Seems like Josh is just as big a fan of MasterOfEtherium's comments as I.

I would really like this to damage players, but oh well. Still has epic irony kill on Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief. Also makes me wish Levitation was an enchant player. 7 toughness for makes for an effective wall. and that is really what spiders are for. A role model for its tribe.
My personal favourite anti-air card. Sweep the board of fliers, at anytime you feel. Lovely.
Seven toughness for 5cmc is nice, and the two power is not usually relevant, as it really is a blocker.
I remeber when my friend tapped out for ten, floated 7, Early Harvested, pumped another ten and shot down Emrakul with it. Good times...
Best spider ever, 5/5

In some senses, it's fantastic of course.
However, Defense is just plain different from Offense. You CAN'T run this without Deadly Recluse. that's suicide. The Flying deck you want to kill will just run Fliers that are too expensive for you to kill profitably and Reanimate them faster than you can cast your Spider. So, that's a wee problem. Then the Angers start coming out and making it worse.
Baneslayer Angel or Akroma or Avacyn, on the other hand, can just Win you the Game on their own.
This CANNOT Defend you on its own, or Save Your Life on its own the way the Game can be Won by a loner tank. BUT the good news is Defense isn't LOOKING for things that do that, not really. What it's looking for is ROLE-PLAYERS ON A TEAM.
If your Defense Grid is, say, one of the 1970's-90's versions of the Avengers, then Silklash Spider is going to be as MVP as Captain America, Iron Man or Nick Fury.
Better than Hawkeye. Better than Black Widow. Better than Spider-Man. (LoL at all of those, because Hawkeye's an Archer and the other two are spider XD), As good as or better than Iron Man. Deadly Recluse is like Hawkeye or Black Widow....and let me tell you, pairing up Iron Man or Captain America WITH an Agent of SHIELD on the same battlefield is a very, very sweet board position to be in :) That should be enough to hold the fort until the thing you actually wanted to with comes to the party and THOR or HULK wrecks peoples faces and makes them ask for another. :D

Its a respectable card. Huge toughness and if he untaps could be a complete nightmare for opponents flyers.
Recently I played with this and Yeva, Nature's Herald. Something about flashing this in at end of opponents turn then wiping their board + swinging for 6 screams sexy.

I miss when he was in standard. :( He would own all of those stupid flapping bugs like Chandra's Phoenix that I keep losing to now.
