Hulk Avenge You

Updated version of Suit Down deck

Hulk vs. Expert Venom Goblin

"Avenge Me!"

"Avenge Me!" is the new broken card in 2026. This ally upgrade helps any Avenger with a low handsize (who discards their hand at the end of turns) generate economy for a future turn. Slap this on Maria Hill and have her chump block during the villain phase to start your next player phase with 6 cards in hand or leave her in play for a future turn when when you need that +2 card draw - "Avenge Me!" gives a lot of flexibility. Since "Avenge Me!" requires the Avenger trait, Hulk wants to play Honorary Avenger on himself so Bruce gets the Avenger trait giving even more versatility being able to play "Avenge Me!" from both hero form and alter-ego.

Suit Up

This is still one of our main cards. Suit Up tutors an ally and upgrade to our hand. This is very powerful in combination with Sidekick and makes voltron easy to set up because we can grab the ally upgrade we want. However, with this deck we aren’t focusing on voltroning, but rather the ability to tutor an ally from the deck or discard pile. This in itself is insanely good. Suit Up says we can only get an upgrade that can be attached to that ally, but the upgrade we choose doesn’t have to be played.

Ally Upgrade - Clarity of Purpose & "Avenge Me!"

So the elephant in the room is the “ally” upgrades in this deck are not to actually buff the allies. Suit Up doesn’t specify the upgrade, just that it must be able to be attached to an ally. Clarity of Purpose is an upgrade that can be attached to an ally and is a mental resource. "Avenge Me!" just so happens to be another ally upgrade that we can tutor with Suit Up and slap on an ally when we want to invest in a future turn.

Moon Girl’s Suit

Moon Girl is arguably the best ally for Champion/Genius traited identities. She can draw us 3 cards in addition to her 2 THW 2 ATK statline helping us control the current board state. This makes her the prime target for Suit Up. Suit Up is an alter-ego action so we can only play it in Bruce Banner form. Moon Girl can only be played when our identity has the Champion or Genius trait, and Banner only has the Genius trait in alter-ego so this fits perfectly. Our standard sequence is to play Suit Up, grab Moon Girl with Clarity of Purpose, then play Avengers Mansion (or any other upgrade/support). Hulk has low economy so we want to draw into some resource cards but this lets us see cards in the deck and throw away what we don’t want. Being able to play a strong ally and powerful support during every alter-ego turn is big tempo for the player.

Professor X’s Suit

There’s a lot of flipping with this deck, but not many ways to control threat other than thwarting. In fact, we only have 1 source of confuse—Professor X. This is where Suit Up comes in again! We can tutor any ally so if we need to flip down to alter-ego to heal/etc, a copy of Suit Up is essentially having that confuse.

Mental Resources

Your typical Hulk wants physical resources, but with this deck we’re going half and half, true to character. Since Hulk’s identity specific cards are almost all physical resources, almost every card we add will be mental resources to even it out. We need mentals to pay for our key ally, Moon Girl. Luckily, Bruce Banner does have mental synergy with Banner’s Laboratory and Ingenuity. Currently, there is 1 upgrade in leadership/basic that we can target with Suit Up, be attached to Moon Girl and has a mental resource—Clarity of Purpose, so this is an auto-include for this deck.

Ally Selection

Moon Girl, Nick Fury and Maria Hill are S tier core set allies that give us draw power and are mental resources. Professor X has our confuse. Beast is an ally with a printed mental resource and has so much synergy with Hulk because Beast can tutor any resource card from deck or discard when he enters play, and Hulk is one of the few heroes with a triple resource, Limitless Strength.

Multiplayer

This deck was made primarily for true solo, but will absolutely pop off in multiplayer thanks to the easier access to alter-ego. To be a team player, Suit Up Maria Hill and give everyone extra card draw. In multiplayer, we can stay in alter-ego multiple turns in a row and recur Maria Hill back to back turns.

Conclusion

Hulk keeps getting better as the card pool expands! As an Avenger and Genius traited identity, he gets all the new trait locked buffs in the Civil War wave. Moon Girl powers up Champions/Geniuses and Suit Up being an alter-ego action synergizes perfectly with Moon Girl for Bruce because he needs to be in alter-ego anyways to play her. Hulk may not be the best recipient of this combo due to his lack of economy to play allies, but Suit Up is still a huge buff for him. Hulk’s already known to be a strong rush hero, if combining that with defeating expert Venom Goblin doesn’t make a hero viable I don’t know what is :)
