One power off of Ovinize, but just as hilarious.

Hilarious! Polymorph effects are how Blue should kill creatures, and this one is great - and I love the flavor text.

@_Silence_ :
Actually Mutantman understands the rules quite well. "Lose all abilities" would not remove an effect that gave the targeted creature +1/+1 until end of turn, nor would making it a 1/1 cause it to lose the bonus, because effects that set power and toughness are figured before any effects that add or subtract from power and toughness. And if an enchantment aura says "Enchanted creatured gains " then Turn from Frog will remove that ability until the end of the turn, even though it's still enchanted, you apply the effects in timestamp order, so in the case of your frogged creature enchanted with flight - it loses flying until end of turn. But an enchantment that does something to the enchanted creature itself rather than giving the ability to the creature still works, like Firebreathing or any enchantment that adds power/toughness. So when he said it can be confussing, he wasn't expressing ignorance of the rules, but rather the difficulty in explaining the rules interac... (see all)

This type of card can easily create awkward, confusing rules scenarios. For example, I attack with Benalish Veteran. You block with a 1/2 Merfolk Mesmerist, then cast Turn to Frog. Whoops, Benalish Veteran's pump is applied after it becomes a 1/1, so it still eats your Merfolk. Ouch. If you Turn to Frog a creature enchanted with Spirit Mantle, it'll lose protection but keep the +1/+1; if I Mighty Leap it later in the turn, it'll still have flying. If you Turn to Frog a creature enchanted with Lure or Firebreathing, the abilities still work, but if you Turn to Frog a creature enchanted with Lifelink or Flight, they don't.
The flavor and execution of this effect are great, and it utilizes a powerful fantasy trope, so I like the card; however, it's a shame that it creates so much unintuitive complexity. Uncommon is the cor... (see all)

Eldrazi Player: GO ELDRAZI SPAWN swing with all of your might!
Elf Player: How futile, I will block with my Llanowar Elf which will take zero and deliver the pain required to kill your spawn!
Eldrazi Player: The thing you didn't know is that I cast Turn to Frog on my spawn making him a vicious amphibian capable of slaying your Elf!!!
Elf Player: Wtf!!! 0_o

The best flavour text is Null Rod's. Hands down.
