I vote for KeeperofManyNames. Honorable mention goes to Dr_Demento. I think both did really well in presenting the horror trope of spiders erupting from inside of you. With Keeper's card, I particularly liked the originality of having it be a player, instead of a creature, being eaten.

Same for me, including giving myself an honorable mention.

Really this round felt like a dozen variations on the same card, and none of them felt very interesting. I wish I had actually put that GIF in my post. Keeper had an interesting take though (I kind of wish that the controlling player was also in danger og being eaten by spiders though)

Spider creatures you control have "when this creature enters the battlefield, you may destroy target flying creature."

Although you changed the name I vote for your entry.


I wish I had made a flash foliage type of card maybe with a bigger effect putting multiple spiders into play with deathtouch blocking multiple creatures. As others have noted there aren't really any great entries. I do like the name eaten by spiders but it was challenging to create a card that really lives up to that name (as we can see by the entries).

Are you serious right now? A lot of times I feel like people who have been on the forums and been friends for a long time are constantly just turning everything into a circlejerk, and this is a good example. What could possibly compel you to vote for this other than knowing who made it?

I vote for Mown's card, it's terrifying. Like the creature struggles against the webs while being consumed.

Morbid - You may instead place three 1/1 spider tokens with reach and wither on the battlefield, if a creature has died this turn.

I don't get 'eaten', even with morbid. Not a bad card.

Cast Eaten by Spiders only during your turn and only during combat.

Spider creatures you control gain deathtouch until end of turn.  Non-Spider creatures you control gain defender until end of turn. (They can't attack)

At the end of this phase, put a 0/2 Spider token on the battlefield with reach and a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the number of creatures that died this turn.

Overly complex, narrow, and you pretty much end up with a 0/2 unless their about to die anyway.

Destroy target non-artifact creature. Put 3 1/2 green Spider creature tokens onto the battlefield.

I can get on board with this, but it's dull. When trying to impress with a name (ie, top down) a Violet Pall card isn't going to do it, even if this one does get three power six tough and kill a guy for 5.

When you control X or more Spiders, where X is enchanted creature's toughness, enchanted creature's controller sacrifices it.

Flying hate with black up is disappointing. An interesting death trigger that's pretty neat.

More Pall action, but this one's insane. Instant speed graveyard neutering plus kill a guy plus get a billion dudes plus no flavour. I like the concept.

Next upkeep seems unnecessary, and the drawback of casting nly if you control makes the fact it costs 4 kind of suck, though this one is well put together.

Flavour gold, and this is a favour contest really. (Well that's how I see it). Spiders grow in it until it dies! It's actually eaten by spiders. The reason I liked this one over Dud's was elegance of wording - Dud's granted the ability to h creature, while it's cleaner to have it on the aura. Well costed and actually in color.

This is cool flavourfully, but questionable from a color perspective for me. It doesn't seem at all black, and flying wipe s pretty hardcore, even for green.

See, this is also good, I was just looking at more flavour, and the tapped target restriction seems potentially pointless, though it is functionally relevant.

The trap is a neat touch, though I'm not a huge fan of the very specific 'replace guys if you get wrathed'. But otherwise neato.

Hey, a neat concept. This is overall too powerful though, as it makes all your guys pretty resistant. To everything, as well as swarms. The presence of black is not necessarily required here either.

Thanks. As for the next upkeep, it's supposed to show the spiders growing... in hindsight I would've liked this better. (And it's more towards my original design back in the day.)

At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may exile that creature card from a graveyard. If you do, you may have Spider tokens you control become 2/4 black and green Spider creature tokens.

Territorial, agile, and extremely hungry.

You get to block with them as 1/2 with reach, but when you attack with them, if they've eaten their dinner, they can become 2/4.

I agree that this card is cool, but as worded is confusing. Is each exiled card getting you a 1/2 spider, or is only the creatures exiled via tapping a spider?
Also, it shouldn't really be hybrid. is fine.

Though Imi says it's repeatable LD, it's really not (Psst, Imi... nonland permanent 8^p) it is possible toturn that into LD with counter manipulation, but nevertheless this is by far my favorite.
