Hey, great primer; Thank you for putting this together! I was thinking, for an even more budget version you could use Blood Artist + Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Rendclaw Trow for the combo package. Also, what do you think about Apprentice Necromancer?Thanks again

what do you do if we were to draw mickey? just discard and reanimate?

Hey Wurmlover, if Mikaeus is in your hand when you start the hulk combo, the following line will solve that problem;

Protean Hulk Trigger Resolves -> Get Body Snatcher and Golgari Thug -> Body Snatcher triggers, discard Mikaeus to pay for it -> Sacrifice Golgari Thug -> Golgari Thug Triggers, putting Mikaeus on top of the deck -> Sacrifice Body Snatcher to reanimate Protean Hulk -> Sacrifice Protean Hulk -> Protean Hulk Trigger Resolves -> Get Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Walking Ballista -> Win

Keep in mind, this information can be found in the primer under the Hulk Lines->Hulk Piles section, hope that helps!

oh ok. that makes sense. I looked under the hill lines section and didn't find it, so thats the only reason I asked

Ever thought of Summoner's Pact

Phyrexian_plague_rider459, unfortunately, in this build of the deck, summoner's pact doesn't actually grab any combo pieces, because you have no consistent or cheap way to cheat protean hulk into play from your hand, so summoner's pact is more often than not, just a dead slot.
