Pit Web Guardian
Mineshaft Spider from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a solid green answer against flyers and evasive attackers. Mineshaft Spider carries Reach and a 3 over 4 body for {3}{G}, which makes it a dependable blocker in midgame positions. Its enter the battlefield trigger lets you mill two cards, a small self mill that can fuel graveyard synergies or thin the deck for a top deck later on.
In limited play this creature stabilizes combat and trades up against common air threats. In constructed graveyard builds the milling is a subtle accelerant that complements reanimation and delve strategies. The card reads cleanly and plays predictably which is why experienced players slot it when they need a reliable defensive piece that also advances a plan rather than just sitting on the battlefield.
