I had been wanting to make a deck based around food tokens for a bit and when I came across Shelob, Child of Ungoliant, I found my commander. The deck is generally a spider tribal deck but with a few other themes that go well with Golgari. From the playtesting I have done so far, I have found the deck to be surprisingly good! The ability to essentially steal other player's creatures with triggered abilities or even your own creatures and turn them into food tokens is a very strong ability of the commander. The extra protection and mass deathtouch provided by the commander is also not too shabby either. Checkout the decklist below and let me know what you think!
