Card number 758 features the character known as Virtuous Variant, identified in-game as a Spider Human Hero. This card is designed for players who appreciate both thematic flavor and strategic utility. With a mana cost of two generic mana and one white mana, it enters the battlefield as a creature with a power and toughness of 1/2.

The artwork is created by Tyler Walpole, bringing a visual interpretation to this Spider-Hero design.
