Nearly every card in Time Spiral was a throwback to at least one previously printed card.

This card references the Spike creatures from Tempest block, such as Spike Breeder.

To elaborate on gongshowninja's comment, if you have Kraj out and use the tiller's second ability Kraj will gain the activated abilities of the targeted land. Naturally, this lends itself to shenanigans, the most retarded of which is probably using Thespian's Stage to permanently turn Kraj into a land. Um, yay?

In most cases, graft is more powerful, but spikes can place their counters on creatures (or animated lands) after they've come into play.

They also work really well together if you have a doubling season. You can remove one counter and target either another spike or itself to place 2 counters on it.

Any kind of slug tribe is fine by me! It's nice that Wizards remembered Spikes when the nostalgia block rolled around.

Instead of arguing about how Spike > Graft or the other way around, why not use both? All Spikes have the ability to utilize +1/+1 counters on them and Graft is good at pass them around and provide abilities (like the Plaxcaster Frogling). They make good combos together.

I hate it when all people can only think about is how well things work with doubling season. Doubling season, intruder alarm, and isochron scepter. 3 cards that require no thought at all.

Graft sucks. You can only move one counter when a creature comes into play. These guys can move as many as they want, and at instant speed. Beat that.

I don't like Spikes. They're slugs, and they aren't as efficient as Graft.
