Hidden Spider

Enchantment, G (1)

When an opponent casts a creature spell with flying, if Hidden Spider is an enchantment, Hidden Spider becomes a 3/5 Spider creature with reach. (It can block creatures with flying.)

It wants only to dress you in silk.

Illus. Thomas M. Baxa

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

• 10/4/2004: When it turns into a creature, it is no longer an enchantment.
• 4/1/2008: This card now uses the Reach keyword ability to enable the blocking of flying creatures. This works because a creature with flying can only be blocked by creatures with flying or reach.
• 5/1/2008: The ability only triggers if the creature spell has flying, regardless of whether an effect would cause the creature to have flying once it entered the battlefield.
• 8/1/2008: A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature is subject to the "summoning sickness" rule: It can only attack, and its {T} abilities can only be activated, if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of his or her most recent turn.
