Novel take on the spider idea. The trample part is a bit counter-intuitive for a spider, though. Wouldn't having webs around make it harder to trample through?

Mmm... yeah, the flavour doesn't quite work there, I'll admit. Would it still be interesting enough if it lost the trample line? Also, there's a question whether the mechanics of this are too close to Silkvine.

How about giving all creatures lifelink, instead? Sucking life through the web...

Yikes. Life total balloon-o-rama! Also rather out of pie for green, sadly. Vigilance is in the green "crust" of the pie, the bits occasionally seen, so I could possibly replace trample with that.

Vigilance could work, but Trample's more fun. Can't you just reconcept it? If it's not a spider, it'll work better.

I love the name fwiw. How about "Creatures with toughness 1 can't block"? That's weird and I don't know how well it would work, but has some of the flavour of trample, but concept as tangling rather than enabling.

Jack: I think I prefer to keep the symmetry between the two enchantment-style abilities. But alternate concepts for things similar to trample are definitely worth bearing in mind. Chris: I was thinking I needed to keep the Spider type for the anti-flying, but actually, I really don't. I can make this an Elemental or some such (something that makes sense as an Enchantment Creature). That'll help distance it from Silkvine too. Excellent!
