The Commander

When Miles Morales enters, put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to two target creatures.

{3} {R} {G} {W} : Transform Miles Morales. Activate only as a sorcery.

First strike, haste

Camouflage — {2} : Put a +1/+1 counter on Ultimate Spider-Man. He gains hexproof and becomes colorless until end of turn.

Whenever you attack, double the number of each kind of counter on each Spider and legendary creature you control.

Guide

Gameplan

Cast Miles Morales for 2, drop counters on your team, then flip into Ultimate Spider-Man (a 4/4 with first strike/haste) and start swinging. Once flipped, every attack doubles all counters on your Spiders and legendary creatures, so you build a counter engine and snowball commander damage or a wide board into lethal swings in a single combat.

Strengths

Cheap two-mana commander that immediately impacts the board with counters
Counter-doubling on attack scales exponentially and can create one-shot kills
Camouflage gives the flipped side hexproof, protecting your win engine from removal
Naya colors offer the deepest +1/+1 counter and go-wide support in the format

Weaknesses

Needs to flip (a 6-mana sorcery-speed activation) before the engine comes online
Doubling does nothing if Ultimate Spider-Man is removed before combat or with counters wiped
Vulnerable to board wipes that erase your counter investment
Relies on connecting in combat, so fogs, blockers, and pillow-fort effects slow it down

Key Cards

Hardened Scales — Multiplies every counter you place, accelerating how fast the doubling engine snowballs.
Doubling Season — Doubles counters as they enter, stacking massively with the attack-trigger doubling.
The Ozolith — Banks all your counters through board wipes so removal on your team doesn't reset the engine.
Branching Evolution — Another counter doubler that compounds with Miles's attack trigger for explosive growth.
Trample enablers like Rancor — Ensures your enormous counter-laden attackers convert into actual damage through chump blockers.
Inkshield — Protects your board and punishes attackers, buying time to set up the flip and swing.

Upgrade Path

Add more counter doublers (Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Doubling Season) and protection like Heroic Intervention and The Ozolith to insulate the engine from wraths. Prioritize trample, evasion, and extra-combat effects (Aggravated Assault, Combat Celebrant) so each doubling actually closes the game. Tighten the mana base with fast Naya fixing and cheap ramp to flip Miles ahead of schedule.

Go-Wide Aggro — Counter all your creatures, especially Spiders and legends, then double them across a wide board.
Tribal Spiders — The attack trigger specifically rewards a Spider subtheme with stacked counters.
