This works well in multiplayer, but, its way too hard to build around in pack 3. You're either picking it up because you're red/green or you're playing the Sovereign deck.
I think this is a bad choice for the set.

It is being reprinted in the Planechase Anthologies kit later on also. There will now be 5 Variants of this card by the end of the year. It is not in short of reprints. It's like $5. If a casual even knew about this card they'd probably buy it outright. Not hope for a reprint.

EDIT:
I think they missed a shot at making Ishkanah a really cool thing by not functionally reprinting this in Black/Green or just mono Green to make a Spider token. Let supplemental and the standard support the casual. A cohesive property propping up the different formats and allowing players the chance to see the threads and build on it.
As good as this card is in EDH, it really ******* bothers me that it doesn't make spider tokens, and they could have made a flavorful reprint of this card that made spider tokens with reach instead.
I've never really been a fan of the Spider, perhaps more so for the lack of Spider tokens more than anything else, but if I'm playing G/R I usually want something with a greater impact on the overall board. A few 1/1 tokens with no reach or other abilities before the Spider gets targeted has always been very meh for me.
Still, I'm glad that Wizard's has reprinted this, as I know some folks who will be happy to see the price of this card drop off so they can grab a playset or two.
Why don't they just print verdant force? It was much more welcomed, and it's strong in edh
Probably because Verdant Force has 6 paper printings and Dragonlair Spider has 2, one of which being in an extremely limited product. This allows foils to be much easier to obtain, and Verdant has 3 different foils.
