Spider Ham

[hatani]

Am I missing something ? What the point of this card ?

[VastGirth]

Disruption card. Wipes out the abilities of your opponents big hitters and game-enders for a very low cost. Negates Galactus for example. Could be really annoying if used multiple times.

[Blind Reverend]

Tested it today, whiped zola, knull and 2 times galactus for the cost of 1 Power.

Really great card, that fits any deck, but might get higher costs in future updates due to balance issues.

Ok, kinda one shot Leech but usable multiple times with Falcon and Beast and maybe Mordo to add a 6 card 100% ... got it, thanks both <3
If you know, if there are several 6 power cards and 1 already pig transformed, it will prioritize non pig cards at equal power or it will still be full random chance to hit non-pig card the second time you play Spdier-ham ?
Last, thanks Snap to put this 1983 character Peter Porker in the game, amazing ^^

I think the point is to make sure everyone packs Infinaut in their decks.

It's a serious WTF were they thinking card. Yeah, you can play a deck that drops multiple smaller cost cards on T6, but they can always hit your Sera with the pig and/or Wave T5 to shut that down. It's ridiculously undercosted for the disruption it creates.

I turned a pig into a pig one time, but I don't remember if that was my opponent's only card in hand.

Whenever i have re-activated the ham, it has always turned a pig into a pig. Doesn't seem worth doing a second time...

The art only is worth it; a pig in Spider-Man costume with a donut in his hand, Must buy!

But the card is fun and very strong against some decks. You shouldn't be able to see the card you transform, I bet they will remove that interaction in the future.

Maybe, but its confirmed as intentional for this card. And something they are experimenting with.

"We’re trying it out. It can be dissatisfying to play a card like Iceman and never know if it mattered. However, we acknowledge it is a meaningful strength addition."

I know it's intentional but I feel the information is too much. The effect is already really strong. If you don't see what you hit with cards like Leech and Iceman, I don't thibk you should see it with Spider-Ham.

Knowing that they can't play Death, Galactus or Doctor Doom, for example, add a lot of power to the card. But they are right, it wouldn't be as satisfying to play otherwise.

We'll see, It's only day 1. :)

I agree. Too cheep for what it does.

[Drakemane]

It was a glorious game when i porked opponents knull,destroyer and galaktus. In that order too.

[chaosek]

Fun card and cheap too. However I haven't seen someone actually play the pig while the card I hit wouldn't be as badly affected or even better after being turned into said pig. So just to check, the animation shows a 4-0 pig, but the text says the cards keeps it power and cost. So does it do the latter?

But Yondu does show you. Its far more satisfying to play when you know what you have hit

I'd prefer a nerf to 1/0 than to remove this effect.

His ability is way too strong to leave him as a one cost. All you currently have to do is hold him til turn 4 or 5 and drop him followed by Wave to kill your opponent's T6 play.

Definitively more fun when you know what you hit. :)

The more I play with Spider-Ham the less I think it's a powerful card. It's good sometimes but many times the card it transform doesn't care about that.. you waste one energy and you used a card spot in your deck for that. But maybe that is because it's the launch day and people are already adapting their decks to counter him.

The text disappear (like when Leeched) but the card keeps it's energy cost and power. For example if you hit Galactus, he'll become a 6/7 pig, But it seems to keep it's current buffs. For example if you hit a Hulk (High Evo version) who is already 6/16 due to his ongoing effect, the pig will be a 6/16. A bit surprising,
