Strategy
Spider-Slayer, Hatred Honed is a niche artifact creature that punches above its weight in the right meta. Its main ability turns it into a Spider assassin—whenever it deals damage to a Spider, that Spider dies immediately. This makes it a surgical answer to Spider-focused decks while also serving as a decent 2/1 body that pressures opponents early. The secondary ability lets you exile it from the graveyard to create flying Robot tokens, giving the deck a grindy late-game plan and repeated value even after Spider-Slayer dies.
Build this as an artifact-focused aggro-midrange deck that leverages colorless efficiency. Pack cheap evasive creatures, artifact synergies, and damage effects to pressure Spiders while you set up your token engine. Cards that abuse the graveyard (recursion, flashback) pair well with the exile ability, letting you turn Spider-Slayer into a repeatable token factory. Win through early aggression, token swarms, or attrition.

Budget Build
