How Symbiote Spider-Man decks play in EDH
Symbiote Spider-Man is a Dimir commander in blue and black costing 2U/B, and its legendary creature - symbiote spider hero line shapes the whole deck around it. It cares about +1/+1 counters, so counter-doubling effects and creatures that grow on their own carry the deck. It works out of the graveyard, so self-mill and cheap recursion effectively become extra card advantage. The cards below are the ones Symbiote Spider-Man decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
