Deck & Commander Strategies
Peter Parker // Amazing Spider-Man
Ramp into mid to large-sized creatures by using the websing mechanic to cheat them onto the battlefield after transformation, supported by spider token generation and vigilance for defense.
Gwen Stacy // Ghost-Spider
Utilize exile to play additional cards beyond the normal hand limit, gain +1/+1 counters through playing lands and spells from exile, and remove counters to exile more cards, creating a versatile and progressive board state.
Miles Morales // Ultimate Spider-Man
Deploy counters on creatures upon entering the battlefield and transform into Ultimate Spider-Man to double counters on all spiders and legendary creatures during attacks, enabling a powerful wide board and aggressive combat.
Spider-Man 2099
Ramp aggressively to overcome an initial casting restriction, then use damage triggers that activate when casting spells or playing lands from outside the hand, combined with vigilance and double strike for combat effectiveness.
