Well that's a change of pace! I can say, at last, I just had the most FUN game I've ever had with Hulk- solo at least. Beware, I haven't played all scenarios, I didn't say it was a sure win deck: it's a FUN Hulk deck - IMO anyway. And so far, it worked fine - better than expected.

So we're leaning on Hulk's incredible 18 HP, 3 DEF, and trying to win this. A few of the recent cards allow us to hope for the best.


New Goodies

Hard to Ignore is key here. Put ALL 3 INTO PLAY! When you defend with no DMG, remove 3 threaths. That's how you survive the main scheme. AND IT WORKS IF YOU DEFEND AGAINST A MINION, BTW.

Bait and Switch also helps in that regard: use it when youre high in hp, or can defend or mitigate DMG.

Multiple Man is THE CARD you want to mulligan HARD for: with all 3 into play, you can get rid of the starting side scheme (such as Breakin' & Takin') AND block 3 attacks. Simply amazing.


Defense plan

It's hard to plan as Hulk, since you throw away all you have at the end of turn. But with Armored Vest, you're 4 DEF.

Use Nerves of Steel to pay for Side Step, Never Back Down or Desperate Defense and get no DMG.

Then, of course, use Hard to Ignore and Unflappable.

Desperate Defense is a real good card here, allowing you to ready and attack on the next turn.

Imagine - I even got to revert to Banner 3 or 4 times WITHOUT TAKING ANY CHANCES AND LOSING THE GAME!!!

Of course you'll need to be patient and set up stuff: your upgrades are really essential to the plan working. AND play Multiple Man over all else!


For the first time in a long, long time, I feel that Hulk has something to offer that's fun and works well. I may just have gone lucky with my first few games, still I don't care: I've had FUN.

End of story. Good night!

Nice. I had the same thoughts when I saw Hard to Ignore. I think that card changes the whole protection aspect. I also knew that eventually Hulk's 3 defense would be the real key to his success. It's all coming together.

AMEN!! I'm thinking all heroes with high DEF could do the same. Only, soloing Hulk in a fun way and a chance of success is somewhat super satisfying! Hard to ignore is really good, still I'd say the MVP here has been Multiple man.

it looks fun, but i wonder.. if you had to replace Hard To Ignore with a different card, what would you do. i don't own that card..

@AltarofPan Hi! TBH it's hard to replace because no other cards will give you a similar effect in protection :( At this point, you may consider allies that could help block and thwart. Lockjaw, for instance, is often used from the graveyard for a 2 thw and a block, then rinse and repeat...

If you want to cling to protection, maybe consider Iron Fist for the stuns (prevents you from having to revert to AE to often), or Brother Voodoo to dig for useful cards and thwart. Just my two cents!
