Oracle Text

Deathtouch, ward {2}
Other Spiders you control have deathtouch and ward {2}.
Whenever another creature dealt damage this turn by a Spider you controlled dies, create a token that's a copy of that creature, except it's a Food artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life," and it loses all other card types.

Character Background

Shelob, Child of Ungoliant is a terrifying finisher that most naturally fits a value-oriented midrange or control shell, especially one built to exploit combat attrition. As an 8/8 with deathtouch and ward {2}, she is already hard to answer in fair fights, and she upgrades every other Spider you control into a board of poisonous blockers that tax removal. Her real prize is the death trigger: any creature damaged by your Spiders that later dies becomes a Food copy, giving you both a board swing and a stream of incidental life gain. That makes fight spells, deathtouch pingers, and damage-based sweep support especially strong. Deckbuilding-wise, pair her with Spider tribal cards, token producers, and ways to repeatedly ping or force blocks so you can convert opposing threats into value. In lore terms, she feels like a predatory heir to monstrous lineage, feeding on the battlefield while leaving only trapped remnants behind.
