VS: Spider-Clones
Thought I'd toss up a deck to close out the first day of the long weekend. This is one of the five decks sitting on the desk in front of me. These decks include my chosen decks for Random Punks, MTU Alter Ego, and Deck Roulette. I'm not saying which is which, because I'm a tease. The other two decks are just for fun.
I make no claim that I'm the originator of these decks, though I will say that none are card-for-card taken from someone else's published decklist that I read somewhere.

Commentary
1
Aunt May: Alternate recruit and tutors out a Spidey for you. Does this one really need explanation?
Zabu: Get May in play with her alternate recruit, then recruit Zabu on turn 1? First Blood!
2
Scarlet Spider: Not as critical to the deck as he was prior to Indebted (when he was used as fodder for Costume Change to ensure the 6-drop, who enables all the cloning), being able to hide your Spideys is still a good thing.
Black Cat: Stall-friendly, slows down those nasty plot twists and can evade to stay in the game.
3
Spidey: Our first Spidey! And he makes team attackers unstunnable!
Luke Cage: Beef, pure and simple.
4
Sensational Spidey: Stall-tastic. If you can't get multiples in play through cloning, you can still substitute him in to your hearts content.
Spider-Hulk: 9/9 on a 4-drop is a good thing, right?
5
Spidey: Just cos he's Spidey, really.
Venom: I actually prefer Venom to Spidey at 5, and his ability can remove a reinforcer from the equation.
6
Scarlet Spider: Enables the entire bloody deck, so long as you can keep him in hand.
Wolverine: Unstunnable attackers are always a good thing.
7
Spidey: More stall-tastic goodness, just a good card all around.
8
Spidey: His stats should be phenomenal; smash to the face!
Spider-Senses: Still one of the best defensive pumps in the game.
Gift Wrapped: Stall-tastic yet again.
Going My Way?: Flight and Range are lacking in the deck. The ATK pump is gravy.
Indebted: Tutor, of course. If need be, alt-recruit May to get a Spidey to discard to this.
Flying Kick: Flight and combat pump
Mega-Blast: Range and combat pump
Feminine Wiles: Avoiding stunbacks and retaliatory attacks FTW!
Empire State University: Card draw, especially selective card draw, is a good thing.
