Ettercap // Web Shot is a flexible double-faced card that puts a reach, deathtouch body on the battlefield and staples on a removal spell that can tap down a flier mid-combat — the combination of threat and utility in one slot is the whole appeal. The cost is real: neither half is efficient on raw stats, and outside of adventure-matters commanders like Gorion, Wise Mentor, this competes poorly with dedicated removal or dedicated threats.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Gorion, Wise Mentor
Gorion, Wise Mentor triggers off casting adventure spells, which means Ettercap // Web Shot lets you cast Web Shot and pull a free card or spell off Gorion's ability before the Ettercap half ever hits the battlefield — one card doing double duty in the exact engine Gorion wants.
Beluna Grandsquall
Beluna Grandsquall cares about creatures with odd mana values, and Ettercap // Web Shot's creature half fits that criterion while also providing an adventure spell to trigger Beluna's ability — it earns its slot by checking two boxes simultaneously.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Ettercap // Web Shot is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker — and Pauper is the one format where it sees any real consideration, since reach plus deathtouch blocks most aggressive fliers cold and the adventure tack gives the card marginal flexibility at common. In Commander it's a niche piece for adventure-tribal builds; the body and the spell are both underpowered for a 100-card singleton environment unless you're specifically assembling an adventure-matters engine. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters — the rate is nowhere near the power level those formats demand.
