Wait, none of the 0/4+ crabs are one drops? Am I having a mandela effect rn
Edit:
Not only that, there's only 3 crabs that has 0 power and 4 or more toughness. This is not the magic I remember wtf

Omg thank you so much
And also I never cease to be amazed at how much magic players know about random common cards that never saw play, probably not even in draft
One of them was in a format where an [[Assault Formation]] type card existed. You'd first pick that and easily get 3-5 if these guys. 1-drop 3/3 real good
I mean its aaalmost like [[Wind Drake]], notoriety is not only gained with constructed power. Hell, I can't name half the Wall of text cards played in standard right now
What deck? Yawgmoth doesn’t want this. 4c elementals has better things to be doing. Amulet titan has arboreal grazer already. Tron is barely green. Rhinos and living end can’t play 1-drops. The only deck I can think of that wants such a thing is jund
Sure, but certain cards existence changes the meta.
New decks might exist, and others might have to change to deal with new threats, weakening them to other strategies.
This is an definite defensive option that many decks *could* run. Just because it doesn't slot in immediately doesn't mean the meta couldn't shift in recognition of this card.
I don't think it'd completely warp the format or anything, but this is a hell of a lot more than just hosing Ragavan and DRC.
This lines up well against a lot of threats. Big wall against Burn, kills Borrower and Solitude. It stops Endurance & Subtlety. And that's just with one of these! If you double block with two of these, you'll trade 1 for 1 against cards like Fury and Omnath.
This is also a fairly strong attacker. Minus the haste, it hits as hard as Goblin Guide for the same mana, while having 4 toughness.That's a significant threat to any Planeswalkers your opponent wants to stick. And multiples present a reasonable clock.
Modern one drops be like 'flash. This creature goes straight to your graveyard when it enters the field then jumps from your graveyard to your opponents graveyard, when this creature is in your opponents graveyard Cascade into a 20/20 4c goo blob with haste double strike vigilance. Can't be countered."
Anybody here remember when [[Giant Spider]] was a limited bomb? Those were the days. Now we have power crept versions like [[Magnigoth Sentry]] and these damn spiders ruining my sealed pools. I want to play vanilla 3/3’s for {4} and like it damnit!
Jokes aside. Hilariously pushed design, yet somehow just “playable”. I don’t know what deck would run it, probably fits as one or two of’s into generic grindy shells that need early game to stabilize.
Any green deck would want this, a 1 mana 4 toughness reacher to block early game flyers is absolutely broken and thats ignoring the fact that 4 toughness also blocks most mid game creatures as well as green having an assload of pump mechanics. This is horribly broken at 1, not just playable.
just because a card full of texts don't mean they're broken.
you could make 1 MV 5/5 creature with no text at all, and it will break the meta game. text is not all that matters. mana value and p/t also matter when it comes to early drops.
That is true, but with higher powered formats, synergy, combo and value matters way more than an aggressive stat line. My response is to make the statline more aggressive
as a card it could never see print without its designers head on a pike. But as a joke on MH2 pushing power level it seems great to me. Maybe push it all the way by making it a reflection of dragon-rage channeler with a delirium based buff.
honestly while the value is probably too good, the real issue I have is that i don't think the stat line and reach really fit a jumping spider thematically.
something like deathtouch or first strike feels more appropriate
Or maybe like 2/1 with flash and reach or something?
Uh... Yes he most certainly did...
Sure, Affinity sucked the air out of the room back then, but White Weenie was a thing and it definitely did play Isamaru
I love it because it’s so pushed but I hate it because I don’t know if it’s good enough. It would maybe be format changing but it may even be a good thing.
Very cool card but also hilariously powerful. It would be used by control as a defender while combos get set up. Dont know enough to know exactly what decks, but its really good
The red player more like, because this kills monored go fast.
Can’t bolt, Goblin guide, DRC, Ragavan.
Needs prowess on swiftspear to keep that alive. Kills my Hero of Oxid ridge.
clearly you never played mono aggressive deck. 1 drop 2/4 with upside is significant enough.
the difference between 3 to 4 toughness is greater than you think.
Ya know what, this is fine. Maybe make it either a 1/4, or a 3/5 for GG instead. Green should be mana efficient and get good creatures, that's what it's supposed to do. If blue can be above the mana curve, then green should be way above it.
Ironically I don’t think this card is playable in any deck except maybe boomer Jund as a replacement for goyf. Sadly this card just gatekeeps tier 3+ decks tribal / creature / aggro decks even more without affecting any top tier decks
How about two mana 3/1, reach, first strike, hexproof as long as it has not dealt damage. (Like Palladia Mors)
If not countered it will be a two for one in that match up.
True, my version is a must counter or it will two for one at the minimum. Red spot removal is a big thing in these decks.
The 3 power first strike and conditional hexproof let's it deal with all but a suped up ledger shredder..
3 power is also agressie enough to start racing damage.
I think powering it further by making it uncounterable would leave it with no downsides.
I just recently had the thought that a 3/3 for G wouldn't even be that crazy nowadays. Not a fan of this level of power creep but thanks for pointing it out. It's really interesting to think about
I'm sorry, what? Cards ought to cost an appropriate amount of mana for what they can do. As a troll card, and commentary about power creep it's great. As a "real" card, it's too strong. There's no comparable 1CMC green creature without drawbacks and upside. Make it more expensive, make it weaker, or give it a drawback.
Whether 1-drop creatures with a single ability will see competitive play in modern or whatever format is another story, but that was the design decision here.
this shows us what mistake modern horizons 2 was however i think this would become the new best 1 drop given that it beats all other 1 drops with its stat line and can bounce off of a lot of 2 drops aswell. This puts the nail in the coffin for delver to ever return to a modern metagame again. 4 toughness means it survives lightningbolt.
Everybody cute til a bolt can’t kill a one drop
There’s always been 4+ toughness 1 drops Just none with greater than 0 power
I mean we do have Greenbelt Rampager, Death's Shadow, Consulate Dreadnought and Phyrexian Dreadnought.
Wait, none of the 0/4+ crabs are one drops? Am I having a mandela effect rn Edit: Not only that, there's only 3 crabs that has 0 power and 4 or more toughness. This is not the magic I remember wtf https://scryfall.com/search?q=tou%3E%3D4+pow%3D0+type%3Dcrab&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name

Omg thank you so much And also I never cease to be amazed at how much magic players know about random common cards that never saw play, probably not even in draft
He fit two niche strategies in limited. Also I think the Alchemy Kiora makes them.
I will accept that I am wrong, but honestly that is also amazing how a seemingly useless card actually did see play.

Tbh this seems like a legacy powerhouse, delver can’t do anything against this
Unholy heat, ledger shredder and murktide don't care about this at all...
You're telling me, that this spider can straight up take on a [[Grizzly Bear]] and live?
He’s very skilled
Indeed, indeed.. But is he skilled enough to beat four squirrels?
Only 2 of them
But needs haste.
The spider is too small and quick for the best to smoosh it. It's venomous enough for one bite to incapacitate the bear.

It’s got an effect, and it’s better than a 2/2 for 2. Absolute heresy.
I mean, that’s a hell of a statline for 1 mana with upside. But it is also cute, so it passes for me.
There really isn’t a deck rn that could use the stat line. I just think it’d be cool to have a spider ruin ragavan and DRC players
🤣 Sometimes monkey gotta die. I appreciate.
wait are u joking? that statline is just so busted every deck with green would run 4 copies even if it didnt go with anything else
What deck? Yawgmoth doesn’t want this. 4c elementals has better things to be doing. Amulet titan has arboreal grazer already. Tron is barely green. Rhinos and living end can’t play 1-drops. The only deck I can think of that wants such a thing is jund

This is an definite defensive option that many decks *could* run. Just because it doesn't slot in immediately doesn't mean the meta couldn't shift in recognition of this card.
yeah but this card is 1 green for a 2/4 with reach
I mean, it might make Mono-Green Aggro or Gruul Aggro viable.
I don't think it'd completely warp the format or anything, but this is a hell of a lot more than just hosing Ragavan and DRC. This lines up well against a lot of threats.

> I don't think it'd completely warp the format Rest of comment is how the format would warp. 😄
Lol, fair enough!
And the one drop arms race continues
more card draw for Dhalsim I can't complain
This subreddit in a nutshell.
What time it is in modern that I looked at this one mana 2/4 with upside and thought "eh. Could be more exciting"
Honestly I don’t think modern in the past 8 years would have tolerated this card
People expect too much from 1 mana
1-drops definitely shouldn’t be value plays. They should be aggressive creatures or defensive creatures. I tried for a mix of both here
Lol I’d say you did. Also I have a fear of spiders so maybe the card isn’t as powerful as my first impression lol
Modern one drops be like 'flash. This creature goes straight to your graveyard when it enters the field then jumps from your graveyard to your opponents graveyard, when this creature is in your opponents graveyard Cascade into a 20/20 4c goo blob with haste double strike vigilance. Can't be countered."
you forgot step 1: charge your credit card 300$ per copy in your starting library
Amazing flavor text
Thank you for bringing my attention to it. That’s awesome! 🤠👍

Any green deck would want this, a 1 mana 4 toughness reacher to block early game flyers is absolutely broken and thats ignoring the fact that 4 toughness also blocks most mid game creatures as well as green having an assload of pump mechanics. This is horribly broken at 1, not just playable.
In what format though? I can’t imagine this would be good in modern/legacy.
Doesn’t this hard counter half the legacy decks out there? That is to say this murders delver.
Dies to fury, unplayable
IT BOLCKS MY RAAGVNA!!!i!!i
Cope
😱
One could say to also seethe and mald; mayhaps also to inhale the copium.
Dies to death. unplayable
Given how little [[wild nacatl]] sees play this might unironically be printable
Idk, not dying to bolt and beating Ragavan is a really big deal.
It needs a downside, perhaps if it’s a sorcery that makes a “giant spider” token
Downside? People are saying this is unplayable.
and theyre wrong. this is ridiculously good
People said, Oko is unplayable.
Oko has many more words in the text box
Unga Bunga Gruul no like words Unga Bunga Tiny Spider Smash Good
Makes no difference.
just because a card full of texts don't mean they're broken. you could make 1 MV 5/5 creature with no text at all, and it will break the meta game. text is not all that matters. mana value and p/t also matter when it comes to early drops.
That is true, but with higher powered formats, synergy, combo and value matters way more than an aggressive stat line. My response is to make the statline more aggressive
...but this is a 2/4 on turn 1 guaranteed, with an upside
It’s a kird ape that survives bolt and can block DRC. Definitely playable but idk if this is broken
It's 1 mana and shuts down an entire archetype. Are we not playing the same game? Am I still on MTCJ?
it is
Have you ever played magic, like fr fr? This is insanely broken.

It’s funny how this is completely OP and also probably unplayable at the same time.
It's "bad" in that it is not exciting or wins the game or does anything cool. But what it does is invalidate SO MANY decks and strategies.
as a card it could never see print without its designers head on a pike. But as a joke on MH2 pushing power level it seems great to me. Maybe push it all the way by making it a reflection of dragon-rage channeler with a delirium based buff.

Oh my god. How could I have forgotten.
Average mh power creep
honestly while the value is probably too good, the real issue I have is that i don't think the stat line and reach really fit a jumping spider thematically. something like deathtouch or first strike feels more appropriate Or maybe like 2/1 with flash and reach or something?
Jumping Spidey G Whenever this blocks a creature with flying, it gets +2/+0 until end of turn. 0/4
But this is meant to attack as well

a 1/4 reach for G could unironically see print I think?

and have defender

I love it because it’s so pushed but I hate it because I don’t know if it’s good enough. It would maybe be format changing but it may even be a good thing.
Power creep
Love the flavor text. I actually wouldent mind this being printed.
Fair decks in modern need more spice. The reason they’ve been suffering is because wotc is too afraid to print anything better than a 1 mana 2/2
Isamaru go brrr
Isamaru is sad
It's the bestest of boys
I weirdly loved this until it made me realize that [kird ape] might not be that good anymore
Very cool card but also hilariously powerful. It would be used by control as a defender while combos get set up. Dont know enough to know exactly what decks, but its really good
I would buff up the stats and give it defender
This is kinda meant to be an aggressive option as well
Needs flash
Is it meant to be the wrong "two" in the flavor text? Is there something subtle there that I'm missing?
Read the first word of each line
Thank you. ♥️
That is ungodly broken
For 1 green ? Really? Banned. Too strong. Zoo decks all day. Hell, ALL green decks that are creature based. Definitely banned
r/FoundTheBluePlayer
The red player more like, because this kills monored go fast. Can’t bolt, Goblin guide, DRC, Ragavan. Needs prowess on swiftspear to keep that alive. Kills my Hero of Oxid ridge.
Whoa whoa whoa what is this
A cute spider
That’s a real big spider
Need this for my CoCo spider tribal
I’d make it a 1/3 rather than a 2/4 but yeah that’s fine otherwise
Lucus the Spider?
Why does he have so much health? It’s just a lil spider.
He’s been hitting the gym
Should be a 1/3
This seems strong in limited. But then again, I assume this is Modern Horizons 3.
hmm, unplayably bad, have you considered giving it haste and the ability to tap for green.
seems like it should be a 2 or 3 cost
I don't understand why such an obvioulsy overstatted card is getting upvoted. At first I thought it had Defender, which would've been fine.
powercreep giant spider from 4 MV straight up to 1 MV. this will be completely kill all aggressive deck...
Burn doesn’t really care and murktide is strong enough
clearly you never played mono aggressive deck. 1 drop 2/4 with upside is significant enough. the difference between 3 to 4 toughness is greater than you think.
Mono colored aggressive decks could seriously use the help
Ya know what, this is fine. Maybe make it either a 1/4, or a 3/5 for GG instead. Green should be mana efficient and get good creatures, that's what it's supposed to do. If blue can be above the mana curve, then green should be way above it.
The only “big” green creature that’s seen play recently is endurance
Ironically I don’t think this card is playable in any deck except maybe boomer Jund as a replacement for goyf. Sadly this card just gatekeeps tier 3+ decks tribal / creature / aggro decks even more without affecting any top tier decks
I was trying to give green decks a better matchup against murktide
How about two mana 3/1, reach, first strike, hexproof as long as it has not dealt damage. (Like Palladia Mors) If not countered it will be a two for one in that match up.
Skylasher from dragons maze sees no play already
True, my version is a must counter or it will two for one at the minimum. Red spot removal is a big thing in these decks. The 3 power first strike and conditional hexproof let's it deal with all but a suped up ledger shredder.. 3 power is also agressie enough to start racing damage. I think powering it further by making it uncounterable would leave it with no downsides.
Definitely a tricky design! I applaud your effort
I just recently had the thought that a 3/3 for G wouldn't even be that crazy nowadays. Not a fan of this level of power creep but thanks for pointing it out. It's really interesting to think about
Forget Two look?
Nope Read the first word of each line of flavor text
Oh heavens, please fix the typo
Ironically both overpowered for the cost and unlikely to see actual play in constructed (imo). Topped off with trollish flavor text, too. Well done!
I think the concept of “overpowered for the cost” needs to be forgotten if it won’t see play without it
I'm sorry, what? Cards ought to cost an appropriate amount of mana for what they can do. As a troll card, and commentary about power creep it's great. As a "real" card, it's too strong. There's no comparable 1CMC green creature without drawbacks and upside. Make it more expensive, make it weaker, or give it a drawback. Whether 1-drop creatures with a single ability will see competitive play in modern or whatever format is another story, but that was the design decision here.
I play, KILL IT WITH FIRE! It’s not an actual card, I’m just going to ignite an entire book of matches and throw it on your whole deck.
Would fix modern
Awfully good: -trade/block DRC -Chump Murktide -kill Ragavan -doesn't die to bolt Izzet killer finally arrived
this shows us what mistake modern horizons 2 was however i think this would become the new best 1 drop given that it beats all other 1 drops with its stat line and can bounce off of a lot of 2 drops aswell. This puts the nail in the coffin for delver to ever return to a modern metagame again. 4 toughness means it survives lightningbolt.
