Note: I didn't come up with the original Protean Hulk turn 0 win idea, but this is my take on it.

Disclaimer: I know that there is a 15-card sideboard limit, but this is a casual/troll deck (that happens to cost over $1000)

Second Disclaimer: Flash is not legal in legacy

Introduction

The moment I saw Protean Hulk, I knew that there was a way to break it. With a little research, I soon came across the Flash-Protean Hulk combo that wasn't legal in legacy. Of course, the vast majority of people (including me) aren't willing to pay some $1300 for a casual deck. So:

You might like this deck if you...

• Like paying almost a thousand bucks for a casual deck
• Enjoy winning on turn 0
• Always wanted to have infinite mana on turn 0
• Like fast games. As in really fast games.
• Are a dick and not afraid to show it
• Like to flex your riches

You might not like this deck if you...

• Like to play your decks more than once against each opponent
• Don't like to have your opponents concede
• Hate the dollar sign
• Are no fun

How to Play

Cards you should have in your hand for either a turn 0 win or infinite mana.

Flash

Gemstone Caverns

Protean Hulk or Summoner's Pact

Elvish Spirit Guide or Simian Spirit Guide

Cards to help get you the cards you need in your hand are Serum Powder, Street Wraith, and Gitaxian Probe.

Cards like Pact of Negation or a Force of Will and another blue card might be useful if you think your opponent can ruin your combo turn 0.

Turn 0 Win

Show

If you can choose to play or draw, always choose draw. (Do the rest all before your opponent's upkeep, so you can win on turn 0.)

Activate Gemstone Caverns's ability first, exiling any card except the other three key cards listed above from your hand, then exile one of the Spirit Guide's from your hand.

If you don't have Protean Hulk in your hand, use Summoner's Pact to fetch it, then tap Gemstone Caverns for . Cast Flash, targeting Protean Hulk, which immediately gets sacrificed.

After this, Protean Hulk's ability triggers. If you are playing 4x Disciple of the Vault, search for at least three of them. If you want to play it safe and you're using Marionette Master, just fetch one (put three +1/+1 counters on it), then also fetch all of your Shifting Walls and Phyrexian Marauders (eight in total).

Once the artifacts are put onto the battlefield, because X is zero, they will all automatically get sacrificed and leave the battlefield, and target opponent will lose 32 life before the first turn has started.

Now, good luck getting them to play you again...

Infinite Mana

Show

Make sure to remove all of the turn 0 win cards and fill them up with the infinite mana cards in your sideboard (except the eldrazi and such).

Do what you would do if you wanted to win on turn 0 up to sacrificing Protean Hulk. Search your library for Devoted Druid and Vizier of Remedies.

At the beginning of your upkeep, tap Devoted Druid for mana, then use its second ability and untap it. Because of Vizier of Remedies, no -1/-1 counters are placed on it. Repeat an arbitrarily large number of times, and pay the mana required for Summoner's Pact so you don't lose the game.

Now, there are several things you can do. If you have Gemstone Array, cast it, turning all your green mana into rainbow mana.

Now cast Gleemax turn one, or Helix Pinnacle if you aren't the fun type, create an infinite number of arbitrarily large wurm tokens with Wurmcalling, continually cast Whispers of the Muse, either getting a bunch of your cards or milling an opponent, or just save your mana and Spell Burst or Capsize any threats, then Capsize every single permanent your opponents control.

You decide to cast Spawnsire of Ulamog and use its last ability. As you watch your absurdly overboard army of massive eldrazi advance onto the battlefield, your opponent casts Stifle. You easily flick that aside with a Pact of Negation as your opponent cowers in terror. The eldrazi titans and all their brood are now under your control. Then you catch sight of something. An Amoeboid Changeling. AN AMOEBOID CHANGELING. AN AMOEBOID CHANGELING.

Of course you have your Mirror Gallery for some more fun.

There is always the chance that your opponent will Vandalblast your Gemstone Array. This will result in you failing to pay the required from Pact of Negation and losing the game. :/

Changes

I put in Marionette Master instead of Disciple of the Vault because it is more consistent: If you already have two disciples in your hand, your Protean Hulk will only be able to fetch two of them, and that would cause an opponent to lose 16 life due to the sacrificing of the eight artifacts. However, a single Marionette Master is game.

I also put in an infinite mana combo with Devoted Druid and Vizier of Remedies that generates infinite mana, just because I like having infinite mana.

Sideboard Explanation

The following cards are supposed to be added for the infinite mana: Capsize, Devoted Druid, Gemstone Array, Gleemax if casual, Helix Pinnacle, Vizier of Remedies, Whispers of the Muse, Spawnsire of Ulamog, Wurmcalling

These will be switched out for all of the following: Marionette Master, Phyrexian Marauder, Shifting Wall

Some of these may be switched out: Gitaxian Probe, Street Wraith, Force of Will

Keep the remaining in your sideboard.
