It's not that great, but the art is telling me this wants Hold the Gates.

It needs a 1 less mana or 1 more ability (Vigilance) and a bump to Rare and we'd have ourselves a good spider. As it is, Limited uses it as a bomb, but that's about it.

Yay for anti-synergistic abilities on an overcosted body!

The only trampling spider for your spider tribal deck.

Deadly Recluse is approximately 400 times better than this and it's a common. 1/5 rather than 0.5/5 because reach and trample together are kinda funny.

That's pretty bad design if you have to rely on huge-ass spiders to keep your building standing.

You guys are spoiled. Reach and trample aren't synergistic but it was probably done intentionally. It creates tension. And imagine if this had only reach, like Goliath Spider!

It's not the best card, but it's certainly better than a 2.2 star rating.
I see a lot of complaints regarding the fact that Reach insists that you want it to block but Trample insists that you want it to attack... in which I ask, is versatility ever a bad thing? Well, maybe on a 5/5 for 7cmc, but still. Having a creature that is both a decent attacker and a decent defender is nothing to scoff at.

Not to mention the addition of Vigilance. If you use Hold the Gates. you aren't even losing card advantage, as long as your other creatures appreciate Vigilance as much as this big boy.
