Just noticed there was never a thread for Superior Spider-Man. I've been testing it and have been liking it a good amount. Even when removing initiative from the equation, From the Catacombs has taught me that reanimation effects that can target ANY graveyard is an extremely powerful effect even at 5 mana. The nice thing about Superior Spider-Man compared to other reanimation spells is that it's much better at reanimating the more common smaller creatures like an Ocelot Pride / Orcish Bowmasters or something. It comes at the cost of not being as good as reanimating something like Archon of Cruelty / Atraxa, but their ETB triggers are so strong that it doesn't matter too much.
I appreciate the write-up! I was hesitant to add it to my cube since I don't have the ability to reasonably support reanimator yet, but the use case you point out of just rebuying small creatures as a 4/4 was enough to convince me to test the copy I've been sitting on.
I've been playing Sultai Reanimator on Arena and I can confirm it's very easy to get value off this card by exiling an ETB creatures from you or your opponent's graveyard.
