Abzan Hulk Piles

Here is my deck that I have been playing in paper that I have been trying to find an alternate hulk pile for.

It runs the Karmic Guide / Reveillark combo package, and I was wondering if anyone could think of another pile in my colors other than that or Mikeus, the Unhallowed/ Walking Ballista

There was a line using the following: Hermit Druid , Deathrite Shaman , and Mogis's Marauder , giving the other two haste, tapping them to activate Druid, running no basics so you flip your deck into the graveyard, sacrificing all of them to flashback Dread Return to reanimate Necrotic Ooze .

Then you use Wall of Roots ' ability on Ooze, Blighted Bat to give it haste, then activate Devoted Druid 's and Channeler Initiate 's abilities over and over for infinite mana, use Walking Ballista from the graveyard infinitely and win.

That is a gnarly line. Unfortunately that would make me almost entirely retool my deck for this combo. It is certainly something I will try to keep in mind for the future though

You can just Hermit Druid to win with that line in the deck

If you do that, I'd recommend Dregscape Zombie to have more Dread Return fodder btw.

Also, since you need a lot of cards in the yard, maybe run Phantasmagorian .

I recently made a deck using both the boonweaver and protean hulk combos. My biggest takeaway? Both are tools for assembling an actual combo, and its usually worthwhile to only include one. You end up dedicating all kinds of slots to making sure they go, Boonweaver needs Pattern of rebirth, Karmic guide, and Reveillark, and then you can assemble an infinite loop to kill off those if you have a Zulaport and Fiend Hunter or similar for 5 cards required at minimum for Boonweaver. Your protean includes Delver, and works to assemble whatever combo for 2 slots. I personally like Boonweaver because with Fiend hunter, it becomes an infinite combo loop by itself with a sac outlet, and then you can save slots by only running one more infinite out, like Sun Titan + Fiend Hunter , and another Zulaport type dork. The pieces have high individual quality, and by running more revive outlets like Delver you can recur them during the Boonweaver combo chain if they're already in play/GY
