It's also really easy to just Zap yourself in red. But if anything, I'd say this was underpowered. A 4/2, that can't block, in common, would probably cost .

Oh; nice mechanic. Cards in hand to power it up, but it also makes opponents somewhat reluctant to kill the creature because you get them back.
With flash it's really quite strong. Without it... that second ability is kinda annoying to work with.
For 4 mana, this could definitely be a 2/2 (wishing to a 3/3).

Possibly slightly too easy to get the trigger; especially for black. But even then it's not too broken - 4/2 for 3 in 3 colours.
Seems like a perfectly reasonable mechanic. You just can't really tie it to anything huge.
removed "can't block"
changed name
Does this need flash, or is it fine as is? Also, could this be a 2/2?

The first results tell you that it's not actually a spider.
Camel Spider, Sun Spider... seem like spiders to me.
But they're not spiders.
Um, spider is a valid creature type though?
reduced cmc from 5 to 3
no longer exiles attacking creatures ueot with the possibility of perma-exiling them. New card. Also reduced CMC by 1.
With Wishpowered out of red there's not much purpose for a hellbent-like ability, so that was remoed for a new ability.
increased cmc to 2 by adding , removed algebra, added wishpowered and +1/+1 counter-related ability
