This Shelob, Child of Ungoliant deck focuses on Spiders and graveyard synergy in Golgari colors, harnessing both token generation and sacrifice loops for lethal board control. Creatures like Ishkanah, Grafwidow, Arasta of the Endless Web, and Lolth, Spider Queen swarm the battlefield with Spider tokens, while cards such as Grave Pact, Eaten Alive, and Swarmyard Massacre punish opponents whenever you sacrifice or block with your eight-legged horde. You’ll ramp aggressively using Nissa's Pilgrimage, Cultivate, and Arcane Signet to fuel big spells like Tooth and Nail, powering up your engine of reanimation (Dread Return, Deadbridge Chant) and massive overrun effects like Kamahl, Fist of Krosa or Overwhelming Stampede. Meanwhile, synergy pieces like Skullclamp, Greater Good, and Nyx Weaver keep your graveyard stocked and your hand full, ensuring that any Spider you lose returns bigger and deadlier than ever.
