What a Hulk, Gamma Goliath deck needs

Plays as mana sink. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• counter doublers and proliferate (it grows only itself with +1/+1 counters)
• power-up creatures (it rewards the mechanic by name)
• mana rocks and dorks beyond the curve (its ability turns spare mana into value)

The Hulk, Gamma Goliath deck plan

The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.

• 17× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 11× Mana from a NONLAND permanent — a commander that doubles nonland mana gets nothing from lands
• 6× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
• 7× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal

Best cards for Hulk, Gamma Goliath

Ranked by an engine that reads what each card does — its real cost, its delay and how reliably it works — rather than counting how often other people play it.
