That art needed updating badly. Lovin' the new look.

A 3/3 with reach for only 3 CMC is pretty good, even with the "drawback".

Well there's a reprint I wasn't expecting. The art is definitely an upgrade, and it's an efficient creature for holding off airborne menaces. I just wish they had reprinted Juvenile Gloomwidow while they were at it.

This is pretty damn aggressive for a spider.

You know what's funny? This spider can't block itself. It doesn't have flying, and it can only block flying. What the hell Wizards? 4/5 just for making me laugh.

It hid in Garruk's pant leg as he planeswalked away from Lorwin/Shadowmoor.

Sooo, why does it even have the "reach" ability printed?

Astounding how a cathedral-sized spider tops out at 3/3.

I never understood this concept.

So, it's high enough in the air to block creature with flying, but I guess it's too lazy to descend to block any creatures that aren't in the air. Yet, whenever it attacks, it's susceptible to any blocking on ground level.

I'll only ever love Juvenile Gloomwidow.

I get why Cloud Sprite or Rishadan Airship can only block flyers. They're too slow on the ground.

This...makes delightfully little sense.
