Rationale
Spider-Man Noir is a 4/4 menace legendary for 5B that rewards solo attacks: the attacker gains a +1/+1 counter then you surveil X equal to its total counter count, creating a snowballing card-selection engine on a voltron-style threat. It fits best in black voltron or counters-voltron shells where a single buffed creature attacks repeatedly; the "attacks alone" condition actively punishes tokens-go-wide strategies and wide aggro boards that need to swing with multiple creatures.
Learnings (3)
The surveil X trigger scales exponentially — after just 3 solo attacks the creature has 3+ counters and you surveil 3+, making it a potent graveyard-fueling engine for self-mill or reanimator secondary plans.

Because the trigger requires attacking alone, equipment or auras that grant evasion (flying, unblockable, menace already built-in) are critical to ensure the solo attacker connects safely.

In black voltron Commander, this card functions as both a threat and a library filter engine, but the 'attacks alone' condition means any forced-blocker effect from opponents (e.g., Ghostly Prison taxing a single attacker) efficiently shuts down the entire loop.
