, Sacrifice a spider: Destroy target creature with flying.
Weirding Shaman + Stingshot Widow
So, a goblin warrens... ... ...was that flavour text written at 2am whilst drunk?
Anyway, goblin warrens variant, and a "Green has a problem with flyers, so I'm going to kill them all" spider. Too big to be a common, really; but not completely implausible otherwise.
Something that breeds spiders, perhaps? Gatherer find "Spider token" doesn't exist, which is odd because I can think of at least one.
Something that shoots goblins? Seems a bit specific; still, I could see an elf card for it.
I kinda want the name "Weirding Widow" for the alliteration. (Or Stingshot Shaman)...
When Weirding Widow would ... Wither? Wierding Widow will... want walking with... damn, bad choice of letter to alliterate.
Should Stingshot Shaman suffer Soulbond, show some Suspended Sorceries so .... shucks, stuck... ...
Aha! I have it!
"Split Second - Sacrifice Stingshot Shaman so Spliced Sorceries shall Suspend Six. Scry seven!"
Ok; that was fun. But probably not serious, even for me.
Widow Spider?
Tap, sacrifice another spider you control: Put 8000 0/0 baby spider tokens into play?
Ok, we'll just go with a poisonous spider. Not entirely happy with ending up a Royal Assassin variant, but whatever. I've had my fun in the comments box. Shaman survives only as the 'sacrifice..' part, I guess.
Eh, keep the 'with flying' primarily because I can make a bad flavour text from it. And the limitation pulls it back to uncommon rather than rare; and makes me think I should have stuck with "Wither...
: Fight" and made it green; but black for the name flavour it must be.
Cost.. three seems low, four seems ok. Maybe with limit to flying only it's 3 again... not certain. Stopping now anyway.
Green's fine to get 3/5s at common. Green gets 5/5s at common, though nothing else does except blue.
The Gatherer search term would be "Spider creature token", as on Spider Spawning.
And yes, this looks green to me.
The alliterative sequences were hilarious though. We should do a design challenge to come up with the most alliterative card text.
