What I Ultimately Built Show

Ishkanah is great and i absolutely think she will see plenty of play in standard, however, i don't think you should play bad cards like Swift Spinner or Skysnare Spider just because they are spiders. Ishkanah is good because she brings a lot power and toughness and is hard to remove, but the activated ability is just a bonus, not a reason to build a deck full of spiders. If you get to the point in the game where you activate Ishkanah's ability, it will usually win the game in short order, regardless of the exact number of spiders.
What you should do, though, is make sure you always have Delirium once you cast Ishkanah, because without it she is not very good. I suggest you play at least 3 Ishkanah, 2-3 more Mindwrack Demon, Dead Weight and/or Vessel of Nascency, 1-2 more lands, preferably Westvale Abbey  Flip, and the full 4 Evolving Wilds. Grapple with the Past also seems solid, but i don't see the use of Explosive Vegetation, you don't have any cards at 7+ mana. You could think about Ever After or Eldritch Evolution.
