Probably far too complex, I like the idea of a sliver queen for spiders though :D Obv spider spawning has to be a reprint in this set

Paul Hodgson · 2012-09-26 12:22:12

as you say has a bit to much going on maybe the queen should just put them into play and have the other abilities given by her captains or some such

templating

Agree with Glenn that being able to make a ton of Spiders is probably powerful enough without the other abilities. Though they should definitely have Reach already. Cost per spider really should be at least 2 as well since most unlimited effects like this cost 2 mana for a 1/1 and this is way better than that - though more difficult to cast.

maybe 2G for a 1/2 Spider baby with reach Quote - Father Dougal McGuire: Spider-Baby- It's got the body of a spider, and the mind of a baby.

Templating fixes. Also agree that there is a lot going on, and seems really powerful. Compare to Meloku which is totally busted. This doesn't give you flyers, but I would wager the creatures you do get are comparable, if not better once boosted by her abilities. Bumped up the spider creation cost to 2.

Correcting order of symbols in mana cost

Simon O'Keeffe · 2012-09-27 13:47:20

I would put G in the spider making cost, it is still an absolute monster but might make it a little less crazy given that your already in 3 colours

I'm guessing this might actually get thrown out of our set, due it not quite fitting the theme of GUB, but then again we do want to try and have two themes for each wedge/enemy colour pair, so maybe this could be the marquee card for a spider subtheme in GUB?
