Ettercap // Web Shot

Ettercap // Web Shot was released in 2022 as part of the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The card is a double-faced token card, designed to represent the Ettercap creature on its front and its associated Web Shot ability on the reverse. This set was specifically developed to integrate the lore and characters of the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms campaign setting into the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem, aiming to provide a draftable experience that mimicked a tabletop role-playing session.

The card was illustrated by Wisnu Tan, who utilized a dark, atmospheric style to capture the predatory nature of the Ettercap, a spindly, spider-like creature common to the Dungeons & Dragons bestiary. The design reflects the tactical, modular nature of token-based play within the Commander format, where players often require physical reminders for temporary effects or creature summons. Like much of the set, the card was received as a functional tool for Limited play, praised for its clear visual language that differentiates it from the primary deck cards.
