids say it, Old man hulk here... In this deck we use Symbiote Suit and Unflappable to typically shore up our 4 card hero hand size to one closer to 6. If you are feeling extra spice you can include Change of Fortune from the fuzzy elf pack and potential smack things down... oh but how you ask?

Smashback Guarantee This Hulk deck would be boring if Hulk just protec - instead Hulk also Smash the Problem! We will use cards like Counter-Punch and Dauntless to punch back on anything that dare attack us. Combined with Immovable Object we can actually get Hulk to retaliate 2 helping Change of Fortune trigger all the more often!

Counter-Punch really is amazing - with Boundless Rage an Symbiote Suit out we can defend for 5 then immediatly punch back for 5 (7 with retaliate 2) all for 0 cost... once we get set-up. Good thing this is a multiplayer deck!.

We want to make sure we have a high hitpoint total to keep Dauntless activated so the hitpoints from Symbiote Suit, Endurance, Honorary Avenger and Immovable Object all come into play. You can have up to 36 hitpoints! Take that 2 player Rhino!

Just to make sure we can keep out hitpoints high we include newer cards like "Come Get Me, Bub!" to heal us up and top it off with a tough card. Anticipation also means we can ready off that minion summon and swing for 3-5 ATK!

Finally we've included a new card Ready for a Fight so not only can we flip down safely. We stock our deck with extra physical resources and can absorb threat for other players flip downs by rerouting them into attacks against us.

No pain - no gain- get out their and smash folks!
