Spider Infect by user1039764

Format: Commander

Commander: Shelob, Child of Ungoliant

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Shelob, Child of Ungoliant leads a Golgari Spider build whose primary plan is to get Shelob down early, put Grafted Exoskeleton on her, and convert her 8/8 deathtouch body into a one-shot 10-poison kill against each opponent. Secondary paths lean on Fynn, the Fangbearer with deathtouch Spiders to stack poison counters, and on Rotwidow Pack or Shelob, Dread Weaver to turn a full graveyard into pressure and drain. The commander is the best attacker and the tribal engine: she gives every other Spider deathtouch and ward, and her death-trigger Food copies provide life. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built around Shelob's face, with Shelob, Dread Weaver as a flexible recursion piece.
