Rationale

4cmc 2/3 with double strike, haste, and an attack trigger that blanks one blocker — effectively making him pseudo-evasive every combat. In aggro and equipment-voltron shells, double strike massively amplifies equipment bonuses (every +1/+1 stat point deals damage twice), and haste lets him threaten immediately. His base stats are modest for Commander but shine in Brawl at 25 life where double strike haste can close games quickly; he's a solid but not format-defining threat in multiplayer EDH.

Learnings (3)

  • Double strike synergizes multiplicatively with equipment buffs — a +2/+0 sword makes Spider-Man deal 4 extra damage per attack, so equipment-voltron shells dramatically increase his effective output beyond what his 2/3 base suggests.

  • The attack trigger (target creature can't block this turn) is NOT a tap effect — it can neutralize a large blocker regardless of vigilance, making him more evasive than his text implies.

    tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6

  • In Brawl at 25 starting life, a haste double-striker with a blocker-removal trigger can realistically threaten lethal in 2-3 attacks with modest equipment, making him tier-1 in that format despite modest Commander standing.
