CARD UPDATES

Spider-Ham

[Old] 1/1 – On Reveal: Transform the leftmost card in your opponent’s hand into a Pig, keeping its Power and Cost.

[New] 1/2 – Activate: Replace the text of a random character in your opponent’s hand with “oink!”

Spider-Ham has had a lot of weird interactions that we’ve been looking at resolving for a while. Most notably, the base Cost and Power of the Pig always had the same value, so behaved unintuitively for many players with cards like Shadow King and Mobius M. Mobius. It targeted the leftmost card in hand to avoid being too strong and frustrating to reuse with Beast and the like. That mostly worked well, but meant that build-around cards that start in hand like Thanos got disabled every time, which many found frustrating to play against. Finally, Spider-Ham was intended to partially disable cards, but with the introduction of skills it was suddenly making cards useless much more often.

A few of these factors came to a head with Dormammu’s release, so we prioritized the behind the scenes work to allow us to replace card art during gameplay without fully transforming the card and took the opportunity to iron out some other issues. We also hope the new shape will give Spider-Ham players a bit more ability to influence which plays they aim to stop.

Nonfunctional Changes

We’re rewording these cards to be more consistent with other card text, but their gameplay isn’t changing. Note: analogous rewordings may not show up immediately in non-English languages.

Silk

[Old] 2/5 – After ANY card is played here, this moves to another location.

[New] 2/5 – After ANY card is played here, move this to another location.

Moon Girl

[Old] 4/5 – On Reveal: Duplicate your hand.

[New] 4/5 – On Reveal: Copy your hand.
