Enchantment Creature — Spider1 generic manaBlack manaGreen mana

This self-milling Spider sits at the intersection of two graveyard philosophies that usually pull in opposite directions. Most cards that fill your graveyard treat it as fuel: delve, threshold, escape, a pile of resources you spend down. This one feeds the yard and then offers to spend itself to buy a single card back out of it, exiling its own body in the process. The strategic axis lives in that split. The upkeep mill is unconditional and recurring, so the graveyard grows whether or not you have a use for it; the recursion clause is the pressure valve, a one-time draw from the pile that costs you the blocker. Reach matters more than it looks on a 2/3, because a body that wants to sit back and tick the library down each turn needs to survive the air, and a Spider that walls fliers earns its keep while the yard does its work. The design reads as a deliberate middle path: not a dedicated mill engine, not a pure self-mill enabler, but a frame that does a little of both and asks you to decide when the second half is worth ending the first. Black-green has long been the recursion-and-resources color pairing, and this is a clean expression of it: a single three-mana body that generates the resource and then sells you the way back to it.
