They come back as Food artifacts, not creatures — this is about denying recursion, counting artifacts, and banking life. Time it after multi-creature trades for maximum haul.
Key synergies

Every opposing creature card returned by Supper for Spiders enters under your control as an artifact, so Fateful Discovery draws a card for each one.
After chapter I kills an opposing creature, Supper for Spiders can immediately return that card under your control as a Food, converting the Saga's removal into an additional resource.
Creatures exiled by Settle the Wreckage never enter the graveyard, so Supper for Spiders cannot turn them into Food artifacts despite both cards appearing to reward a large combat exchange.

Gnashing of Teeth's -1/-1 sweep can put opposing nontoken creature cards into the graveyard for Supper for Spiders to return. This does not work on Recruit or other tokens because they are not creature cards and cease to exist, while Gnashing's targeted -5/-5 mode exiles creatures it kills instead.
The Food artifacts created by Supper for Spiders provide expendable sacrifice fodder for Gollum's graveyard-recursion ability without costing you creatures.
