![]() ![]() In nature there are many different types of web weaving spiders- there are the orb, funnel, sheet, and cob weavers. It is hard to not notice that during Halloween we decorate our homes and yards with craftily constructed webs complete with spider effigies. Illustration from the Sheet Music of Spider to the Fly (McCurrie & Weber, San Francisco, 1875). Some scientists suggest there are over 42,000 species with many, many more left to be discovered. We do not know the exact number of species of spiders worldwide. ![]() There is even a spider with horns, the Spined Micrathena! The Biodiversity Heritage Library showcased this spider in its Book of the Week: Halloween Special blog post, along with the illustrated 19th century American Spiders and their Spinningwork. They range from the minute pinhead sized Patu digua to the goliath tarantula (Theraphisa leblondi) whose legs can span a dinner plate. The diversity of colors, shapes, and sizes found in ‘Spiderdom’ is astounding. ![]() I suffer from a case of Arachnophilia (love of spiders). , Tarantula, 1955 & Arachnophobia, 1990), and nursery rhymes (e.g., There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly and Little Miss Muffet). One can find pictographs of spiders on the walls of the ancient site of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, as well as references to spiders in mythology, creation stories, folklore, art, jewelry, poetry, literature, songs, medicinal remedies, Hollywood movies (e.g. Without a doubt, we have forged a special relationship with these eight-legged wonders. Spiders have been spinning their webs across the planet for hundreds of millions of years. McCook’s American spiders and their spinningwork, v II, plate I. I personnaly replaced one Fresh Offerings and one Hapless Aristocrat, because I never was able to get 3 Vilemaw on the field and because the Hapless sure is tricky in early game and can apply some mindgame in the first few turns, but I think it's not that relevant, 2 Hapless is enough for these early turns, if you have them in hand in early game.Illustration from Henry C. I mentioned those two cards because i feel like I had more positive results with at least one Neverglade on the field, it can get the aggro on some situations because the opponent doesn't want him on the opposite side, and even if he doesn't to aggro Elise instead, it can save at least 2 more turns sucking the opponent's HP off. It is the RNG law, not gonna cry about it. Rhasa is really cool lategame, but if you don't have it in your hand, welp. But it is true that it can help summon Vilemaw. I mentioned MF/Quinn (how the hell do you make the cards appear in a comment ? That's amazing) because they apply a lot of pressure and can destroy a lot of Spiders with their passive damages/Scout units. Thank you for that complete and very well written answer :) The problem here is that both of them take out one slot in the board that could be used by any spider, and as you can see and read in my Details section, I prefer to have a board full of spider cards alive and buffed to attack. They're great to end games in those situations when spiders have already attacked and the enemy Nexus is left with very few HP. For example, Vilemaw is perfectly capable of closing up games too, being a real threat that's very difficult to deal with if summoned in rounds 3-6.ģ) It is true that both Phantom Prankster and Neverglade Collector combo very well in this kind of deck, to the point that Riot (correctly) includes them both in their own Arachnophilia expedition archetype. And although there's nothing that can be done to save the little spiders, it's possible to replace the dead ones with Crawling Sensation or even use them as "fuel" for Fresh Offerings.Ģ) As some of you have already pointed out in your comments, Elise is obviously both the "boss unit" and the easiest win condition of the deck, but not the only one. I'll reply to your comment point by point, as it is actually a quite interesting one:ġ) "AOE damage" of any kind is the main weakness of this deck, not only Anivia or Yasuo with Intimidating Roar (not really sure why you mentioned Miss Fortune and Quinn here though), but also Twisted Fate's red card, Leveled Jinx's Super Mega Death Rocket!, The Box, Make it Rain, Death Lotus or Chempunk Shredder. ![]()
