Blaster Hulk enters and immediately flings direct damage at any target equal to its power, stapling a Lightning Bolt-style punch onto a body that scales with your artifact and creature count. The six-mana ask is steep, but in Satya, Aetherflux Genius decks that blink or copy it repeatedly, that triggered damage stacks into a legitimate win condition.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Satya, Aetherflux Genius
Satya, Aetherflux Genius creates attacking token copies of Blaster Hulk each combat, meaning every swing re-triggers the damage ability before the token exiles — turning a single copy of Blaster Hulk into a recurring burn engine that scales with every artifact on your board.
Dr. Madison Li
Dr. Madison Li rewards artifact-dense builds, and Blaster Hulk slots in as a payoff that does double duty: it's a sizable body that advances the artifact count and shoots something the moment it arrives.
Saheeli, Radiant Creator
Saheeli, Radiant Creator's -7 floods the board with copies of your best artifact creatures, and every Blaster Hulk facsimile that enters fires off its damage trigger — making a single original copy multiply into a board-wide damage burst.
Liberty Prime, Recharged
Liberty Prime, Recharged plays in a high-artifact, high-power-stat shell where Blaster Hulk's enters-the-battlefield damage scales to respectable numbers and contributes to the artifact count Liberty Prime, Recharged cares about.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Blaster Hulk is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's a Commander card through and through — the effect is built for repetition, not raw efficiency. In Legacy and Vintage, a six-mana creature that deals damage equal to its power once on entry doesn't compete with what those formats are doing on turns two and three. Commander is where Blaster Hulk earns its slot: artifact synergy decks can inflate its power substantially, and commanders that blink, copy, or recur it transform one trigger into a win condition.

Price Context
Current price
$0.30 bulk tier
At $0.30, Blaster Hulk is firmly bulk — it costs less than a sleeve and is easy to pick up in any trade binder. Bulk rares with narrow homes rarely climb, so treat this as a cheap pickup for the decks that want it, not a spec.
