I was very tempted to make the white activation tap for 1 life, merely so someone could feel like a boss by casting this and gaining one life the turn they played it for . I suppose tapping a creature for will have to do... which I suppose is likely to happen in a few drafts. I can imagine plenty of non Red/White decks being okay with a 2/3 tapper for and .

Or a 2/3 haste creature for ! sadface

Having the symbol on some but not all abilities seems unaesthetic.

True. I seem to be suffering from the clever designer blues myself. The second person to agree with you dude, gets me to remove it and I'll make the card something else. If someone disagrees with you, instead, I keep it. Oh the power!

Oooh! I feel giddy with the power!

Personally; I think "Tap; gain haste" is hilarious ;) But worded as "As an additional cost" would make sense and seem less out of place somehow.

I... am somewhere in between. Slightly inclined to agree with dude, but not entirely clear-cut. I'm reminded of the way Gruul Guildmage and Rakdos Guildmage had additional costs on one of their abilities and not the other, which felt rather unaesthetic at the time, but was probably necessary.

(I also feel that the creature type of a red-and-white-affiliated creature shouldn't be Spider. Spiders in Magic are green.)

Heh. I'm going to assume the grumbles mean that people would prefer it to change into something equally interesting. I figure this does that. I also changed from a spider to a net-lauching construct. It's funny how entrenched in green spiders are. I like to mix things up where it can be appropriate, but, man, spiders just don't wanna be nothing but green. Mabye black... but it's got to be dripping with flavor.

Yeah, this is probably more sensible. Looks pretty bad next to Thundersong Trumpeter or even Blinding Souleater, but meh, a set's gotta have some dubious cards; and a "tapper" is good enough in Limited that this will still be occasionally useful.
