<p>Hello, and welcome to the EDHREC review of the best enchantments in the Universes Beyond set <em>Marvel's Spider-Man</em>. And boy howdy, are there some <em>amazing</em> enchantments in this set, some that make for outright <em>spectacular</em> additions of the Commander cannon.</p>
<p>So with no further ado, let's take a look at some of the most <em>sensational</em> enchantments of this new set.</p>
<h2>Impostor Syndrome</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Impostor Syndrome"></div></div>
<p>At this point there's a lot of ways to make nonlegendary clones of your creatures. But what really makes <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Impostor Syndrome" href="#" target="_blank">Impostor Syndrome</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> stand out is the ability to make multiple clones of multiple creatures very quickly - particularly more expensive creatures.</p>
<p>Whether you're playing a Faerie deck, or some other iteration of a weenie list, or something filled with bigger, pricey bodies, the ability to drop it right before you declare attackers is game-changing.</p>
<p>You can smack someone in the face for a decent bit of damage and leave copies of those creatures back to block and keep your own face safe from an <em>ultimate</em> counterstrike.</p>
<p>I'm just glad design finally found a way to give <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm" href="#" target="_blank">Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> players the boost they needed.</p>
<h2>Parker Luck</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Parker Luck"></div></div>
<p>One of the accurate critiques of old-head Commander staple <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Phyrexian Arena" href="#" target="_blank">Phyrexian Arena</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is that you spend three mana to cast it, and it doesn't actually generate you any value for a full turn.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Parker Luck" href="#" target="_blank">Parker Luck</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> somewhat circumvents that problem by triggering at the beginning of the end step, whereupon you and target player each reveal the top card of your library, and each lose life equal to the mana value of the card the other person revealed before putting it into hand.</p>
<p>The trade-off here of course is you're giving an opponent a card, and you're risking losing a decent amount of life in the process.</p>
<p>Technically, you don't have to choose yourself as one of the targets, either, so there are conceivably situations where you could use this just to deal damage to two opponents. A situation exists where someone could use their Parker Luck to take out two low-life enemies. I'm not sure that's a reason to run it, but it's worth noting.</p>
<h2>Rent Is Due</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Rent Is Due"></div></div>
<p>The fact that you must tap two untapped creatures or Treasures to draw a card at your end step or sacrifice <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rent Is Due" href="#" target="_blank">Rent Is Due</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a steep cost to pay. Luckily this enchantment only costs a single white mana to cast.</p>
<p>Is it worth losing the utility of two creatures or Treasures to draw a single card each turn? Hard to say. I feel like this probably would have been safe even without the mandatory clause, but it's still another interesting attempt to conservatively give white more card draw options.</p>
<h2>Shadow of the Goblin</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Shadow of the Goblin"></div></div>
<p>Two mana to get a repeated rummage effect is fairly decent, particularly in a deck that views putting things into the yard as an upside, whether that's a reanimator shell or something that cares about discarding, like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Anje Falkenrath" href="#" target="_blank">Anje Falkenrath</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>The card text on <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Shadow of the Goblin" href="#" target="_blank">Shadow of the Goblin</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> doesn't end there, though, because whenever you cast a spell or play a land from anywhere other than your hand, you deal a damage to each opponent. In a list that cares about such things, or ones that care about dealing direct damage, like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin" href="#" target="_blank">Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, it winds up being a <em>superior</em> addition to your deck.</p>
<h2>Spider-Verse</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Spider-Verse"></div></div>
<p>The first line/paragraph of text on <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Spider-Verse" href="#" target="_blank">Spider-Verse</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is really only relevant to folks with Spider-People decks, or the couple of holdout <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thantis, the Warweaver" href="#" target="_blank">Thantis, the Warweaver</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> Spider kindred pilots out there.</p>
<p>The second paragraph, however, is where the <em>Magic</em> (pun intended) happens, copying the first spell you cast from anywhere other than your hand each turn, and if that spell is a permanent spell it gains haste.</p>
<p>Commanders like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Prosper, Tome-Bound" href="#" target="_blank">Prosper, Tome-Bound</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Inti, Seneschal of the Sun" href="#" target="_blank">Inti, Seneschal of the Sun</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> have a baked-in card advantage engine that exiles a card that would really make this enchantment shine, as with Shadow of the Goblin, but a lot of mono-red and Boros decks rely so heavily on impulse draw that Spider-Verse will generate a <em>spectacular</em> amount of value regardless.</p>
<h2>Web of Life and Destiny</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Web of Life and Destiny"></div></div>
<p>The convoke option on <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Web of Life and Destiny" href="#" target="_blank">Web of Life and Destiny</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> makes the eight mana casting cost a lot more palatable, especially in green, the color of creatures. It's not like green struggles to produce mana, but anything to help get it onto the field faster helps a lot.</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier in talking about Parker Luck, one of the issues with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Phyrexian Arena" href="#" target="_blank">Phyrexian Arena</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> in today's faster paced Commander environment is that you don't get your first draw for a full turn. Web of Life and Destiny triggers on your combat step, meaning as long as you cast it during your first main phase you can get a trigger the turn you cast it, which makes it feel way safer to use.</p>
<p>You'll still need a creature density in excess of twenty to consistently get a hit per trigger, but, again, green is the color of creatures, and most decks should just accidentally hit this threshold.</p>
<p>The downside here is the fact that decks filled with Hydras or other bodies with X in the casting cost, or other alternative costs, might not want something that stymies their ability to cast those spells in a way that doesn't make them come in and immediately die.</p>
<p>Still, that's a narrow slice of decks; almost any other creature-heavy green deck might really like what this enchantment adds to their deck's winding Web.</p>
<h2>With Great Power...</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="With Great Power..."></div></div>
<p>Four mana for an Aura with the words "enchanted creature gets +2/+2 for each Aura and Equipment attached to it" is a good enough rate by itself. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="With Great Power..." href="#" target="_blank">With Great Power...</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> doesn't need to say anything else to justify the cost, as that's enough to just one-shot most opponents in any well-built Aura and Equipment deck.</p>
<p>But those aren't the only words on this <em>astonishing</em> card, because why not add most of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ancestral Mask" href="#" target="_blank">Ancestral Mask</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> to <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Pariah" href="#" target="_blank">Pariah</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>?</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ancestral Mask"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Pariah"></div></div>
<p>Yes, in addition to heavily buffing whatever it has enchanted, all damage dealt to you is dealt to enchanted creature instead.</p>
<p>Now, will this occasionally be a downside, allowing an opponent to kill the enchanted creature via a combat swing? I mean, I guess. The other 99% of the time the enchanted creature will either be too large, have protection from a Sword of Spider and Man, or be indestructible, so it won't matter.</p>
<p>If you're playing a heavy Aura deck, the only reason not to run this is because you're bad at math.</p>
<h2>The Clone Saga</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="The Clone Saga"></div></div>
<p>The first chapter of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Clone Saga" href="#" target="_blank">The Clone Saga</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> surveils 3, something that's always useful. But the real payoff comes on chapter two, when you get to copy the next creature spell you cast this turn except, the token isn't legendary.</p>
<p>You do have to wait until the second chapter, but this lets you cast The Clone Saga underneath a commander, dropping it the turn before and then having the copy trigger available the next turn when you cast whatever's in your zone.</p>
<p>The third chapter has you choose a card name, and lets you draw a card whenever a creature with that name deals combat damage to a player this turn, meaning you can probably draw up to two cards when the copied creature and the original both deal damage.</p>
<p>There are some odd edge cases here, where that third chapter is extra strong in a deck running something like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rat Colony" href="#" target="_blank">Rat Colony</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> that may well have a lot more than two copies in play, but by and large this is another way to keep a copy of a legendary creature and get 1-2 card draw triggers the following turn. All of which seems reasonably priced at four mana, especially given how impactful most legendary creatures are in modern design.</p>
<h2>Enchanted to Meet You, Spider-Man</h2>
<p>That wraps up our coverage of the notable enchantment cards in <em>Marvel's Spider-Man</em>. There's some real bangers here, and I expect Imposter Syndrome, Web of Life and Destiny, and With Great Power . . . especially to be cards showing up in a ton of decks moving forward.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading, and remember, EDHREC your deck before you wreck your deck!</p>
