Notes and Rules Information for Hidden Spider:
  • Only the English version of a Magic card receives Oracle updates and errata. View this card in English. (Scryfall note)
  • When it turns into a creature, it is no longer an enchantment. (2004-10-04)
  • This card now uses the Reach keyword ability to enable the blocking of flying creatures. This works because a creature with flying can only be blocked by creatures with flying or reach. (2008-04-01)
  • The ability only triggers if the creature spell has flying, regardless of whether an effect would cause the creature to have flying once it entered. (2008-05-01)
  • A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature. (2008-08-01)
