A balanced addition to the infect army. Even if I wasn't running infect I would prefer it over Giant Spider.

A nice variation on giant spider. Note how it is not strictly better.
The real beauty of this card is that it's probably the second spider out there that has venom in it.
Pick it early in draft if you're green, even if you're not infect.

Prior to this, the only way for Infect to deal with flying in limited was Plague Stinger and Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon (if you were lucky enough to pull him!). This will be a big player in limited

No its not
Kiku, Night's Flower makes Blightwidow nearly worthless after one tap.
She can't weaken Giant Spider in normal circumstances
Although I would agree with 'overall better'

This card.
Dear God.
It's a seriously good card in Limited.
No matter who plays it, the opponent will groan.
It's a nuisance, and a very good nuisance at that.
I love drafting him.

I played Mirrans in the Prerelease. This is pretty much the common I least wanted to see. Incredibly aggravating to deal with, even moreso than regular Giant Spider! Now there's a feat. I pretty much wanted to light myself on fire every time he hit the table.

Pretty decent for a common. I guess Giant Spider has become nothing more than a placeholder in your card box.

great card in limited, strange that Giant Spider was awful but this turns out to be pretty good. Not sure how well it would do in a constructed infect deck, though.

Giant Spider was NEVER playable outside of limited, so stop feeling sorry for it. This card shouldn't see play oustide limited either, not even in infect decks because it's incredibly slow and there are infinitely better options. However, those of you praising its draftability are correct; this is first pick worthy in a weak pack, easily third pick in an average pack. Giant Spider was always helpful for green, and an early pick; this is even better, and in a set with tons of flyers no less.
