Rationale

2cmc 2/2 legendary that ETBs with a Food token and grants +1/+1 to an unusually broad list of creature types (spiders, boars, bats, bears, birds, cats, dogs, frogs, jackals, lizards, mice, otters, rabbits, raccoons, rats, squirrels, turtles, wolves). An extremely wide anthem that covers most green creature archetypes, but requires meaningful density of those creature types to justify the slot. Best as a commander in a Universes Beyond "animal" tribal mashup; the on-cast Food provides minor lifegain utility out of the gate.

Learnings (3)

  • Spider-Ham's 'Animal May-Ham' anthem covers 18 distinct creature types, making it effectively a flexible tribal lord for most green creature strategies — arguably the widest named-type anthem ever printed on a 2cmc creature.

  • Because the supported types include rats, wolves, birds, cats, and spiders, Spider-Ham slots naturally as a commander for multi-tribe 'zoo' green strategies even without a dedicated spider or boar sub-theme.

    tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6

  • The ETB Food token is a minor but real upside in any lifegain-payoff shell, giving Spider-Ham marginal synergy with cards like Trudge Garden or Brenard, Ginger Sculptor that reward Food creation.
