Didn't really expect that many spider-fans here! Usually people are always saying things like 'ah I really can't stand spiders', or ' such nasty things', or just 'quick, a spider.. kill it!' :'(.
But wow! Next milestone will probably be 100 likes then, which is also getting pretty close.
I've replaced Door of Destinies with Necropotence and Vampiric Rites with Sylvan Library, this should improve draw considerably. The door was nice but a bit underwhelming because it relied on casting spiders - Coat of Arms, for example, works much better so we're keeping that in. Vampiric Rites was... well, I'm not really sure why I thought that was a good idea to begin with. It probably has its uses, but not here.
Am now thinking of saving for a Doubling Season, which I'll probably remove Fecundity for.
Referring to you thoughts on Fecundity, perhaps Greater Good? It could help with delirium. I know that a lot of spiders are low powered, but you do have some anthem effects in here and some of the bigger spiders. It is a 4 drop though.

I had considered Greater Good, but the "discard 3 cards" is a real setback, and I don't really need it for the delirium as that comes along nicely. My anthems tend to get removed fairly quickly as they give me a serious advantage, so I decided to run Fecundity because it lets me draw without having to discard, I also don't have to rely on anthems to boost my (e.g) 1/2 spiders to power 4+ and I still benefit if something dies, it's cheaper CMC, and most importantly, less likely to be removed as it benefits all players.

I'm sure it's a matter of price range, but I couldn't see Doubling Season mentioned :)I love tribals, especially when they are fun and viable, and this is the best Spider one I've seen so +1 for sure :D
I sat down trying to make a Ooze tribal but it didn't go too well, ended up with a theme at least though.Would really appreciate some suggestions on it Icky Genesis
Keep up the awesomesauce :)

Haha yeah, the price of Doubling Season is definitely an issue. While Primal Vigor does essentially the same (albeit for every player), the extra counters could be useful for Black Market and Door of Destinies. I would probably replace my (e.g) Conjurer's Closet, should I happen to get my hands on a doubling season. I can only imagine the interactions when all spider-doublers are in play.. * sigh *
I have 0 experience with oozes! but it does seem interesting.. and sticky. I'll take a look :D

I recommend replacing Juvenile Gloomwidow with Deadly Recluse because I hear deathtouch is good or something.

Yeah, Deathtouch is kinda good.. but I don't like the Deadly Recluse that much (as I mentioned in an earlier comment from August). And the Juvenile Gloomwidow was given to me by a friend (who found it in his pile and remembered I studied Japanese) so normally, your suggestion would be valid, but I guess it's a personal choice. :)

I love Ishkanah and might do a deck with them sometime too as I do own a foil one that I opened from a Elditch moon pack. Anyways what do you think of Lifecrafter's Bestiary possibly in this deck?

If Lifecrafter's Bestiary would've worked with Enter the Battlefield, absolutely auto-include - as I mostly make tokens. But it works on Cast, which makes it pretty much useless in this deck.

Spike Weaver would be a good add and adds some protection?
