The Commander
When Peter Parker enters, create a 2/1 green Spider creature token with reach.
: Transform Peter Parker. Activate only as a sorcery.
Vigilance, reach
Each legendary spell you cast that's one or more colors has web-slinging . (You may cast a spell for its web-slinging cost if you also return a tapped creature you control to its owner's hand.)
Guide
Gameplan
Cast Peter Parker early, generate a Spider blocker, then transform him into a vigilant attacker once you have an engine going. The real payoff is the Amazing Spider-Man side: every legendary spell you cast gains web-slinging , letting you slam expensive legendary creatures and planeswalkers for a fixed three mana by bouncing a tapped creature you control. You snowball card and board advantage by recasting bounced legends and looping ETB value.
Strengths
- Massive cost reduction on legendary bombs, often turning 6-7 drops into 3-mana plays
- Built-in ETB token plus enables repeated ETB abuse via tapped-creature bounces
- Vigilance after transforming lets him attack and block with a Spider token wall
- Bant's deep legendary pool gives nearly endless web-slinging targets
Weaknesses
- Transform is sorcery-speed and costs three pips, slowing early tempo
- Web-slinging requires a tapped creature, so it can be awkward before you attack or have utility tappers
- Removal-heavy decks blunt him since he wants to commit creatures to the board
- No inherent protection; a cheap kill spell sets the whole engine back
Key Cards
- Aurelia, the Warleader — Off-color in pips but plenty of legends synergy; more on-point are Bant legends you can web-sling repeatedly for value.
- Roon of the Hidden Realm — Provides reliable blink to retrigger Peter Parker's ETB and other legendary enter triggers.
- Brago, King Eternal — Repeatable flicker engine that resets your legendary bodies for endless ETB value alongside web-slinging.
- Emiel the Blessed — On-demand flicker outlet that abuses cheap-to-cast legendary ETB creatures.
- Yarok, the Desecrated — Doubles every legendary creature ETB you web-sling back into play.
- Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait — A premium legendary draw engine that's cheap to deploy under web-slinging.
Upgrade Path
Tighten the curve around impactful legendary creatures and planeswalkers so web-slinging always has a target, and add flicker enablers (Brago, Emiel, Roon, Conjurer's Closet) to maximize ETB loops. Improve fixing with Bant duals and ramp like Smothering Tithe and Esper Sentinel to power out the engine, and slot in protection (Heroic Intervention, Teferi's Protection) to keep Peter alive.
