I really don't like to speak negatively of cards, but it's hard not to with this one. If the "Poisonous Spiders" had charge, stealth, could not be targeted by spells or hero powers, or had at least one more health, this card could be playable; however, as mentioned by other posters, two-damage clearing cards are common in decks and could easily counter this. I understand high-cost cards for Druids because they are able to rapidly acquire mana crystals, but a 5-cost spell with this measly effect is pretty disappointing. If this was a minion ("Webweaver"?) whose battlecry summoned two Poisonous Spiders, this would be an entirely different story. Especially if said minion had taunt, which could increase the chances of protecting its summons.
I certainly hope I open a golden Webweave for a higher dust return!
Stubborn Gastropod is a 1/2 Taunt with Poison for 2 mana. So how the hell is this 5 mana, especially since it is a class card? This is straight up garbage. Also... how many 1 attack minions are you going to give Druid in a single expansion?
This card is getting too much hate, The only thing I would change about this card is its rarity. I would make it an epic for arena purposes. It would also make the strongest synergy of this card even stronger. Sure this card by itself might seem bad, but it can certainly be a (small) part of strong and exciting decks when combined with the disenchant button!
Maybe those spiders have some kind of decent deathrattle? Like, resummon itself or something. Otherwise this card is horribad, reminds me of Ball of Spiders.
A small percentage of people say that this is Meta Defining. Who are these people.
They're surely thinking of the meme meta. This should incite near Purify levels of memes. There are an absurd amount of cards in this set that they just stuck in despite having no chance to be playable, but this one might be king.
Druids have no good removal cards. Anyone running the one bad one they do have is going to get it destroyed by skulking geist. C'mon blizzard, every other class has at least 2 good removal cards, and druid has jack squat and you give them a card worth 3 mana tops for 5 mana.
If it was 4 mana maybe 5 mana to much 3 mana too good. If they had taunt even im not sure i would say its good enough for constructed at 5 mana. Its arena worthy. And i think at 4 mana it would be in a balanced place. As always maybe im wrong but thats what i would say would make it ok. 5 mana its bad outside arena 4 mana its playable outside arena. Arena wise its playable regardless.
There must be something we haven't seen yet.... i hope.
I hope too. Maybe Druid DK is a passive power "play spell for free" with the quest which gives them free minion, maybe blizz want to see what happens when a deck has 0 mana cost ?

Yogg buff (any spell that cant kill him or you or your board buffs him lol). Nobody but him will run it.
Seems like I can really build a spider druid now. Nice.
If these have taunt (not sure yet but I doubt it) then MAYBE they would be playable.

No. Just no. I hate spiders too. Hmm hmm. Nope.

I don't like talking about cards before I actually get to play with them, but oh man, this is the worst card of the set so far
The spiders must have super poison where if it damages the opponents hero they die because this is bad.

Does this count as the rager of the set?
it should.
