Spider-Man 2099 · MarvelCDB

Spider-Man 2099 holds an awkward place as the only Leadership Web-Warrior, but there are plenty of Basic Web-Warrior allies to play in a deck with him, or you can make him part of a multiplayer team. Miguel is under-statted for an ally, though there are ways to cheat him into play like Call for Backup and Across the Spider-Verse. From an efficiency perspective, the response ability is usually not worth it. The ability of an ally to block a villain's attack with their last hit point is a huge part of their value (~2 ER). By returning that ally to hand, we only give ourselves 1 ER of value. So why would we ever do this? (and before you say Web of Life and Destiny, remember you draw the card either way) First of all, this grants flexibility. If we have a resource-heavy hand in which 2+ resources would go unspent, we can return a playable ally to hand, then the "loss" of 1 ER of value is still less than the 2+ ER that would otherwise be wasted. Web-Warriors with strong enters play abilities like Miles or Pavitr might also be worth replaying again even at 1 ER less than their usual value.

Most notably, Miguel makes a powerful loop with Madame Web, which can let you stack the encounter deck several turns in a row. It's expensive to get going, but once it is, it becomes basically impossible to lose the game.

This is a pretty clean implementation of the core deck idea by theromeo3517 if you want to take 2099 out for a spin: marvelcdb.com

Spider-Man 2099 is a bit overrated for my money, but he certainly defines a unique and interesting deck, especially for coordinated multiplayer Web-Warrior lineups.

I'm not sure why you say that you wouldn't return an ally to trigger WoLaD, because returning means they can be played again and returned again (triggering more card draws than you would get without SM-2099). It seems like WoLaD obviously makes 2099 better and vice-versa. You're also missing the obvious synergy with [Warrior of the Great Web], which not only grants ATK, but also can be used to make any ally a target for this response. — RabidHobbit · 11 12/8/25

An example for the second part of my comment: Make X-23 Laura Kinney a Web Warrior, then use 2099's response to return a different Web-Warrior to your hand. Warrior of the Great Web gives her +1 ATK until the end of the phase. Once she is about to die, 2099 could return her, too (if you want to get her out again). — RabidHobbit · 11 12/8/25

...and I just realized while adding X-23 to my deck that Warrior of the Great Web only targets characters with "Spider" in the title. So there is still synergy with 2099 and WotGW, but it's not as exciting as I said. — RabidHobbit · 11 12/8/25

I meant that Web draws you a card whether you return it to hand or block with it normally (Warrior of the Great Web triggers either way too). I also acknowledge the flexibility argument, where returning a WW to hand may be the best use of your turn if you don't have something more efficient to do. Bear in mind, all of this still needs to make up for the fact that 2099 is under-statted at face value. Also, how are you attaching Warrior of the Great Web to X-23? — Stretch22 · 1849 12/8/25
