Marvel Champions: The Card Game made a surprise announcement today – they’re adding Spider-Ham as a playable hero to the living card game. While today is April Fools’ Day, the announcement that Fantasy Flight Games is making a Spider-Ham Hero Deck for their Marvel Champions card game is no joke. The anthropomorphic pig variant of Spider-Man will receive his own hero deck later this year, complete with unique mechanics that take advantage of Spider-Ham’s….more unique attributes. Spider-Ham has the ability to generate Toon Counters, a unique resource that can either be spent as a wild card resource to play other cards or used to fuel Spider-Ham’s hero cards. The Hogwashed card allows players to spend a Toon Counter to either deal 5 damage to a minion or remove 5 threat from a side scheme. Spider-Ham can also equip a Large Wooden Hammer that can be further upgraded when a Toon Counter is spent. Several other Web Warriors from other alternate universes also make their debut as Justice cards in the pack.
