Spider-Man, Web-Slinger

Spider-Man, Web-Slinger is a 3/3 legendary creature for {2}{W} with a web-slinging alternative cost of {W} — return a tapped creature you control to hand to cast it cheaply. This enables aggressive tempo plays and rewards tapping out attackers or utility creatures to recur ETB effects, making it a natural fit in blink/flicker and tempo shells that want to bounce their own creatures. As a vanilla 3/3 when cast normally at full cost, it's underwhelming without the web-slinging synergy; the card's entire value is in the aggressive {W} alternative cost, which requires a tapped creature on board.

• Web-slinging triggers by returning a tapped creature to hand at cast time, so it naturally chains with your own attackers post-combat — swing with a creature, then cast Spider-Man for {W} during second main to bounce that attacker and re-trigger its ETB next turn.

• Spider-Man himself is a 3/3 with no native evasion or abilities beyond web-slinging, so the card's power is almost entirely in the cost-reduction synergy with tapped creatures, not in his statline or type.

• In Brawl, where Spider-Man can be the commander, the web-slinging cost can be paid by tapping creatures via activated abilities (e.g., mana dorks) or via attackers, giving consistent {W} casts that circumvent the full {2}{W} cost.
