From its derivative, I got rid of Parker's Spider-Man and added Hobie's Spider-Man. Parker had the multi 3-resource cost and while Across the Spiderverse would work well with avoiding that, I felt Hobie's exit ability could potentially do some late game, second phase damage (especially to Ronan) so bringing him back would be potentially better.

I know that over 40 cards can be a hassle trying to get the cards you want, but with Petulant Pig, drawing cards shouldn't be an issue at times. So I added Command Team to ready allies at key moments (with 3 counters), especially being able to milk Nick Fury's use before he's discarded or defeated at the end of the phase.

Same idea with adding Go Down Swinging x2. If Hammy likes to recycle and stack on allies, rotating Last Stand and Go Down Swinging (both 0 cost) will utilize extra damage where it's due when you get those cards.

I played really well in multiplayer with the Ronan Goes Vegan deck, and I don't see how this deck won't make it THAT much more bonkers. If it works solo, then even better.

You might wanna put Spider-Man back in. You are Spider-Ham with 3xClarity of Purpose and 2x The Power in All Of us, so you can easily pay the requirement. Plus you have 1xAcross The Spider-Verse and 3x Make the Call, both of which avoid his cost requirement entirely. He's trivially easy to play with this deck, and roughly infinitely better than every other Ally ever printed. xD

I see the appeal, being able to ready Web-Warriors, and it can be used with other people playing Ham (and I may add him back after a trial run). Remember though, having Clarity of Purpose x3 means it has a greater chance of showing up early, not that it can be equipped three times. I don't know for sure if there's an FAQ that says Make the Call avoids his cost requirement because it says pay the printed cost which TECHNICALLY is printed on the card, but whether or not it just makes you pay the 3 resources.

Ultimately I feel if I could pull and play the Triskelion early on, I'd definitely bulk up with Parker, since Ham can be a draw heavy hero and having ONE more card/ally couldn't hurt.

I feel obligated to check, you realize that Spider-Ham himself is a Web-Warrior, right? Spider-Man's primary purpose is to ready your hero.

Yes, you can only have 1 Clarity of Purpose on the field, but each use of Clarity deals 1 dmg to Ham which means gaining a toon counter. This allows you to easily stack toon counters on Spider-Ham which themselves can be used as any resource. So, if you have a Clarity on the field, you are almost guaranteed to also have a toon counter, at that point, you have 2 wilds and can discard any other energy to pay for Spider-Man. (Granted, you cannot use the toon counter you gain from Clarity to also pay for the same card Clarity is paying for, but even then as long as your hand has any 2 difference resources, Clarity can be the 3rd.)

Yep, I'm aware. And like I mentioned, I could take him or leave him because I see his value. But anyone else would be potentially missing out if they didn't include him. I wasn't able to get my Organic Webbing out in time during my last battle that would make him more useful to ready Ham and thwart the hell out of the schemes. I am though trying to play this Leadership deck like it's an Aggression deck, with Ham as my meat shield (pun intended) to rack up toon counters. I'll give it a few runs with and without both and maybe I'll add it back to the decklist.
