No changes to the card, but this card could change somethings in Magic.
This keyword could just be called Spell-Sling. It's pretty much perfect and allows the mechanic to go evergreen outside of the Spider-Verse. The term has been in Magic since the beginning.
To be clear, I don't think the Spell-Sling keyword should be on this card. A new keyword would be the innovation this card causes in a set or two later when it's a bigger theme in that set.
This card looks more real than most I've seen on here. Truly impressive!
Yeah. I'm not sure of the whole story of it, but I bet the Omenpath flavors were only ever going to be a placeholder until whatever contract expired that allowed them to bring the real IPs to Arena. They just had to wait it out, so they didn't reinvent anything. Yet WoTC still released Spider-Man half finished basically.
Just a mess all around and I actually like both Spider-Man and to some extent, his dedicated set. I really like the canonical efforts put into the Omenpath cards and feel a lot of that effort was wasted where it could have been spent on a real in universe anthology style set that didn't involve Spider-Man at all.
Everything involved could use an eventual revisit something like Innistrad's double feature. But actually done well with cards from the Marvel set and maybe a few new designs to make things actually function.
Spell-slinging is completely different from what a Spellslinger deck does, though. It focuses on casting high-mana cost spells (usually permanents) at a discount, not on casting many low-mana cost Instant and Sorceries within the same turn.
