Iron Spider anchors a colorless artifact-counters deck that floods the board with artifact creatures and Vehicles, then taps each turn to pump them all simultaneously into a lethal swing. Early turns develop cheap artifact creatures and mana rocks, mid-game you tap Iron Spider to snowball counters across the team, and late-game you convert excess counters into cards or alpha-strike. Vigilance lets you attack and still hold the activation back as a deterrent.
Anchors a fully colorless artifact strategy, so it slots into any color identity or stays mono-artifact
Board-wide counter growth scales hard with go-wide artifact token production
Built-in card advantage engine via the counter-to-draw ability prevents running out of gas
Vigilance plus counter accumulation makes it both an attacker and a defensive wall
Slow without ramp — the tap ability only triggers once per turn and does nothing the turn it enters
Heavily reliant on the commander; repeated removal or counter-removal stalls the whole engine
Colorless limits access to premium interaction, sweepers, and tutors
Vulnerable to board wipes since the deck commits many artifact creatures to the field
