Ember Weaver is a 3/4 reach spider that gains first strike as long as you control a red permanent — a solid defensive body that punishes both ground and air attacks for three mana. The conditional first strike is easy to satisfy in any deck running red, making this a reliable blocker rather than a niche one.

Ember Weaver is a common, so pauper is where it has the most realistic competitive footing — a 3/4 reach with first strike covers a lot of the ground and air threats that define that format's aggro decks. In Commander, Ember Weaver is strictly a budget option for Gruul or Jund spider tribal builds; outside of something like Ishkanah, Grafwidow or a dedicated spider synergy deck, the rate isn't strong enough to compete for a slot. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern are simply too powerful for a 3/3 vanilla-adjacent creature to matter, and it won't find a home there in practice.
