Symbiote Spider-Man

—

Symbiote Spider-Man is a 3cmc 2/4 that generates card selection (draw one, bin the rest) whenever it deals combat damage, then can be exiled from the graveyard to grant a creature a +1/+1 counter and its looter/card-draw ability — effectively a persistent recurring engine. The "Find New Host" ability makes it a strong graveyard-matters and voltron piece, passing its abilities to a beefier creature; it slots well into self-mill shells that naturally stock the graveyard and in counters/voltron builds seeking a resilient, ability-granting engine.

• The 'Find New Host' ability exiles the card from the graveyard as a cost, so the ability can only fire once per graveyard visit — it is not a repeatable engine on its own without ways to re-fill the graveyard.

• Granting abilities to another creature via Find New Host also transfers the combat-damage draw trigger, which can be explosive on an already-evasive or high-power creature, effectively upgrading an attacker mid-game.

• Because Find New Host activates only as a sorcery, it cannot be used in response to removal — plan to activate before the opponent's turn or during your main phase after combat.
