Turn to Frog (Magic 2012) - Community - Gatherer

There are no comments yet for this card.

Odd that it's currently rated slightly higher than Ovinize. I guess giving it the Frog creature type totally makes up for leaving it with 1 power. =)

Could come back to bite you if your opponent's playing Frog Tribal, though. :p

Alternately, play a couple Adaptive Automatons and name Frog. Then play Turn to Frog on your non-frog creatures. Sure, they may laugh now, but just you wait...

Combos well with 1 damage cards (Gore Vassal, Chandra, the Firebrand, etc.).

A lot better than Diminish as it removes pesky trigger abilities.

My son has been giggling over this card ever since I showed it to him since one of his favorite cards is Ovinomancer.

This is one of those cards that just makes you smile when you look at it.

"This card was designed to match the art. Interestingly, the art was originally commissioned for an Esper spell back in Shards of Alara block—you can kind of see a subtle hint of etherium filigree shapes in the fallen armor. The card was killed, so the art didn't get used in that block, but we held onto it, knowing that the art would work fine on a more setting-neutral core set card—and here it is. Given the art, designing what the spell did was pretty straightforward. "

Also compare to Lignify, Ovinize, Humble, Diminish, Snakeform, Sudden Spoiling, Serendib Sorcerer, Vhati Il-Dal, and, of course, Omnibian.

First, The best flavor text ever is obviously on Distress!!

"Of course I'm sure I've gone mad. The little man who crawled out of my eye was quite clear on this."

Regardless of the flavor text, playing control in limited this card is absolutely bonkers!!! Turning any creature you want into a 1/1 frog you can step on, after they have already declared who is attacking... Are you kidding me? I can turn Blightsteel into a frog and kill him by blocking with my memnite... uh um OK!!!

The best use of this that I have had so far is to turn my grave titan that someone cast act of treason on into a 1/1 frog... Sorry!!
