I have wanted to make a tribal spider deck for awhile and I stumbled across a card called Assault Formation, thus knowing what that card did I was looking for a deck around it. Why not kill two birds with one stone, since spiders have big defense and small attack usually I was thinking I could flip the tables. The only problem is I am unskilled in the art of making crazy decks so I was wondering if all of you could help me? I know I want it to be mono green for the sake of not spending money on lands, maybe be mana ramp green for creatures and spells that give me buffs for toughness since I want the win condition to include Assault Formation being on the field.
Hi
I've seen someone play a similar deck idea. It revolves around Doran, the Siege Tower and treefolk. They had Assault Formation as a redundant win condition for all of their high toughness creatures. I've also seen a deck that just uses those colors and a few useful treefolk. If you don't limit yourself to strictly treefolk you gain a lot of good high toughness cards such as Nyx-Fleece Ram 5 toughness is a big blocker for two mana. Then there are many other cards. If you want to play spiders you're going to have to look around a little harder. Use death touch effects and swarmyard. Go on gather and do some key word searches.
Spiders hide in trees. Sometimes you gott make concessions. But going into white and black also lets you use Ishkanah, Grafwidow, Spider Spawning, and why not Silkwrap. Nyx Weaver can enable delirium with the spider auras, and the spider instants and sorcerys.
I was thinking something like this
4x Sporecap Spider
4x Canopy Spider
3x Penumbra Spider
3x Silklash Spider
3x Assault Formation
Lands
20x Forest
That's all I got

Flavor says something like Arachnus Spinner and Arachnus Web. I was going to suggest Skylasher but for some reason thats a insect, not a spider.
Would it be beneficial to put descendants path in this?
I'll post a deck construction soon I just am not contempt with a deck skeleton yet
