I have an Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim edh deck that focuses on big butts, saccing, reanimate and dudes that drop tokens like grave titan. I saw ishkanah, grafwidow and I am huge spider fan so I decided to make her.
Unfortunately for me.. I really don't like the tribal route for her because let's face it, spiders as a tribe suck. So I thought maybe a heavy focus on tokens would be better based on Ishkanah. As I was building the deck... it just felt like my Ayli deck but in green. So I'm just wondering if there is something I can build that isn't tribal spiders and something that doesn't have too many parallels with my Ayli deck.
One of my win combos was to natural order one of my spider tokens into a crater hoof behemoth if I had a bunch of spiders. Also if there are any known BG combos to make infinite mana that be great too. Aside from the usual suspects of rings of bright hearth and basalt.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
