Enweb is a keyword ability introduced in Marvel's Spider-Man.[1] It is an alternative cost. It is functionally equivalent to the Universes Beyond-exclusive web-slinging ability.
Description
Enweb is an ability that allows players to return a tapped creature they control to its owner's hand to cast the spell for a alternative cost. Enweb can be used on both permanents and spells. Returning a tapped creature is part of the cost, so if you don't control one, you can't use enweb to cast the spell.[2]
Using enweb to cast a spell doesn't change when you can cast that spell. On most cards, using enweb will save you some mana and (depending on which creature you return to hand) may give you another crack at some advantageous "enters" abilities. Some cards have bonuses if they were cast using enweb.
Rules
Rulings
- Enweb represents an alternative cost. If another effect allows you to play a card for a different alternative cost, including "without paying its mana cost," you can't also choose to pay its enweb cost. If any additional costs from other sources are applied, you must pay those.
- You must follow all normal timing rules when casting a spell with enweb. For creatures, that usually means you must cast it during a main phase of your turn while the stack is empty.
- The creature you return must be tapped at the time you pay costs, but doesn't necessarily need to be tapped before you start casting the spell. For example, if you tap a creature with a mana ability to pay part of the spell's enweb cost, you could also return that creature to your hand to pay the cost.
- If any permanent has an ability that triggers when the permanent you return leaves the battlefield, that ability will be put on the stack after you finish casting the spell, and it will resolve before that spell.[3]
