Webbed Gatekeeper
Mineshaft Spider is a practical choice when you need a reliable blocker that also advances graveyard plans. This Near Mint Foil printing from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan presents the card exactly as you expect in play. For four mana you get a 3 4 body with Reach, meaning it trades favorably with flyers while standing as a steady deterrent to air assaults and a solid presence on the battlefield.
The enter the battlefield mill two clause converts this spider into more than a blocker. It smooths draws, fuels delve and dredge lines, or seeds a graveyard for recursion. Play it on curve to shore up the midgame or drop it behind a ramp play to turn opponent flyers into awkward attacks. The card reads cleanly and is straightforward to slot into green decks that prefer efficient interaction and graveyard synergy.
