Penumbra Spider

Description

The Penumbra Spider, designated as card number 210 in the Time Spiral expansion, remains a recognizable presence within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2006, this common rarity creature card features a distinctive foil finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors and players alike. From a gameplay perspective, the Penumbra Spider offers strategic depth through its unique triggered ability. When this creature leaves the battlefield, it creates a 2/4 black Spider creature token with reach. This mechanic allows players to maintain board presence even after the original card is removed, making it a valuable piece for decks focused on spider tribal strategies or token generation. The card’s mana cost of four mana, requiring one green and two generic mana, positions it as a mid-game threat that can be played consistently in green-based decks. Collectors often seek out Time Spiral cards due to the set's nostalgic connection to earlier Magic eras. The time spiral theme of the set resonates deeply with long-time players, making cards like Penumbra Spider particularly meaningful for those who appreciate the game's history. The foil treatment adds an extra layer of desirability, distinguishing these copies from their non-foil counterparts in the same set. Whether you are building a competitive deck, completing a collection, or simply admiring the intricate design work of Jeff Easley, this card represents a solid addition to any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast's inventory.
