So this is my attempt at making a B/G deck that revolves a lot on spiders with a pinch of scorpions. At first, my plan was to play a little defensively, pumping out some cheap spiders (Deadly Recluse) and maybe some scorps ( Giant Scorpion ) where their deathtouch would hopefully at least deter early attackers. As the game progresses and the opponent puts down stronger creatures, Stab Wound and/or Doom Blade/Victim of Night can mitigate that problem a little. I particularly like Stab Wound because of the "player loses 2 life" bit. Arachnus Web can also help if ever. Not sure about going on the offensive. I could maybe use Rancor or any of those +X/+X spells (e.g. Giant Growth, Titanic Growth etc.). Imo, the deck is kinda slow and expensive to cast...but I'm out of ideas.

On another note, I really like the idea of the deck revolving around Ishkanah, Grafwidow but I'm not sure how to do so effectively.

Feedback and advice would be much appreciated.
