Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"I have since revamped this deck to better handle most situations. Between multiple graveyard returns and ways of swarming the field I actually found that dealing damage based on amount of spiders alone can be quite handy. Most opponents have to think twice before sacrificing a creature to become food as there are a lot of abilities the deck can make use of from other players. Definitely a lot of fun and now I implemented ways to make use of food tokens that do not have any abilities. Commander is definitely your bread and butter and a massive target for other players. I’ve added ways to protect Shelob or bring her back from the graveyard. I also love the hidden combo of using the bow to kill Shelob so you get a food token copy of her. This deck is a monster in 1v1 and can be a menace in a group. \n"}]}
