Hello, everyone! Let’s discuss this week’s new card release: Spider-Ham!

Spider-Ham
1/1
On Reveal: Transform the highest-cost card in your opponent’s hand into a Pig, keeping its Power and Cost.

What do you think of this card? Do you think it will see widespread use? Will we start seeing more and more Agatha decks? Let the discourse begin!

    Personally, I think this card could be a really effective disruptive tool. A good upgrade (or sidegrade) to Iceman, obvious synergy with Moon Girl, would likely be a terror in a Bounce deck. Infinaut could see a resurgence since it would remove his T5 restriction. I just don’t know if I should buy this one or wait for Spidey 2099 next week tho…

      I think ham will be about as useful as iceman. A good 1 cost to throw in any disruptive deck. I was also debating on ham vs spidey 2900 but I think I’ll get ham since I don’t play move decks very often. Right now I’m a few hundred tokens short so I have a few days to see ham in action before i decide.

      Also I would assume ham would just keep targeting the pig in your opponents hand if you use it multiple times since the pig is likely to remain the highest cost card. Maybe I’m wrong but I’m not sure that using ham in bounce or with moon girl is as good as you’re suggesting.

        I was thinking about that too, but I’m sure there are plenty of cases where it would be a good play- early, then late-game disrupt; could have synergy with Doc Ock; screwing over Apocalypse; would be a terror for bounce, Cerebro, and any other deck with a lot of similarly-costing cards.

        Honestly I don’t really play move either but if Ham isn’t quite worth it I might start haha.
