Commander: Shelob, Child of Ungoliant

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Shelob, Child of Ungoliant is a Golgari Spider-tribal value engine. The deck ramps hard, casts Shelob early, and uses her deathtouch and ward aura to turn Spiders into removal while her death-trigger makes Food copies of anything they kill. Token multipliers, Academy Manufactor, and Peregrin Took turn those Foods into extra cards, mana, and drain. The primary kill is a swarm of deathtouch Spiders plus Fynn's poison, with Rotwidow Pack and Mirkwood Bats draining the table as backup and Shelob herself as a 21-damage closer. There is no true hidden commander; Fynn and The Serpent Society are situational support cards in the 99. The deck is a midrange plan that controls the board through deathtouch and wins incrementally rather than through a compact combo.
