Deathtouch makes SO much sense with Spiders. Glad to see this. And with 3 toughness, it can still survive many more battles than Deadly Recluse. Great common.

Deadly Recluse's younger, bigger, and tougher brother. Swarmyard decks have yet another creature killer.

I love the art. It's all scrabbly and scrawly, perfect for a spider. I suppose he makes a great Wall, who can also attack sometimes if need be. his 3 toughness makes it so he'll most likely survive any blocking creatures, and if not, hey. Deathtouch.

Though Deadly Recluse is typically better in creature matchups, this big-brother (or elder cousin) of his will wreak havoc in limited.

Referring to Spidery Grasp: I was expecting to see the Lady of Videns as a double-faced card in Dark Ascension. Instead of a legendary human/human spider we only got this common spider :(
Perhaps she will appear in Avacyn Restored...

Could have costed or have 4 toughness or have first strike when blocking flyer and be an uncommon... This card only shows how ridiculous Vampire Nighthawk is.

Hey, you guys can say what you want, but at least I finally have some legal deathtouch for my spider deck.

Not quite as survivable as Giant spider, but you can damn well bet it's going to do it's job. It's no fun to block it, either. Edit: Freaking Silverclaw Griffin.

This would be a lot better with 4 toughness at this cost. That way, it could block the 1 CMC Delver of Secrets without dying as a result, and two Drogskol Captains wouldn't let a single spirit token trade with the Kessig Recluse either.
@Dolorosa: the art is pretty poor flavour-wise. How much Reach can you really get from hanging underneath a bridge, i.e. underneath people walking.

I love Deathtouch on Reach creatures. "Nice Thundermaw you've got there."

Compare to vampire nighthawk to see why this is pretty bad.
