Rationale
Miles Morales enters as a cheap ETB counter-spreader, then transforms into a 4/3 first strike/haste threat that doubles counters on all Spiders and legendary creatures on attack — a premier counters-voltron and legendary-matters engine. The transform cost is pip-heavy ({3}{R}{G}{W}), making him best in a dedicated three-color shell; the attack trigger with counter doubling makes him a signature card in +1/+1 counters decks, especially alongside other legendary creatures. The Camouflage activated ability provides situational hexproof, useful for protecting him through removal windows.
Learnings (3)
The attack trigger on Ultimate Spider-Man doubles ALL kinds of counters (not just +1/+1), so it interacts with loyalty counters on planeswalkers, charge counters, and other counter types if any Spiders or legendaries carry them.

Miles Morales' front-face ETB grants +1/+1 counters to UP TO two creatures, meaning he provides immediate value even before transforming — he can buff himself and a partner on the same turn he enters.

The Camouflage ability makes him colorless until end of turn, which can matter for color-based removal (e.g., dodging Chroma or devotion effects), but also means color-locked protection spells in Naya colors won't shield him while camouflaged.
