Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"She Lobbs Spiders, or how to murder your opponents with their own wincons.\n\nThe game plan is pretty straightforward. \n\nWe're not playing a bunch of subpar spiders and calling it a typal. \nWe're not doing fancy graveyard things.\nWe are ramping like crazy into Shelob, then pinging/fighting/biting our opponent's draw engines and wincons. Look for strong passive/activated abilities, ETBs, draw engines, etc. Don't forget that food versions of things retain their CMC so cards like morbid curiosity can abuse that as well.\n\nDeathtouch and reach across support pieces should slow the game down enough to get to 10+ mana, and threatening people with spiders should make them leery of potential crack back in the mean time. Life gain from cracking foods should be kept in mind as well, I've won a number of games by cracking 3+ foods to hang in there when people thought I was already dead and/or didn't assign enough attackers to polish me off through the life gain. \n\nPrioritize draw pieces when picking what targets to snipe. This will keep the ramp and land drops flowing while feeding you your lower cmc spells so you can recast shelob when she is finally brought down. It also slows down their access to removal which is key. Your own draw spells are an option as well; if someone targets your harvester of souls, snipe it first - there are enough artifacts in the deck that generally artifact removal is already gone by the time you are dropping food tokens so it will likely stick around.\n\nFailing plan A, shelob is an 8/8 and various pieces like lure cards, trample sources, and small buffs all add up. You only need +3/0 to two-shot people, and fear of this will have them sacrificing half their board to a deathtouch+trampler that only needs to assign 1 damage to each creature. \n\nWhen it comes to high cmc kill on sight commanders, instead of running protection, I just run more ramp and draw so I can cast them through the removal. Protection spells are only good once the commander is on the board, ramp gets them there in the first place (and again after they are removed). \n\nBased on that, the ramp package is stacked. \nRamp on a stick like steve, springbloom druid, etc can be abused by recasting them with mimic vat and soul foundry, and potentially even killing them for food copies to repeat their abilities if there are no better targets on the field. \n\nI try to focus on ramp that sticks through board wipes (land ramp, artifact/enchantments), and especially ramp that comes with a blocker to buy time, with a few exceptions. \nGyre sage is just awesome with all the big butts spiders field, deathcap cultivator and leyline prowler can wear bite spells and bows while discouraging attacks, and devoted druid makes infinite mana if you can make it into a food. \nInspiring sanctuary is extremely underrated and will ramp you to the moon. Rhonas' monument is notable for winning me a lot of games through commander damage (trample and +2/2 per creature cast is... a lot... on a deathtouch commander). \n\nOur removal suite is mainly the \"lobb\" spells. Bows and staffs that tap to ping make your incidental deathtouchers into control pieces. Fight and bite spells either hit multiple targets to act as pseudo board clears, or grant other benefits; landfixing for bushwack, trample for cartouche of strength, hunter's talent, and nature's way. \n\nDeathtouch on silklash spider and spitting spider are pretty effective at keeping the skies clear, broken bond and binding of the old gods ramp while removing. Barroom brawl is just a fun card.\n\nWe run a handful of spiders to wear pinging equipment, but they are here mainly as blockers rather than as combat oriented wincons. Fynn is here mainly to eat removal early, it is very rare that you actually get a poison kill.\n\nOverall the deck is very consistent (you will ramp into shelob eventually), and very fun to play as you are constantly controlling the board/assessing threats, while also planning gnarly combinations of whatever your opponent's best creatures are. Sniping someone's etali and putting it under mimic vat, then pumping out 2 etali triggers per turn (one for the mimic token then another when you pick it off and make a food copy)... no kill like overkill.\n\nNote this list is budget-ish (there are a few pricier cards like thornbite staff that could be swapped out for similiar cards like wolfhunter's quiver), it could very easily be buffed up by adding some pricier options like arachnogenesis, or toned down a bit by removing the pricier cards.\n\n\n"}]}
