Rationale
4cmc 3/2 legendary that tutors any Aura or Equipment to hand on ETB and gains flying during your turn, making it both a tutor engine and a naturally evasive voltron threat. Signature in equipment-voltron and aura-voltron shells as a combo of tutor and carrier in one body; the flying-only-during-your-turn clause limits its defensive value but still enables clean combat attacks.
Learnings (3)
Sun-Spider only has flying during its controller's turn, meaning it cannot block flyers — it is a purely offensive evasive threat, not a defensive one.

As a legendary Spider Human Hero, it sits at the intersection of three weak tribes in Commander, so tribal synergy is almost never a reason to include it — voltron tutoring is the sole draw.
tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6
The ETB tutor fetches any Aura OR Equipment (not just one type), making it uniquely flexible compared to narrower tutors like Open the Armory, which has the same effect but is a non-creature spell.
