Rationale

4cmc 4/4 legendary that enters as a copy of any creature in any graveyard (keeping its name and base stats), then exiles that card. It's a graveyard-matters value creature — acts as a reanimator-adjacent clone that steals the best ETB or stat-line from any graveyard, making it strong in self-mill and graveyard-matters shells. The exile clause prevents re-use and requires a stocked graveyard, keeping it out of pure aggro or tempo shells where graveyards aren't consistently full.

Learnings (3)

  • Superior Spider-Man's copy ability is a replacement effect that triggers 'when you do', meaning you choose at ETB whether to copy — you can always choose NOT to copy if no graveyard target is useful, leaving him as a vanilla 4/4.

  • Unlike most clone effects, Superior Spider-Man copies from ANY graveyard (not just yours), making him better in multiplayer Commander where opponents' graveyards are also available targets.

    tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6

  • The exile clause means he cannot repeatedly copy the same card across multiple flickers or bounces — each copy opportunity consumes the target card permanently, limiting loop potential.
