Thank you DragonMaster420! It was late when I entered the info. I thought that I had gone back over everything, but I somehow missed that, lol.

I agree that Snakeskin Veil and Revitalizing Repast are interesting options, especially because +1/+1 counters matter so much in Hardened Scales. That said, I would not automatically call them better than Tamiyo's Safekeeping.

The big advantage of Tamiyo's Safekeeping is that it protects any permanent, not just a creature. That means it can protect cards like Hardened Scales, The Ozolith, Urza's Saga, Inkmoth Nexus, Agatha's Soul Cauldron, or a key creature. That flexibility matters a lot. Snakeskin Veil adding a +1/+1 counter is nice, but being creature only is a real limitation.

The idea of dropping red and moving into black is not crazy in theory, but I think that becomes a different deck. Black gives access to cards like Winding Constrictor, Abrupt Decay, and Assassin's Trophy, which are definitely strong. But red is not only here for Whipflare. Red also gives access to Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp's sacrifice ability, which is very relevant for modular lines, The Ozolith, and moving counters around at the right time.

the sideboard has 16 cards in it. i think Snakeskin Veil and Revitalizing Repast would be better than Tamiyo's Safekeeping. if Whipflare is going to be your only red card, you might as well drop the red. black would give you access to Winding Constrictor, Abrupt Decay, and Assassin's Trophy

so is searching for lands via maralen the only way to get 6 mana for nixilis? so unless you draw nixilis before playing maralen, you won't play him until turn 7 because turn 6 will be spent searching for the 6th land. the deck has no removal, and Ghost Quarter is a "may" ability. they can choose not to search. i don't think you really need cards that force the opponent to search. the very first nixilis trigger with the maralen trigger that same turn is already 13 damage, plus any prior maralen triggers, plus a nixilis attack, plus any damage the opponent did to themselves with fetch/shocklands is already enough to win. that space could be utilized for removal, especially if you add another color. most likely red for Lightning Bolt to just speed things along. without removal the maralen hurts you more than it does the opponent, because they'll just stick a creature to attack with and then win that race before turn 7. i think an instant that protects maralen would be more useful than sorcery speed unearth, that way you're not missing a turn of searching for what you need. Revitalizing Repast and Snakeskin Veil protect it while also getting it out of bolt range.

Big butts and some protection in lieu of land ramp that conflicts with some of my other big butts.

I'm really glad to see your interest, and I'm happy to share my experiences and ideas here. The deck works quite well overall, so making major changes is difficult. After our last test night, I made a few adjustments and added some new cards. However, I couldn’t include everything—mostly because I honestly don’t know what to cut yet. I’ll need to play a few more games against different opponents to better identify underperforming cards.

To start, I swapped out Sentinel Spider for Skysnare Spider. Both are dear to me, but Skysnare offers better overall value. I also added Deathsprout—more removal improves defense, and fetching an extra land boosts mana ramp for my bigger spiders.

With a heavy heart, I removed Arachnus Spinner and Arachnus Web. They're fantastic for flavor, but the Web isn’t very effective, and together they take up two valuable slots.

I’ve also expanded Vraska’s influence in the deck—she now takes a place on the battlefield herself. Vraska, the Silencer brings deathtouch, shrinks the opponent’s graveyard, and generates treasures to help with ramp. As for Vraska and the slight snake theme in the deck—although I was hesitant at first, I’ve grown to like it. I can easily imagine Vraska or even Saryth working alongside spiders.

Flavor-wise, the next card might be pushing it a bit, but mechanically Greta, Sweettooth Scourge fits the deck very well. She interacts nicely with Food tokens, improves card draw, and buffs spiders.

Lastly, I added Revitalizing Repast  ^Flip. I couldn’t resist such a solid card—it protects Shelob or other key creatures, provides a buff, and can even support ramp.

To make room, I cut Aquastrand Spider and Scavenging Ooze. The Ooze is strong, but off-theme and not essential here.

As the final touch, I included The Swarmweaver. More tokens and spider buffs are always welcome. I removed Wilt in its place—a good card, but situational, even if it can replace itself.

In the waiting album I’ve got Broodspinner, Nyx Weaver, Graverobber Spider, Attendant of Vraska, Vraska's Fall, Back for More, You Look Upon the Tarrasque, Cairn Wanderer, and Graveshifter. Time will tell if any of them will find a home in the nest.

Hey,

You're right — the deck is still a bit raw and definitely needs some improvements in card draw and mana ramp. Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I actually had some of these cards on my acquireboard already. I’ve now added Moldervine Reclamation and Sol Ring, and took out Serrated Scorpion and Chainweb Aracnir.

I also swapped Gloomwidow for Hoarding Recluse.

I’m waiting to see if Curse of Clinging Webs and Swarmyard become available in my local shop — if they do, I’ll definitely include them :)

Also, I'm still considering a few more cards for the deck, like Back for More, Archdruid's Charm, Obscuring Haze, Fog, Deathsprout, Tear Asunder, Terrifying Presence, You Look Upon the Tarrasque, Revitalizing Repast  ^Flip, Heroic Intervention, Vraska, the Silencer, Graveshifter, Juvenile Gloomwidow, Greta, Sweettooth Scourge, Broodspinner, Graverobber Spider, Nyx Weaver, Spinner of Souls, Worldly TutorGC, Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Triumph of the Hordes, Rotwidow Pack, Sporeweb Weaver, Realmwalker, and a few others...

while i realize that Myr Scrapling can be searched via Ancient Stirrings and Malevolent Rumble, you could alternatively use Snakeskin Veil or Revitalizing Repast  ^Flip as a way to add a counter, that also protects your combo pieces from removal.
