When it comes to White cards, Marvel's Spider-Man set has some of the most flavorful designs we've seen yet. These aren't only representations of heroics, they also pack serious Commander utility. White may be the color of law and order, but in this set, it's also the color of web-slinging sacrifice and symbiotic redemption.

Here are my picks for the best White cards from Marvel's Spider-Man for Commander.

Spectacular Spider-Man

This 3/2 with Flash is exactly what you'd expect from Spidey, always dropping in unannounced. The ability to give himself flying until end of turn is a cute combat trick, but the real power lies in his sacrifice ability. By paying one mana and sacrificing him, you grant your whole board hexproof and indestructible until end of turn. That's basically a White Heroic Intervention strapped onto a creature.

In Commander, this makes him a sneaky form of insurance. You can hold him up to protect your army from board wipes or surprise targeted removal. He's cheap, flexible, and fits nicely into any deck that wants redundancy in board protection.

Plays well with:

• Teferi's Protection for another angle of board protection.
• Selfless Spirit for even more creature-based insurance.
• Sun Titan to recur him after you've sacrificed him.
• Moonshaker Cavalry to ensure your army wins you the game through wipes.

Rent Is Due

The flavor is absolutely top tier: Spider-Man's eternal struggle with rent captured in enchantment form. Mechanically, it's deceptively strong. At your end step, you can tap two untapped creatures or Treasures to draw a card. If you can't, it sacrifices itself... just like failing to pay rent gets you evicted.

Card draw in White is notoriously scarce, and this turns your expendable creatures or Treasures into consistent value. In token decks or Treasure-heavy builds, this is essentially a Phyrexian Arena that asks you to keep up your payments.

Plays well with:

• Smothering Tithe because Treasures make rent easy.
• Skullclamp to keep the card draw flowing if you're running tokens.
• Mondrak, Glory Dominus for doubling those creature tokens.
• Requiem Angel to ensure you always have bodies to tap.

Spider-Man, Peter Parker

Here's the flagship Spider-Man in White. A 4/4 flyer for five mana is already a solid body, but the real juice is in his triggered ability. Whenever you gain life, you put a +1/+1 counter on a creature and give it indestructible until end of turn.

Life gain decks are already strong in Commander, and this Spider-Man turns every incidental life gain into both board growth and protection. Soul Sisters, Angels, Clerics... Peter is the ultimate team player. Plus, he ensures your biggest threat sticks around through wipes.

Plays well with:

• Soul Warden or Soul's Attendant to maximize triggers.
• Righteous Valkyrie for life gain plus anthem.
• Archangel of Thune to spread counters around the whole board.
• MJ, Rising Star isn't the strongest synergy but hey, it's in theme.

Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer

Anti-Venom is one of the flashiest White creatures in the set. At a hefty six White pips, you're looking at serious commitment. You gotta be downright devoted (get it?) but you get serious payoff. When cast, he reanimates a creature from your graveyard. Plus, he has a pseudo-Toughness mechanic: damage is prevented, and instead, he gets that many +1/+1 counters.

This makes him an absolute wall in combat and a nightmare for opponents to remove. Every attempt to damage him just makes him bigger. In decks that can support his mana cost, Anti-Venom becomes a recursive engine and a growing threat.

Plays well with:

• Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx to help support that heavy White devotion.
• Cathars' Crusade so all those counters snowball into more board presence.
• Pariah is a classic aura that gives you extra survivability and grows a threat.
• Inquisitor's Flail is a downright dastardly weapon in Anti-Venom's hands.

Arachne, Psionic Weaver

Arachne introduces a targeted, nay, surgical use of the Web-Slinging mechanic, and it's brilliant. You can cast her with an alternate cost if you bounce a tapped creature. That means you're getting tempo value by reusing ETBs while putting a 3/3 on the field.

Even better, when she enters, you peek at an opponent's hand, choose a card type, and make those spells cost 1 more. It's a disruptive effect that scales beautifully in Commander especially in the more competitive tables. Slow down someone's board wipes, counterspells, or big mana artifacts, while you get information and tempo advantage.

Plays well with:

• Reflector Mage or Skyclave Apparition to pair with her bounce.
• Ephara, God of the Polis to capitalize on repeated creature ETBs.
• Thalia, Guardian of Thraben for even more tax effects.
• Drannith Magistrate to lean into the stax/control angle.

Webslinger's Final Words

Marvel's Spider-Man set did White justice. Instead of just being the color of removal and, these cards highlight Spider-Man's (and his allies!) grit, responsibility, and resilience both on the battlefield and in everyday struggles.

Let's be honest: running Spider-Man as your commander is about as heroic as it gets in Magic: the Gathering.
