Rationale

2cmc 2/2 legendary human — draws a card whenever a Spider you control enters, once per turn. A niche spider-tribal draw engine; without meaningful spider tribal support in competitive Commander circles, she's a fringe commander/inclusion limited to casual spider-matters builds. The once-per-turn cap keeps her from being exploitable even with token generation.

Learnings (2)

  • Spider tribal has very few competitive payoffs in Commander; Mary Jane Watson is one of the only dedicated spider ETB draw engines, making her the de facto commander of any spider tribal build despite the tribe's shallow card pool.

  • The once-per-turn restriction prevents combo abuse with blink or mass spider token generation — e.g., creating 5 spider tokens in one turn still only draws 1 card.
