    What about including Hooded Blightfang? A 1/4 Snake with: "Deadthtouch// Whenever a cxreature you control with deathtouch attacs, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. // Whenever a creature you control sith deadthtouch deals damage to a planeswalker, destroy that planeswalker"

    Built a Shelob deck for my Fiancé for Christmas this year to introduce them further into the world of MTG. So happy to see this vid to know I was heading in the right direction. Super helpful!!! Also kicking myself knowing how much my Jeweled Lotus' are worth today since I last paused playing the game. Still though, their not for sell. Thanks for the awesome channel.

    I woukd like to also have everyone keep in mind Shelob will make the food of your own creature add devoted Druid and a way to give flying by equipment and now you have infinite green mana just some other options to use Shelob’s ability. assault formation is a good include into any spider deck allowing your spider to use toughness to deal combat damage

    • @rey_nemaattori
      @rey_nemaattori ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Why would the food token need flying?
      It's not a creature, it can have millions of -1/-1 counters on it.
      The only thing you need to do is ping one damage to it or have the druid fight one of your own spiders and you have infinite mana already.

    I started playing MTG back in 2012, spiders are what got me into it. Back then there wasn't much but I remember buying a lot on ebay that came with a playset of at least 10 different spiders (these were my first cards/deck). I've always played spiders in some way shape or form ever since (knowing they weren't good) and when Ishkanah came out I was so happy to have a legendary spider. Comboing her with Ashnod's Altar and Nim Deathmantle to wipe the table with her A.A. has to be the most satisfying win for me. I was so upset with Thantis being non-spider centered and Arasta being monogreen, then another Ishkanah was mad only to be exclusive on MTG Arena...smh (Was also hoping Lolth was going to be a creature but 🤷‍♂). I started settling for insects since they've been getting love lately but now we finally have a good spider commander that actually has a fun thematic playstyle. I already have most of everything I needed to make her and bought some other stuff to go in. Zask, Skittering Swarmlord will have to wait now lol

    I would add Deadly Dispute or any of the Village Rite effects that let you sac artifacts rather than pure Village Rites since the food tokens you create from Shelob are all artifacts that you may want to sac instead of a creature that you need.
