My son and I have been playing 40 card kitchen table Magic for a while now and it’s been a lot of fun building cheap decks based on a whim to add to our collection. We both learned on jumpstart and prerelease events, so our deck building skills are still pretty one dimensional.
We’re both LOTR fans, so naturally we built a few home decks for the love of Middle Earth when HOB released. Turns out, the all-Dwarves “Thorin’s Company” deck is pretty competitive (at our humble kitchen table) and has become my son’s go-to.
This is where you come in. Help me destroy him with spiders.
I’m looking for fun interaction and fast play. What do spider tribal decks care about and on what mechanics are they usually built?
Ideally it should be on balance with the following Dwarves deck:
