Bruce Banner // The Incredible Hulk
Legendary Creature — Human Scientist Hero // Legendary Creature — Gamma Berserker Hero
What Does That Mean
This is a double-faced card that starts as Bruce Banner, a 2/3 creature with reach.
Whenever Bruce Banner takes damage, he gains an enrage counter.
Once he has three enrage counters, he transforms into The Incredible Hulk, a much larger creature with trample that deals damage to opponents whenever it becomes enraged.
The Hulk side continues to grow more powerful each time it takes damage.
Why Is That Important
You'd play this card in decks designed to deal damage to your own creatures or that naturally take damage through gameplay, effectively turning that damage into a growing threat.
It fits well in Gruul (red-green) aggro or midrange strategies that run cards like Embercleave or fight effects that damage creatures you control.
The relatively low initial investment (it costs just a few mana to cast Bruce Banner) combined with the potential to transform into a devastating endgame threat makes it valuable in limited formats, particularly in sets with strong enrage synergies or if your deck can reliably trigger damage multiple times per turn.
