Webspinner

Webspinner is a common hunter minion card, from the Naxxramas set.

Generated by
As well as being collected in decks, this card can also be generated by the following card.

Strategy
A solid 1 mana minion that cycles itself with another Beast. The body provided by Webspinner is useful for follow-ups such as Crackling Razormaw or Fresh Scent.

Jeweled Macaw is a similar minion, but offers a card faster, potentially immediately creating a 2-mana Beast for your Mana curve. However, it lacks synergies with cards like Feign Death, Play Dead, and Necromechanic, giving Webspinner an edge in Deathrattle heavy builds.

Shimmerfly is another alternative to Webspinner. Hunter spells are generally more powerful than a random Beast, but Beasts will more consistently synergize with cards like Kill Command and Dire Frenzy.

Trivia

 * Webspinner served to "set the stage" for the later introduction of Unstable Portal and the various piloted shredder minions in Goblins vs Gnomes, employing a similar design but with a far greater degree of RNG. Ben Brode states that players responded "very well" to Webspinner's random generate ability, and as a result the designers "doubled-down" the mechanic for Goblins vs Gnomes.
 * The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Betrayal of the Guardian" series, for the card Blackfang Tarantula.
