Reach and Trample are kind of conflicting, given that trample requires an attack and reach requires it to be untapped on your opponent's turn. Given that, I think it's a tad overcosted.

Reach on a Trampler is like Shadow on a Defender. It's just kinda comical and not really all that helpful.

This...isn't very good for an uncommon. The two abilities kind of clash with each other and the casting cost is too high for what it does. All of this is especially sad because Green is usually THE color for low casting cost creatures.

Who cares if the abilities don't synergize? Does every card have to follow the same narrow rule? What's wrong with having options?
If you want to attack, you have a 5/5 trampler. It's bigger than most creatures and dumps any excess on your opponent. If you have to block, you have a 5/5 with reach. It's bigger than most creatures, flyers in particular, and will eat most anything sent its way. If anything, the abilities synergize with his size.
That, and he's bleedin' adorable. I like him.

RTR had a weirdly large number of lousy green "bombs." I opened like two of this guy and two of the randomly huge deer, I think I used one of this guy in my golgari. He does just kind of sit there shouting "limited."
What really gets me about the design of this card is that RTR brings in this mechanic of 'creature gets keyword if you have a gate' and this art would have been just -fantastic- for a 'reach if you control a gate' creature, which makes all the flavor sense. He still wouldn't be good, but the flavor would be more delicious. As is... well you can kinda see all the comments by people who felt very uninspired by this spider.

This creature can synergize with White in limited RTR via Knightly Valor and Swift Justice. Although, it still hasn't made it to my limited maindeck before.
