Thanks for the suggestions, medozzz !

I'll swap out Increasing Ambition for Jarad's Orders, thanks!

Mind Stone is also a great call, but I'm not sure what to cut for it.

Arachnoid seems kinda... bad. It's great for delirium, but that's about it. I prefer to have a 3/5 for 5 than a 2/6 for 6.

As for Wayfarer's Bauble, I usually prefer to play that in non-Green decks. It got me thinking though, that Harrow would be great here since it puts two card types in the graveyard. I'll be making that switch. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

It also got me thinking about enchantments that fetch lands in green. there's Font of Fertility and Omen of the Hunt. Omen actually seems quite playable as a flash card that also lets me scry.

Hi, Spidybros forever. Iskhanah is one of my favourite deck. As I read I think it is hard to reach delirium in your deck.

I suggest trying some artefacts and enchantments which go to the graveyard. Seal of Doom, Wayfarer's Bauble, Mind Stone.

Tutorwise I think Jarad's Orders is better than Increasing Ambition to reach delirium. Arachnoid is better than Mammoth Spider due to delirium.

I love Conjurer's Closet as Ishkanah spider generator and the cool infinite combos and damage based board wipes.

Your Ishkanah looks better than mine. I have some ideas to improve.

Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + Ishkanah, Grafwidow with Delirium = infinite spider tokens and colorless mana. Just a note here, you need to put Ishkanah in the graveyard for this to work.

Buried Alive can be useful, especially if you use Arachnoid and Nyx Weaver. Those will be the only spiders I suggest because of multiple types for Delirium.

Filth can be fun if you don't mind throwing in a non-spider.

Crop Rotation can help get certain nonbasic into play while Swarmyard can protect a spider in certain situations.

Arachnoid, Defeat, Grappler Spider, Somberwald Spider, and Woolly Spider I'm not thrilled about, and should probably be cut for some more lands or other cards. You're gonna want more than 32 lands in this deck.

Also, may I recommend Scute Mob? Spiders gotta eat, and this bad boy is an unlimited supply of food that'll make your opponents say "No, stop."

Found some more eggs:

"found one!" Icy Manipulator

"5 nicely colored" Gemstone Array

"I hid it behind that tree, and it grew (l)eggs" Arachnoid

I've been looking at building an Ishkana deck, too. I was looking at mine from more of an online place, budget-wise, but I checked out the differences between our decks, and I think there are quite a few budget cards that would help: Tree of Tales and Vault of Whispers both net two types when milled. Vessel of Nascency was a standard in Standard Delirium, since it immediately puts and enchantment in your graveyard. Syphon Mind and Harmonize are both great value cards. Millikin is a great fit in Ishkanah decks, since it can ramp, chump to put two types in the graveyard, and mill, all on its own. Commander's Sphere is the same. It can ramp you from 4 to 5 mana and cycle to fuel delirium as early as turn 4. Foul Renewal should be pretty powerful in this deck, and I had Sight of the Scalelords and Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper for the same toughness reasons. Finally, the piece of tech I'm proudest of is Champion of Stray Souls. If you're already milling creatures into your graveyard, then sacking 3 1/2 spider tokens for 3 real creatures is fantastic, especially since you can let Ishkanah go to the graveyard be be re-risen with fresh tokens. If you move away from budget options, I also think Buried Alive is a good choice. Choosing Arachnoid, nyxweaver, and a fattie, you get Delirium and a reanimation target. I also included a land tutor package. Here's my full list: Spiders.

Thanks Bou, appreciate the feedback. Would love to add Basilisk Collar and Swarmyard, but they are both a little pricey. (as you can see this deck is pretty low budget). I like the Asceticism and Tower Defense suggestions too.

I have a few of the buff all creatures cards in the maybeboard, want to see how it plays without them first.

The Arachnoid I've had mixed feelings about. 6 for a 2/6 seems steep. I get the Delirium aspect of wanting him in there tho. Again I think I may playtest without and if I think I need some more cards to help with Delirium, I'll seek that out.

My first impression is that you could use some more ramp e.g. Explosive Vegetation, or Harrow, but perhaps playing green so much lately has left me spoiled.

I like what you're doing with the deathtouch, but keeping it strictly spiders does make it more difficult. If you're interested in adding more you could consider Touch of Moonglove or Basilisk Collar.

I'd remove Regeneration as it's too much of a single use with low play value in my opinion, but if you really want to regenerate, maybe Swarmyard? You could also combine Regeneration and Steely Resolve by getting Asceticism. (These cards do cost a little bit more though)

For attacking, you could use Overrun, Overwhelming Stampede, or Beastmaster Ascension. And if you're going to rely on Assault Formation, Tower Defense is a cheap buff you could also throw on.

Also, try to get an Arachnoid, if you put it into your graveyard it counts as two card types, makes Delirium easier :).
