Gigantic spiders are really cool but at the cost and low abilities, this guy isn't worth playing. Its rather unfortunate for me, I love giant arachnids. Mabye wizards will make a more efficint spider in the future.

I don't understand why someone would want to cycle this

At least it has cycling...?

vengeful rebirth is precisely what this card was made to work with. It is one heck of a combo. Throw in exploding borders and you've got yourself a deck.

I know this spider sucks, but I love him none the less. Something about this spider is cool, so I made an elaborate cycling deck with living end andfluctuator to play big junky fatties like him and Krosan Tusker in some kinda super-cycler deck.

I don't even know why they bother printing green cards without abilities anymore...That's sad and cynical, but it's true. This thing doesn't stand a chance against any decks with removal. Not only that, but even if you kept it on the board, your opponent is just going to chump block it all day, at 7 CMC you're better off casting something like 2 Sable Stags and a Hierarch. I would love to use this guy. Green's the toughest color to play if you don't use tokens or elves or some such. There should be a format where removal cards are banned. That would be fun to play.

This is one big spider! Good for being an attacker and/or blocker. High cost is a negative but at least it has Reach, which is always useful. And as for the Cycling, well...I guess that would be useful in a situation where you will lose on your opponent's next turn or two, and there's only one card that can save you. Good card in a spider-deck.

Creatures with cycle love being in Living End and Living Death kind of decks. Throw in the banned Fluctuator and PWN! Cards like these are mostly good in limited and the occasional reanimate deck. The card's CMC is high because almost all cards with cycle have a higher cost due to the fact that they have.... cycle! You kids remember Miscalculation Swat Expunge Lull Hush Pendrell Drake Rescind Sandbar Serpent and all the Runes of Protection

It fights Baneslayer Angel and Sphinx and lives. Metagame tech. Early game you cycle it if you don't need it. Lategame when mana isn't an issue you just drop it and give sphinx/angel a headache.

Tidus: Because it's seven mana. Many games, especially against red, end before you get anywhere near that. In the early game this is useless, so you cycle it to grab a card that might be more helpful.

I have fond memories of this guy with Spider Tribal; we would cycle with Nature's Spiral like crazy! Good times.

Should have had Spidercycling like Vedalken Aethermage has wizardcycling. It would have made it a whole lot better.

This is like Living End's version of Tarmogoyf, except it costs like $1,000,000 less and makes you look more creative.

Gives Naya defense against flyers and can be cycled. A bit expensive, but I've got no real complaints.
