All of the Merlin cards give an ability when returned to hand, like the Merlin Crab which gives another character +3 strength when challenging, when they are played, and when they leave play (which can be in the same turn for a super boost), and Madam Min returns cards to hand when played
They have no issue easily pivoting to a grind strategy, falling back on Thrasios, Triton Hero and Seedborn Muse to pull ahead and win with an efficient combo finish.2023-12-21 Tana Tymna Protean HulkOUTDATEDTymna/Tana Hulk is a proactive archetype that cheats Protean Hulk into play using the former Shuffle Hulk package
But the cost of mana to reach the primary ability is very high, which is 12 mana in total
Huge letdown in my opinion
A transforming double-faced card enters the battlefield with its front face up by default, unless a spell or ability instructs you to put it onto the battlefield transformed or you cast it transformed, in which case it enters with its back face up
Add to that some nice lifegain and the option to cheat out nonland permanents and youve got a fun card to build around
