Lolth, Spider Queen
3BB
Legendary Planeswalker - Lolth
Whenever a creature you control you control dies, put a loyalty counter on Lolth, Spider Queen.
[0]: You draw a card and you lose 1 life.
[-3]: Create two 2/1 black Spider creature tokens with menace and reach.
[-8]: You get an emblem with "Whenever an opponent is dealt combat damage by one or more creatures you control if that player lost less than 8 life this turn, they lose life equal to the difference."
Loyalty [4]
---------------------------------------------
I think that card could be great in large cubes +630/dee cube with deep aristocrats theme. Moreover, this can be #4 or #5 black planeswalker, better than Liliana, Dreadhorde General, or Ob Nixilis Reignited. Thoughts?
Provided you can buffer her loyalty above 3 by keeping the death count high, she can probably keep minusing for several consecutive turns. There's probably some circumstance where that's valuable.
I like this card. Works well with the black sacrifice theme and can be played in a generic good stuff shell. Low loyalty, but protects herself pretty well against combat to survive and get an extra card or two.
2 2/1 menach/reach is a solid board presence immediately, and an extra card a turn can take over the game reasonably quick.
Would test her, but not confident in how good she is.
I’m consistently disappointed that black walkers are less pushed than other colors. I think you could take away menace from the spiders, decrease her cost by one, and boom, you’d have a competitive black 4-mana cube Walker. But like other black walkers I feel that she’s a bit too expensive for what you get.
I see serious standard implications for this deck with all the sacrifice decks present right now, but I don't feel this is strong enough to crack my 450 unpowered list.
I originally read this as 4BB, so I'm pretty happy with the fact that it only costs 5. 4 power with multiple abilities across 2 bodies for 5 mana that leaves a planeswalker body behind that draws cards is a pretty solid floor ...but even then, my gut says this falls slightly short.
This have been working very weel in my cube. Someone test this? What The results?
I dont replace Lillima 5cc by this, but I bealive this are top5 planeswalker in Black, behind 3 Liliana and maybe 6cc Liliana and can replace 5cc Ob Nilix in large lists.
