This card is really really awesome!
Of course, most of your creatures are tapped for attacking, but the reach ability prevents you from being smashed by FISH (Fly In the Sky High) decks or allows some chump-blocking against flying fatties which normally would kill you fast; besides this, the +0/+1 bonus is still no joke, since it can transform a fast aggro 1- or 2-toughness creature into a more serious menace. As a final note, I point out that this is a COMMON!

The thing that scares me about this card is that it's a common.
A common.
I love it.
Easy air defence (read, cheap) for a colour that doesn't get many fliers, and easily splashable.
Between this, Hurricane Elemental and Silklash Spider, green won't have to worry about fliers for some time.
4.5/5

Can somebody please tell me why they've never reprinted this card? This is a staple for any mono-green deck.

I wish I had more of these to enhance my token deck. I wish I had more token cards to start a propper token deck. :(
Anyway, great defensive card (ever without the tokens).

i never understood why this was an "enchantment" instead of "enchant creature". looks like there's only one person wearing the spidersilk armor. what, do they have like drones of spiders just whipping up armor silk in a tree somewhere to pass out to your creatures? i don't get it...

Good in a Doran, the Siege Tower EDH deck.

Very good in a green beastly deck. Attacking with 2/2 flyer? Say hello to my Avatar of Might with reach!
Just beware of some removal.

I love how well designed this card is. You always want to find it in games where it matters, so you want more copies in your deck and thankfully, unlike a lot of global enchantments, multiples doesn't hurt due to that +1 toughness bonus.
