"Whenever an opponent casts a spell" should be wordfiltered to "When playing EDH and an opponent casts a spell". I guess they justify the powerful effect stapled to an exceedingly efficient creature by the hefty colour commitment and the colour combination ( Red

has some of the most efficient creatures. I love you Rumbling Slum! Basically a 6/5 for 4 that pings you for 1 each turn...).
TL;DR: Going in Ulasht EDH.

In my oppinion, it should have been;

Reach
Other Spider and/or Insect creatures you control gain +1/+1
Whenever an opponent plays a spell, but a 1/1 Spider Creature onto the field
5/6

It would have given me a lord creature that I could have infidelity more possibilities in a Spider tribal. It SEEMS like they made this to boost the power of Spider tribal decks with the surgery it has with Ember Spider, Swarmyard, and other Spider cards, but it just feels like it fell down and is used more for cards that rely on multiple creatures on the field because it spawns Insects which don't gain bonuses at all from spider related cards D:

Still, a great card that I'm going to run 1 or 2 of in my Green
