Urza’s Destiny common. What makes a spider a spider has been getting a lot of public attention lately. While mechanically the ability to block fliers is probably what most players would link to the creature type, there is also a strong history of having higher toughness than power. Aside from newcomer Aquastrand Spider (who is a mutant, after all), only Root Spider and Plated Spider of the 15 spiders printed so far have equal power and toughness. The biggest anomaly (literally!) is Goliath Spider, which actually has a higher power than toughness.
