Let me ask you a question: What would Arachnus Spinner look like if it could not only go for Arachnus Web, but could search any aura to drop onto the board. Here you have my answer:
Thoughts on the design? I'm aware it's pretty powerful, but then again, it's an MV6 card, so the powerlevel should be fine, maybe even a little weak.

legendofa: That's right. It would propably feel right at home in a Precon, good catch. The general idea was to have a second copy of Arachnus Spinner with a broader set of cards it could find. Originally, I intended to just get any Aura into play, but that seemed too damn broken. Restricting it to MV3 felt too on the nose in regards to Arachnus Web. But giving the restriction of only giving enchantments to other opposing creatures felt just correct flavourwise. This is how it ended up like this. Oh, and it's an enchantment creature for Ishkanah, Grafwidow.

This feels like it fits into a Commander precon. That's not a bad thing, I'm just trying to work out what sort of Auras you would be grabbing with this thing. The Impetus spells and Vows would be okay. Some stuff like Song of the Dryads and Lignify. (Seriously, what cards didn't get a LotR reprint? I skipped the previews, and now I'm finding the everywhere.) After that, it's mostly white and black control and debuff. Is there a specific interaction you were looking at?
The name is great.
