Strategy
Spinneret and Spiderling is a go-wide Spider commander that rewards you for swinging with multiple creatures. Your gameplan is to build a critical mass of Spiders, then attack en masse to trigger both the +1/+1 pump and card advantage from dealing damage. The pump effect makes your whole team bigger each turn, snowballing into lethal, while the damage trigger gives you a Chandra's Incinerator-style effect that fuels card selection and access to extra resources.
You'll want a mix of token-generating Spiders and enter-the-battlefield creatures that build your army quickly. Cards like Shelob, Child of Ungoliant and Arachnogenesis create multiple blockers and attackers, while one-mana Spiders like Spider Spawning or Ferns of the Furth Holt help you hit that two-Spider threshold early. Red's natural ramp and burn spells support both the aggression and utility of the deck, letting you push through blockers and finish off opponents once your army is big enough.
