Shelob, Child of Ungoliant + Thornbite Staff + Hermetic Study

Shelob, Child of Ungoliant

Thornbite Staff

Hermetic Study

How it works

1. Activate the Spider with Thornbite Staff and Hermetic Study 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 ingenious setup turns any creature into a one-shot death machine by combining **Shelob, Child of Ungoliant** with **Thornbite Staff** and **Hermetic Study**. Equipping the **Thornbite Staff** grants the creature a ping ability identical to the one provided by **Hermetic Study**, allowing the equipped Spider to deal lethal damage to anything it targets thanks to the deathtouch granted by **Shelob, Child of Ungoliant**. Every time a victim falls to this targeted ping, the **Thornbite Staff** untaps the shooter so it can fire again, while **Shelob, Child of Ungoliant** simultaneously preserves the fallen foe as a harmless Food artifact.
