Hulk Flash - Have Fun

Hulk Flash is recently the most discussed legacy deck. Due to an "uneratta" on the part of wizards, flash has become a one-card-combo. nearly. coupled with protean hulk, disciple and some 0/0 artifacts, it wins regularly on turn 1-2... with counterbackup. I've tested the deck this afternoon (only goldfish... don't wanna disturb the mws-community ;)) and I was shocked. Especially the post-FS build kicks ass... without any effort. you can mulligan to 4 and still win on turn 1.

I hope that this deck will be wrecked on the 1st of june, when the bannings will be updated. It let me think of the ole' affinity days in standard, back when ravager and skullclamp were best friends. But actually, I still don't know which card should be banned - Flash itself is the most obvious choice and it would solve the problem. On the other hand, the unerattaed flash would be a nice addition to the format. Of course not with all the pacts from FS and the protean-hulk-instant-win.
To ban protean hulk would kill the combo as well, leaving us with weaker combos like flash- academy rector - [humility, cheese stands alone, rancor, whatever...].

Unfortunately this change will ruin the GP in columbus, which doesnt affect me directly but the legacy community as a whole and all potential new legacy players, who'll get a wrong impression of the normally so diversivied format.

sad.

Edit: It would be great if flash - rector - the cheese stands alone / barren glory would be the future - I would laugh if I'd see -this- in a competive legacy deck :o
