The Ultimate Guide to the Best Marvel's Spider-Man Commanders in MTG

The Marvel's Spider-Man set has swung into Magic: The Gathering, web-slinging a dizzying array of new Commander options. As the first full-fledged Marvel set, and a late-year release, expectations are high. Surprisingly, there are no preconstructed spider man commander decks, meaning you'll have to build your own! To save you time and energy, we've compiled a list of the top 10 best spider man commanders from the mtg spider man set, offering insights into their unique abilities and potential strategies.

#10: Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade: The MTG Colorless Commander Option

Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade is the only colorless legendary creature in the Marvel's Spider-Man set, immediately setting it apart. This mtg colorless commander allows you to place a +1/+1 counter on each artifact and vehicle you control. You can also remove counters from your artifacts to draw cards, offering powerful card advantage. While building a colorless deck presents unique challenges, Iron Spider Commander provides a strong foundation, making it a compelling choice for players looking to break the mold. Think of it as a souped-up Steel Overseer, but for your artifacts and vehicles!

#9: J. Jonah Jameson: Exposing Menace in Mono-Red

For flavorful fun, look no further than J. Jonah Jameson MTG. This card lets you suspect creatures as they enter the battlefield. Suspected creatures can’t block but gain menace, and attacking with a creature with menace creates a Treasure token. With roughly 150 mono-red cards boasting menace, you can build a surprisingly potent and aggressive mono red menace deck, all while channeling J. Jonah Jameson's relentless pursuit of Spider-Man.

#8: Spider-Ham, Peter Porker: The Bloomburrow Commander

Spider Ham Commander is pure, unadulterated fun. Upon entering the battlefield, he creates a Food token. More importantly, he gives +1/+1 to a frankly ridiculous number of creature types including Spiders, Boars, Bats, Bears, Birds, Cats, Dogs, Frogs, Jackals, Lizards, Mice, Otters, Rabbits, Raccoons, Rats, Squirrels, Turtles, and Wolves! Essentially, he buffs almost every creature type from Bloomburrow Commander, leading to some wonderfully chaotic and unexpected board states.

#7: Mister Negative: A Risky Life Exchange

Mister Negative Commander offers a truly unique ability. At seven mana, you can exchange your life total with an opponent. If you lose life this way, you draw that many cards. This ability, especially in the command zone, becomes incredibly potent when combined with cards like Eldrazi Displacer Combo and Teleportation Circle. Don't forget, gaining life through the exchange triggers lifegain effects, further amplifying his potential.

#6: Cosmic Spider-Man: The Five-Color Option

Cosmic Spider Man serves as the default five color commander in the Marvel's Spider-Man set. He grants all your Spiders flying, first strike, trample, lifelink, and haste until the end of the turn. While the effect is powerful, it can feel a little straightforward for a five-color Commander. However, Cosmic Spider-Man does allow you to play every card from the entire set, which is a huge draw for many players eager to explore all the new spider man magic cards.

#5: Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer: A Mono-White Powerhouse

Despite its demanding mana cost, Anti Venom Commander can be a truly formidable commander. For five mana, he returns a creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield (as long as Anti-Venom was cast), prevents all damage to himself, and gains that many +1/+1 counters. This is arguably one of the strongest Mono-White commanders in recent memory, especially when paired with "With Great Power..." for added synergy.

#4: Gwen Stacy // Ghost-Spider: Exile Advantage

Gwen Stacy Ghost Spider is a double-sided card with a suite of compelling abilities. As Gwen Stacy, she exiles the top card of your library, allowing you to play it as long as you control her. For five mana, you can flip her into Ghost-Spider, who gains a +1/+1 counter whenever you play a land or cast a spell from exile. You can also remove two counters to exile the top card of your library and play it this turn. Gwen offers powerful card advantage and fits well within the burgeoning exile-focused archetype.

#3: Morlun, Devourer of Spiders: Scaling Threat

Morlun, Devourer of Spiders boasts two potent abilities. He enters with X +1/+1 counters, scaling his power based on when you cast him. He then deals X damage to an opponent upon entering, also gaining you life thanks to lifelink. Furthermore, Morlun Devourer Spiders is a Vampire, fitting seamlessly into the popular Vampire Kindred strategy in Commander. This card is far more impactful than it initially appears.

#2: Electro, Assaulting Battery: Spellslinger Overload

Electro Assaulting Battery is one of the most talked-about marvel mtg commanders, thanks to its lengthy text box. Electro ensures you don't lose red mana as steps and phases end, and grants you an additional red mana for each instant or sorcery you cast. If that wasn't enough, he deals X damage to a target player when he leaves the battlefield, provided you pay X mana. Given the popularity of spellslinger commander deck, Electro is poised to become a format staple.

#1: Gwenom, Remorseless: Bolas's Citadel on a Commander

If you're a fan of Bolas's Citadel, Gwenom Remorseless MTG is the Commander for you. She allows you to look at the top card of your library at any time and cast cards from the top of your library by paying life equal to their mana cost instead of paying their mana cost. While you need to attack with Gwenom to unlock this potential, this card is expected to see significant play upon the spider man set review. For a bolas citadel commander, you cannot go wrong.

We hope this marvel commander review has helped you navigate the exciting new marvel mtg commanders. Whether you are building an iron spider commander deck, or are brewing with new mtg commanders, there is something for everyone in this set of marvel spider man commander cards.
