A counters-focused deck that buffs creatures and doubles counters upon transforming into Ultimate Spider-Man, aiming to establish a wide and resilient board state with creatures protected by hexproof and indestructibility.
Electro, Assaulting Battery
Storm-style combo deck that generates and retains large amounts of red mana, using spells like Seething Song and Reiterate to infinitely cast spells and deal damage directly to opponents.
Eddie Brock // Venom, Lethal Protector
Graveyard recursion and sacrifice deck that returns small creatures to the battlefield and uses sacrifice triggers upon attacking to draw cards and cheat out permanents, with a late-game mass reanimation finisher.
