What a Madame Web, Clairvoyant deck needs
Plays as spider typal. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- a dense deck of what it plays from the top, and top-deck manipulation (scry, Sensei's Top) to line it up
- self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
- spider creatures (its text counts them)
- a wide board that attacks every turn (the trigger fires on the attack)
