Sensational Spider-Man

Legendary Creature — Spider Human Hero

Sensational Spider-Man wants a deck that slows the whole table down with rules everyone must follow. It also works in a deck built around Heroes, Humans or Spiders.

Whenever Sensational Spider-Man attacks, tap target creature defending player controls and put a stun counter on it. Then you may remove up to three stun counters from among all permanents. Draw cards equal to the number of stun counters removed this way.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Sep 2025

One or more stun counters on a permanent create a single replacement effect that stops the permanent from untapping. That effect is "If a permanent with a stun counter on it would become untapped, instead remove a stun counter from it."

Wizards of the Coast 19 Sep 2025

The stun counters don't need to be removed from the same permanent. For example, if an opponent controls three permanents that each have two stun counters on them, you could remove one stun counter from each of those permanents.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Sep 2025

You may remove stun counters from permanents you control as well as ones your opponents control.
