Shelob, Child of Ungoliant + Thornbite Staff + Power of Fire

Shelob, Child of Ungoliant

Thornbite Staff

Power of Fire

How it works

1. Activate the Spider with Thornbite Staff and Power of Fire attached by tapping it, dealing 1 damage to a creature an opponent controls and destroying it due to the Spider's deathtouch.
2. When the creature dies, Shelob and the Spider tapped in step 1 trigger.
3. Resolve the Shelob trigger, creating a token copy of the creature that died that is a Food artifact.
4. Resolve the Spider trigger, untapping it.
5. Repeat as desired. You can also repeat this loop whenever a creature enters the battlefield under an opponent's control.

This devious setup turns any Spider—most notably one like Shelob, Child of Ungoliant—into a terrifying removal engine by outfitting it with both Thornbite Staff and Power of Fire. While Power of Fire grants the necessary tap-to-damage ability, Thornbite Staff provides the critical untap trigger whenever *any* creature dies. Because Shelob, Child of Ungoliant ensures that damage dealt by your Spiders is lethal via deathtouch, every ping instantly kills the target, triggers Thornbite Staff to untap your creature, and leaves behind a nice little snack courtesy of Shelob's replacement effect.
