Mister Negative
Utilizes life total swapping to gain massive card draw and repeatedly blink creatures with enter-the-battlefield abilities, generating infinite value and controlling the board.
Gwen Stacy // Ghost-Spider
Builds card advantage by exiling cards and casting spells from multiple zones, then uses that advantage to burn opponents and assemble a resilient board.
Peter Parker // Amazing Spider-Man
Focuses on ramping with mana creatures and bouncing them to hand via webslinging to cheat out large, powerful legendary creatures and overwhelm opponents.
Norman Osborn // Green Goblin
Leverages discard synergy and the mayhem mechanic to reduce costs of spells, digging through the deck to deploy threats cheaply and capitalize on graveyard interactions.
