Amazing card! There are so many awesome combos with this guy that I won't even bother to count them. A good one that everyone here for some strange reason seem to have forgotten about is this fella' + Banishing Knack. Repeatable Boomerangs for one (U) each for a whole turn! How can you not love it?
By the way, to all people reading this and not in the knowing, Horseshoe Crabs are actually not crabs. They are not even crustaceans. The horseshoe crab species are actually from a completely separate cl*** of arthropods, and have remained biologically unchanged for millions of years.

This guy had a kid. It grew up to be Soliton. It was even printed in the same set as Heavy Arbalest. The crab lives on!

Crab +Hermetic Study+Sigil of Sleep. No creatures ever again, this combo brought to you entirely by the Urza's block and also uses nothing higher then a common.

No, Squee, you can't crack it open. It has a toughness of 3, while you have a power of 1. And then it will kill you, even though you'll just come back.

Throw a Hermetic Study or Psionic Gift on it and your opponents will quickly wish they had some removal in their hands.

This card is so unusually combo-y for having an unassuming name and art. I like!

There's a reason Hermetic Study wasn't in Tenth Edition. Put Curiosity on this too and it's basically game over. And I think they quoted Squee because he was IN Tenth Edition.

Experiment Kraj enjoys putting a counter on this one.

@ Arachnos:
As a Johnny, I'll take your challenge. All it requires to make that little trick useful is a Wake Thrasher on the board. You can make him infinitely huge just by tapping and untapping the crab. You could also do it with Utopia Vow instead of Paradise Mantle, which isn't quite as nice of a card, but it is a lot cheaper to get a playset.
