Deck overview

This Temur deck leverages Bruce Banner // The Incredible Hulk as both an early-game utility piece and an explosive one-turn combat finisher. By deploying Bruce on Turn 1 for {U}, the deck bypasses summoning sickness issues on later turns. The primary win condition revolves around combining The Incredible Hulk with Caltrops. Whenever Hulk attacks, Caltrops deals 1 damage to him, triggering his Enrage ability to untap him, grant a +1/+1 counter, and create an additional combat phase. Repeating this loop generates infinite combat phases and infinitely scaling trample damage to eliminate the table in a single turn. Supporting this core plan is a robust suite of on-curve ramp, low-cost hexproof and indestructible protection spells, and heavy beatdown backups like Koma, World-Eater and Hullbreaker Horror. While reliant on finding Caltrops to execute its fastest kill, the deck transitions smoothly into a resilient stompy midrange strategy when disrupted.
