Description

Identified as card number 201 in the SPM set, this Rare foil card brings a legendary Spider Boar Hero to the battlefield with a mana cost of {1}{G}. Designed by Jim Cheung and Jay David Ramos, the card captures the playful nature of the character while maintaining the strategic depth expected from Wizards of the Coast. From a gameplay perspective, Spider-Ham, Peter Porker serves as a versatile creature in green decks. Upon entering the battlefield, it creates a Food token, providing players with a resource to sacrifice for life gain later in the game. Its true strength lies in its static ability: as long as you control other Animal types—such as Spiders, Boars, Bats, Bears, Birds, Cats, Dogs, Frogs, Jackals, Lizards, Mice, Otters, Rabbits, Raccoons, Rats, Squirrels, Turtles, or Wolves—Spider-Ham grants them all +1/+1. This synergy makes it an attractive inclusion for tribal strategies focused on animal-based archetypes. Collectors appreciate the foil treatment for its shimmering finish and visual appeal. The card's design emphasizes the character's dual nature as both a spider and a boar, a unique subtype combination that stands out within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Whether you are building a theme deck around animal synergies or simply adding a fun, high-quality foil to your binder, this card offers significant value. Finding specific foil variants like this Marvel's Spider-Man release allows collectors to complete sets with style and precision. The combination of iconic character IP and strategic gameplay mechanics ensures that Spider-Ham, Peter Porker remains a memorable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection.
