Grappler Spiderutility$0.06A cheap green Spider with reach that fills the same defensive anti-flying role. It is slightly larger on the battlefield, but functionally very close as a ground-and-air stopper.Penumbra Spiderutility$0.19Another green Spider that blocks flyers well thanks to reach and leaves behind value when it dies. It serves the same defensive board-stall role at a similar mana cost.Arborback StomperutilityBudget$0.04A green creature that offers solid board presence at midrange mana, though it trades reach for a more aggressive body and life gain. It is a reasonable curve-topper for green decks seeking sturdy creatures.Tangle Spiderutility$0.19A green Spider with reach that mirrors the same flyer-hate and defensive utility. It is much more expensive, but the core role of blocking evasive creatures is the same.Deadly Recluseutility$0.12A classic cheap green Spider with reach that similarly punishes aerial attackers and helps stabilize the board. It is more removal-oriented because of deathtouch, but fills the same defensive slot.Chainweb Aracnirutility$0.18A green Spider that can block flyers and provides graveyard utility later. It overlaps strongly as a cheap reach creature, with extra flexibility beyond simple defense.Arachnoid Adaptationutility$0.08Not a creature, but it grants reach and can function as a green-flavored combat trick or role-player for anti-flying defense. It is a useful budget alternative if you want the reach effect rather than the body.Canopy BalothutilityBudget$0.04A green creature with reach that occupies a similar slot as a defensive body against flyers. It is a bit more combat-focused, but still serves the same board-stabilizing function.
