About Obelisk Spider
Obelisk Spider, Creature — spider, designed by YW Tang first released in Jul, 2017 in the set Hour of Devastation and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's a key card in 1 combos.
A deck focused on -1/-1 counters and life drain effects, such as a Golgari or Jund deck in Magic: the Gathering, would benefit from including Obelisk Spider. It synergizes well with other cards that distribute -1/-1 counters, allowing for incremental life gain and opponent life loss. While there may be more powerful cards with similar effects like Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons or Nest of Scarabs, Obelisk Spider can still be a solid inclusion in the right deck as a consistent source of life gain and damage potential.
Rules
07/14/17
If Obelisk Spider deals combat damage to a creature at the same time Obelisk Spider is dealt lethal damage, its first triggered ability will put a -1/-1 counter on the other creature. However, because Obelisk Spider has left the battlefield before that ability resolves, its last ability won’t trigger.
07/14/17
If Obelisk Spider deals combat damage to a creature but that creature isn’t on the battlefield as Obelisk Spider’s first triggered ability resolves, most likely because Obelisk Spider killed that creature already, that ability won’t put a -1/-1 counter on it.
07/14/17
In a Two-Headed Giant game, Obelisk Spider’s last ability causes the opposing team to lose 2 life and you gain 1 life.
04/18/17
If a creature with wither or infect deals damage to a creature, the controller of the creature with wither or infect puts that many -1/-1 counters on the second creature.
