I have lots of fond memories of this card from when I started playing. Very solid cost and it disrupts evasion.

He/she is like Giant Spider's little brother (or sister) ^_^
I would have looked at it differently if I was playing during pre-M10 days, before Lightning Bolt was brought back. Even with it back, having one extra toughness over Deadly Recluse can still have its implications.
Otherwise, my mind goes "take Grizzly Bears, add reach, subtract one power and add one toughness." and makes a pleasant sigh at the fairness of the card. In a vaccum, it can also block Grizzly Bears with neither creature being destroyed, which is interesting to me.

Aaron's Random Card Comment of the Day #14, 10/14/10
If you’ve been following the tone of my Random Card Comments over these first few weeks, you might think that I wish we hadn’t printed any cards at all. There’s something wrong with every single one of them! We don’t know what we’re doing!
It’s not that bad, really. I’m typically very supportive of the cards as we’re making them, and then very critical of them once time has pássed and I have some perspective. If you play enough games, watch enough games, read enough articles, build enough decks, crack enough boosters, talk to enough people, and just go back and stare at binders or old player’s guides or Multiverse records like I do, eyes always open, you’ll find imperfections, most tiny, some glaring--lessons you hope to apply to all the future cards and sets and rules changes and ancillary products you work on. Most cards and sets and mechanics have imperfections; the key is not to despair over them but rather to file t... (see all)

I think this spider is cute but not so strong.
but he can block some flying creatures very good because he has good defence.
you don't neccecary need very much creatures to have the best use of it.

Handy for stopping flyers.

I prefer Deadly Recluse. Yeah, it can get Shocked (which in the days when Lightning Bolt wasn't Standard-legal, was a problem), but red doesn't have many flyers for me to worry about anyway.
