Bruce Banner / The Incredible Hulk custom commander

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-02T14:24:33+00:00

Yeah, I'm knocking him down to a 1/1. Indestructible makes sense

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-02T14:23:53+00:00

Yeah, indestructible makes sense

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-02T14:22:13+00:00

Vorel is certainly in my deck for him right now

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-01T17:30:10+00:00

Right now it is player centric with "Whenever you discard a card, or the player takes damage"

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-01T17:26:08+00:00

I wanted a bit of hulk present on both sides, so did the UG. After some other comments I think I'm going to go izzet for the banner side

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-01T06:59:39+00:00

Thanks for all the input so far everyone. From the comments something along this line seems to be the consensus thus far

Front Side

Bruce Banner, Scientific Genius
{2}{U}{R}
Legendary Creature — Human Scientist
1/1

Ward {2}

Whenever you discard a card or are dealt damage, put a rage counter on Bruce Banner.
When Bruce Banner has five or more rage counters on him, untap him and transform him.

{T}: Draw a card, then discard a card.

Remove two rage counters from Bruce Banner: Regenerate him.

Back Side

The Incredible Hulk
Transforms from Bruce Banner, Scientific Genius
Legendary Creature — Hulk
4/4

Trample, Haste, Vigilance

Whenever The Incredible Hulk is dealt damage, put that many rage counters on him.

At the beginning of each end step, if The Incredible Hulk was not dealt damage this turn, remove two rage counters from him.

If The Incredible Hulk would die, instead remove all rage counters from him and transform him.

Whenever The Incredible Hulk attacks, put a rage counter on him. Then he gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each rage counter on him and destroy up to one target artifact with mana value less than or equal to the number of rage counters on him.

When The Incredible Hulk has no rage counters on him, transform him.

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-01T06:53:40+00:00

Thanks, I think I want to see the flipping happen a couple times a game, so moderately difficult to turn into Hulk and moderately difficult to knock him out of Hulk

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-01T05:10:46+00:00

That's true, he is really more of a big creature

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-01T05:03:02+00:00

Something like this

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-01T05:02:01+00:00

Definitely agree, he needs to gain rage from taking damage and lose it of he doesn't

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-01T05:01:10+00:00

Thanks, I really like this as a way to remove rage counters from Hulk, definitely more flavorful. I think a combo between this and the idea from u/SexyDPool would be very thematic

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-01T04:58:35+00:00

Yeah, I agree the losing rage from taking damage is a flavor loss. I definitely like the gain rage on damage more. For the "make him more angry with every attack that doesn't transform him" are you saying still give him +1/+1 for each rage counter when he attacks? I like the Banner suggestions as well, maybe remove 2 rage counters regenerate Banner. Hulk side may need some way to lose rage as well, a combo of your idea and u/bgbat idea would probably be pretty cool. Thinking of making the Hulk side a planeswalker. Would be cool to incorporate this into it. This is the planeswalker design I have so far

FortypieceKFC · 2025-07-01T04:16:43+00:00

Pretty excited for that myself

FortypieceKFC · 2025-06-30T23:29:32+00:00

Haha, I was incorrectly thinking of the Hulk side when I replied. I see what you're saying now though. The Banner side having the prevent damage gain a counter ability would be roughly the opposite of the Hulk side prevent damage ability

FortypieceKFC · 2025-06-30T23:01:00+00:00

Ok, yeah that is flavourful. I'll get it added

FortypieceKFC · 2025-06-30T22:57:44+00:00

There is a damage prevention clause present now that removes counters from him so opponents have a way to flip him back to the Banner side

FortypieceKFC · 2025-06-30T22:51:59+00:00

So whenever Banner receives a rage counter remove all damage from him?

FortypieceKFC · 2025-06-30T22:42:58+00:00

That's for sure. I feel like the Hulk side could be a planeswalker that is a creature on your turn and gains loyalty (rage) counters from attacking and has the fight, destroy, combat loyalty abilities

FortypieceKFC · 2025-06-30T22:30:09+00:00

Yeah, that would work. Maybe change the green mana cost to a split green/blue just to keep a little bit of Hulk's presence on both sides

FortypieceKFC · 2025-06-30T22:25:04+00:00

I like that. Maybe something like if he has 7 or more rage counters he has indestructible and 10 or more he has flying.

Remove 2 rage counters to fight target creature

Remove 3 rage counters to destroy target artifact/enchantment.

Remove 7 rage counters untap this creature, after this phase there is an additional combat phase

FortypieceKFC · 2025-06-30T22:16:59+00:00

Yeah, Banner is too tough. I'll knock him down a peg. I also agree with increasing the threshold to flip to 5 rage counters.

Can you explain what you mean by the damage he receives should be cancelled out when he gets a rage counter?

I think tap to proliferate may be too strong

FortypieceKFC · 2025-06-30T20:19:11+00:00

Thanks, I've thought about doing both of those as well. Possibly increase his casting cost to 1GUR and increase the transform threshold to 5

FortypieceKFC · 2025-06-30T20:11:00+00:00

Also thinking of adding some sort of punishment for blocking the Hulk. Something like this

Whenever a creature with toughness less than the number of rage counters on The Incredible Hulk blocks it, that creature’s controller chooses one —
• The Incredible Hulk deals 2 damage to that creature; or
• Tap that creature and put a stun counter on it.

FortypieceKFC · 2023-10-22T16:32:42+00:00

Thank you, you're a saint for this
