Deck & Commander Strategies
Norman Osborn
Connive based deck that grows stronger by dealing combat damage, drawing and discarding cards to put +1/+1 counters on Norman and eventually transforming him into a more powerful form.
Silk, Web Weaver
Utilizes the webslinging mechanic to return tapped creatures to hand and recast them, generating many 1/1 citizen tokens and leveraging enter-the-battlefield effects to build a wide board and buff creatures.
Eddie Brock
Focuses on deploying a mix of small and large creatures, supported by Venom, to create a powerful creature swarm that can apply pressure and dominate combat.
Spider-Man, Peter Parker
Life gain and protection-focused deck that uses instant-speed life gain triggers to put +1/+1 counters on creatures and grant indestructibility, enabling a strong, resilient board to close out the game.
