About Thantis, the Warweaver

Thantis, the Warweaver, Legendary creature — spider, designed by Jehan Choo first released in Nov, 2016 in the set Treasure Chest and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 9.70.

A deck focused on forcing opponents to attack, such as a political or group hug deck, would benefit from using Thantis, the Warweaver. While the card's ability to make all creatures attack each combat can be a double-edged sword, it can also be used strategically to pressure opponents and grow Thantis. However, there may be better options for a similar strategy, such as Gahiji, Honored One, which incentivizes opponents to attack each other rather than you, potentially providing more value in a multiplayer setting. Thantis could see play in a specific meta where forcing attacks is advantageous, but other cards may offer more consistent benefits.

Rules

07/13/18

If a creature can’t attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come under that player’s control that turn), then it doesn’t attack. If there’s a cost associated with having it attack, the player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t have to attack in that case either.

07/13/18

You can’t attack yourself or your own planeswalkers to give Thantis +1/+1 counters, but Thantis appreciates the way you think.
