General [SPM] Marvel's Spider-Man

I read a wiki page, but that seems beside the point.
In my opinion they are iconic. They shaped the entire universe. They Marvel’s version of the forces that created everything. They either came before the Big Bang or right after.
Another thing is that they are not just some throw away idea in a fantasy setting like we see with many Magic sets like Ixalan’s sun inside the planet’s core or smth like that. No the stories keep coming back to the six infinity gems or stones.
I would put them a tier below The One Ring in terms of iconic and importance. Probably on par with Urza, Bolas, Phyrexia and The Eldrazi. They are on par with Krypton and Superman’s Fortress imo. They are for sure above Harry Potter The Elder Wand.
All this is my opinion. I think you can find hundreds of stories with the infinity stones counting all media.
This is one of the rare Spiderman cards that caught my attention. It's a protection spell, but can also be a tricky buff spell. Maybe you Earthquake for the win? Or go bigger. Walking Ballista probably does something neat too!

looks like a trap, and one that my drafters will fall into
...will test
I love being singleton (with my one exception) and I have a big Cube. So I'll take a 4th Terramorphic Expanse. I wonder how many of these I'd run? Probably 7, so 1 in 100 cards?
I think this is really good. Way too much Spider-Man flavor, but I like both the base price and the web-slinging is seriously sweet here.

I am so confused by this set's digital version having Sliver art in it. What on earth?

no clue who this guy is, but it's kind of a cool card - interesting to have a threat that doesn't die to sorcery-speed removal slash a weird Wilderness Reclamation Rampant Growth thing
The thing is that I like Imposing Sovereign (mostly due to nostalgia) and don't care one whit about Spider-Woman. Who the fuck is this lady? What's a "venom blast", and why is it represented by tapping stuff down as it comes into play?
It'd be great if there was anything to tie that together thematically, but I guess if I knew I'd be afraid of the card. Thanks for telling me that much, flavortext!

- Easier to cast because of hybrid.
- Better stats because 2 toughness.
- Better abilities because of flying.
- Better abilities because of “artifacts”.
- Better creature types because of Spider Hero.
- No comparable downsides from a mechanical perspective.
It outdid I’ll Quench Ya!!

This is human, unlike Dire City Underrat, and it's got two toughness and is a party member while still being an outlaw, unlike Dire Fleet Hoarder. A lot of words for not a lot of actually strictly better, but I thought it was interesting! Hoarder still has a home for the Admiral Beckett Brass lovers of the world - which isn't me but I do respect her style - but, in general, better.
I think I like this saying "3 or less" more than "the amount of excess damage dealt". Either way, it's interesting - a little sad it says "noncreature", honestly, I assume the Rhino would smash up a Mechanical Mobster... but it's interesting!
A red Sleight of Hand! With other upside! If nobody else, I bet @MilesOfficial will love this. And probably me. I'm a fan now, but we'll see if that sticks when I play with it versus something like Opera Love Song
For the one person playing Jace's Ingenuity, I think you should upgrade.
Heroes' Hangout is my pick for card of the set so far, without the full spoiler. But we're getting that in a few days, so we'll see.
oh, forgot this guy:

I love Alpine Guides in theory, though I've never found one at the high power level I want. This is not that one either, but I think between this and Zell Dincht it's nice that they're doing more monored lands-matter stuff lately.

You couldn't be more right, maybe my favorite card of the set so far. I really like how you get until the end of your next turn, so it really does compare reasonably well with Opera Love Song (but I will be playing both for sure).
The Patrol Night ability might only be used 10-20% of the time, but it's pretty fairly costed, and makes blocking a huge pain for your opponent. Just a ton of flexibility here for one mana.
This is a crazy design. Is it good? Kind of?? Maybe?? I like the opponent only getting 1 mana if they do it first.
Common legends are...interesting. This one having both Flash and Mayhem is almost compelling, I just wish I got more than a Wind Drake for 1 mana with the Mayhem. Reminds me of a slightly worse Bone Picker, a card I really like but never sticks in my Cube longer than a draft or two.
