Legendary Creature — Human Spy Hero

Menace Whenever Black Widow deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile a nonland card. You may put a +1/+1 counter on Black Widow.

Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Black Widow, Super Spy is a sneaky evasion threat that turns combat damage into card advantage and mana generation. Every time she connects with a player, you're milling them while getting either a +1/+1 counter or a free spell cast—essentially turning her into a repeatable draw engine with menace protecting her in combat. The deck wants to push her through damage consistently (evasion, protective equipment, infect-like strategies) while loading your hand with opponents' best cards, then casting them for free or using the counter payoff to grow her into a lethal threat. You win through a mix of commander damage as she grows, swinging with stolen spells, and the natural pressure that comes from being forced to block her or take repeated mill damage.

Build around evasion and protection—cards like Captain America's Shield and Unstable Molecule Suit make her hard to block or kill, while equipment that doubles damage (like Mjölnir) accelerates your clock. The new Marvel set offers great synergies with Hero synergies and damage-doubling effects. Since you're casting exiled spells, include a few payoff cards that care about casting from exile or unconventional sources. Mana ramp and artifact synergies help you chain equipment and double up on damage output.

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive equipment like Sword of Fire and Ice; instead use Hawkeye's Bow, Vibranium Strike Gauntlets, and Iron Man Armor as cheap evasion and card-draw engines.
