@Amnesigenic: Tantudo was probably talking about Sealed draft, where you open six, not three boosters, and thus would get at least six rares or mythic rares, more if you got a foil that was also a rare or mythic.
I love this card. Spider tribal has been a long time coming. I just wish it was out a year before, back when my brother still played his spider tribal deck. It would have been a beast.

What's so terrible about being able to recur enchantments? Searching graveyards can't be that uncommon/strange in this game, and neither is naming specific cards. The Heralds for example?
I like it. I wouldn't be shocked to see cards in Innistrad that search graveyards.

I'm such a genius, I predicted that they would put a spider lord in this set or the next. it turns out it was this set!
I currently have an insect deck that has a few spiders in it, like silklash spider and deadly recluse, but I'm hoping to create an arachnid-only deck.

This card is a Vorosthsplosion.

Spider Tribal? Never thought I'd live to see that. Going to be good friends with my Deadly Recluses.
Except for the "...search your graveyard and library for a card named...", which is usually something you see in yu-gi-oh cards. Not complaining, just pointing it out.

You know one thing that I absolutely don't get? Why is it that insects are very broadly classed as "Insect" in M:TG, yet arachnids are split up into genuses like "Spider" and "Scorpion"? Insects are incredibly diverse, probably more so than arachnids, and yet they are not separated. By that logic, the spiders and scorpions should be similarly classified as "Arachnids". Not to mention that would be pretty practical if WotC ever decides to introduce a solifuge or opilion card.
Oh, and one more thing. Why is that spiders generally have higher toughness than power in M:TG when spiders are in truth incredibly deadly, efficient and, in my opinion, beautiful predators?

I hate spiders in real life so much, but I kinda like them in Magic. It's nice to see a rare one, plus it's ability is just so flavorful.
ETA:
Holy hell, I only just noticed you can search your graveyard as well. This card just got 3 times more awesome.

@Tantudo: I really don't think you did that in a draft, since you listed six rares there and I'm pretty sure there's no way you got them with only three booster packs. Even allowing for someone passing you a rare because they absolutely needed some other card, there's no way I believe that someone passed you ANY amount of Adaptive automatons, they work in any deck.
