Dhat Spiders


 * Deck Archetype: Control, Control-Aggro (midrange)
 * Related deck type(s): Dhat Control

Dhat Spiders is a very unit heavy midrange-control hybrid that has a core gameplan of winning the board with high health ambush units, and winning the EXP war to finish games with Dhat's extremely powerful and explosive level 5. Spooky Spider is the king of the kingdom, as the combination of the deadly along with the ambushing spiders and most prominently, the ping ability of Spitting Webspinner allows what is essentially manaless, reoccurring hard removal. Spider Kingdom rounds out the group, giving the deck another useful tool in winning the EXP war as well as giving the deck a much needed option against Flying, which is a natural enemy of generic Dhat decks.

Quotes
"Lutinesque started the Spider craze with his heavy on board, less EXP centric Spider deck which he achieved good results with, and is currently sitting at the 8 spot on the leaderboard. Maniacoak peered into a match showing the strong board control presence of Spiders and decided to make a version that doubled down on getting to level 5 as quickly as possible and abusing the ability to quickly end the match, its has resoundingly worked, being the only deck of the week to cross the 1500 MMR threshold, lapping the rest of the field. Since then the deck has been carefully tuned to round out its weaknesses, and a Heldim meta could potentially loom large, curtailing the power of the Spiders even in spite of the threat of Spider Kingdom."
