Is Scarlet Spider Worth It?
While not an essential card, Scarlet Spider isa worthwhile investment as he fits into multiple archetypes. Currently, his main drawback is being limited to only one clone, but this can be overcome by buffing him multiple times or hitting him with Arnim Zola.
One reviewer noted, “[Scarlet Spider] is solid; he’s mid-range. He is probably going to work in a lot of METAs. I also see a good and bright future for him.” Scarlet Spider could become one of the most sought-after cards ifa card similar to Odinis introduced to double Activate effects. Nevertheless, even without such additions, he remains a consistent and practical choice in the current metagame.
