Spider-Woman, Stunning Savior

Gameplan

Spider-Woman lands turn 2 and immediately taxes your opponents' development by forcing all their artifacts and creatures into play tapped, neutralizing blockers and disrupting ramp/mana rocks. From there you play a tempo-stax game—stacking lock pieces and attacking through opponents who can never present untapped defenses—while building toward a wide or evasive board that closes the game.

Key Cards

• Authority of the Consuls — Stacks the tapped-on-entry lock and adds lifegain plus scry, doubling down on the tempo plan.
• Blind Obedience — Tapped-on-entry redundancy with extort, punishing opponents who try to rebuild.
• Winter Orb — Opponents enter tapped and can barely untap, creating a near-total stax lock while you build a board.
• Static Orb — With Spider-Woman, opposing creatures and artifacts hit play tapped and stay that way, hard-locking defenses.
• Stasis — Turns the tapped-entry effect into a soft prison where opponents' boards never come online.
• Smothering Tithe — Generates massive mana to fuel protection, counters, and the next threat in an attrition shell.
• Swords to Plowshares — Premier cheap removal to clear the one blocker or threat that slips past the tax.
• Brave the Sands — Vigilance lets your attackers stay back as the only untapped blockers on the board.

Upgrade Path

Lean fully into the lock by adding non-untap stax (Winter Orb, Static Orb, Stasis, Smokestack) and ramp that ignores it (Smothering Tithe, fast mana rocks) so you stay ahead of the prison. Tighten the curve with cheap interaction (Swords to Plowshares, Mana Drain, Cyclonic Rift) to protect Spider-Woman and reset problem boards. Round out with efficient evasive threats or a token/anthem package so you can actually close once the table is locked down.
