Changes: Frog

Revision as of 13:44, 7 February 2020

For the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime character, see Frog (character).

"Frog" (ガエル Gaeru) is an archetype of WATER Aqua monsters that debuted in Cybernetic Revolution. This was both the first WATER archetype and the first Aqua archetype. The archetype is used by Princess Rose in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. The "Toad" series is a related series of monsters that support the "Frog" archetype.

Design

True to their their name, the general design of "Frog" as well as the related "Toad" monsters resemble their real-life counterparts. Some "Frog" monsters like "Flip Flop Frog" and "Poison Draw Frog" showcase their long, sticky tongues in their artwork. Most of the "Frog" and Toad monsters have distinctive colorful markings on their bodies and heads, most notably "Swap Frog", "Dupe Frog", "Beelze Frog", and "Ronintoadin".

Some "Frog" and Toad monsters resemble angels like "Treeborn Frog, while others resemble demons like "Beelze Frog" and "Swap Frog". This thematic resemblance to angels and demons is further highlighted by the contrasting half-angel, half-demon appearances of "Substitoad" and "Tradetoad".

Etymology

The Japanese name of the "Frog", Gaeru archetype derives from a voiced form of the word for "frog", Kaeru, which in turn is used for the names of "Toad" monsters. In most of the TCG, Gaeru is translated to words for "frog", while Kaeru to words for "toad" to avoid ambiguity. In the Portuguese version, however, the reverse is true: "Frog" is translated as "Sapo" (which in fact means toad), while "Toad" is called "Rã" (frog). In the Japanese version, members of both the "Frog" archetype and the "Toad" series have their name be puns based on Gaeru/Kaeru and various expressions, chiefly verbs, that happen to have gaeru/kaeru as part of them.

Playing style

Though with weak stats, "Frog" monsters are very versatile and their effects include rapid Summoning, the option to increase their ATK or protect themselves from destruction, and wiping out all cards the opponent controls, with "Des Croaking". Many "Frog" cards have low Levels, which lets them benefit from cards like "Gravity Bind", "Wetlands", "Pride of the Weak" and "Graceful Revival".

One card that kept "Frogs" versatile and powerful was "Substitoad", but after Frog FTK won the 2010 World Championships, it was Forbidden, so many "Frog" Decks lost their supreme speed.

Before "Monarch" monsters gained support through recent years, they were commonly combined with monsters like "Treeborn Frog", "Swap Frog" and "Ronintoadin", that could provide fodders for the Tribute Summons. This granted them popularity and competitive viability and the Deck became known as Frog Monarch.

Another popular combination is "Sea Lancer". It can equip itself with as many banished Aqua, Fish and Sea Serpent monsters as possible, which raises is ATK by 1000 and those targets can be easily provided by "Ronintoadin". It can send an equipped monster to the Graveyard to prevent its destruction and by sending a "Dupe Frog" or "Poison Draw Frog", it is possible to prevent a loss in card advantage, by drawing a card or search/retrieve a "Frog" monster.

In 2016, with the Invasion: Vengeance Booster Pack, the archetype gained its boss monster, "Toadally Awesome", a very solid Xyz that is able to negate the activation of cards and effects, steal the negated card, Special Summon a "Frog" monster from the Deck and retrieve a WATER monster when it is sent to the Graveyard. Combined with the "Paleozoic" Trap Cards, that can Summon themselves from the Graveyard as Level 2 Aqua monsters, the Deck rapidily gained popularity and competitive relevance, which later resulted in "Toadally Awesome" becoming Limited in the OCG.

Weaknesses

Cards such as "Zombie World" can be used to prevent "Toadally Awesome" from being Summoned. Card effects that banish cards that would be sent to the Graveyard, such as "Masked HERO Dark Law" and "Dimensional Fissure", greatly hamper the strategies of "Frog" Decks..

Trivia

"Froggy Forcefield" is not a "Frog" card, because it does not have 「ガエル」 in its Japanese name. "Slime Toad", previously known as "Frog the Jam", is also not a "Frog" card because of its Japanese name, and was renamed to clarify this. Until that erratum, all cards that mentioned a "Frog" monster had the sentence "except 'Frog the Jam'", which made that monster become a meme among players.

-'''Frogs''' are a series of cards identified by having "Frog" (ガエル) in their name. "[[Frog the Jam]]" is excluded since it is not a genuine "Frog" monster.  They are all [[WATER]] [[Aqua]]-Type monsters, making them the first [[Archetype]] of [[WATER]] attribute and [[Aqua]]-Type. They debuted in the [[Cybernetic Revolution]] pack. [[Princess Rose]] uses this archetype in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]] Anime.
+"'''Frog'''" (ガエル ''Gaeru'') is an [[archetype]] of [[WATER]] [[Aqua]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] that debuted in ''[[Cybernetic Revolution]]''. This was both the first WATER archetype and the first Aqua archetype. The archetype is used by [[Princess Rose]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. The "[[Toad]]" series is a related series of monsters that support the "Frog" archetype.
+==Design==
-Though weak, Frog cards can unleash devastating effects that include rapid summoning, the option to increase their ATK or protect themselves from destruction, or wiping out all cards the opponent controls.  Many Frog cards are very low in level, which makes them benefit from "[[Wetlands]]" as well as cards such as "[[Gravity Bind]]".
+True to their their name, the general design of "Frog" as well as the related "Toad" monsters resemble their real-life counterparts. Some "Frog" monsters like "[[Flip Flop Frog]]" and "[[Poison Draw Frog]]" showcase their long, sticky tongues in their artwork. Most of the "Frog" and Toad monsters have distinctive colorful markings on their bodies and heads, most notably "[[Swap Frog]]", "[[Dupe Frog]]", "[[Beelze Frog]]", and "[[Ronintoadin]]".
-With the addition of [[Light of Destruction]] and from then on, Frogs are even more powerful with "[[Froggy Forcefield]]" to counter attacks, "[[Substitoad]]" to get out more Frog monsters and prevent them from being destroyed in battle, "[[Unifrog]]" able to make direct attacks, and "[[Wetlands]]" powering up most Frogs a considerable amount. Others include [[Dupe Frog]], [[Flip Flop Frog]] and [[Swap Frog]].
+Some "Frog" and Toad monsters resemble angels like "[[Treeborn Frog]], while others resemble demons like "Beelze Frog" and "Swap Frog". This thematic resemblance to angels and demons is further highlighted by the contrasting half-angel, half-demon appearances of "[[Substitoad]]" and "[[Tradetoad]]".
-Another card that is helpful in a Frog deck is "[[One for One]]" from the [[Raging Battle]] set, which will allow you to get "[[Substitoad]]" onto the field faster, so you're not wasting a Normal Summon or Set to get "[[Substitoad]]" out.
+===Etymology===
-[[Ancient Prophecy]] set came with card that boosted the Frog deck.
+The Japanese name of the "Frog", ''Gaeru'' archetype derives from a [[wikipedia:Rendaku|voiced]] form of the word for "frog", ''Kaeru'', which in turn is used for the names of "Toad" monsters. In most of the ''[[TCG]]'', ''Gaeru'' is translated to words for "frog", while ''Kaeru'' to words for "toad" to avoid ambiguity. In the Portuguese version, however, the reverse is true: "Frog" is translated as "Sapo" (which in fact means ''toad''), while "Toad" is called "Rã" (''frog''). In the Japanese version, members of both the "Frog" archetype and the "Toad" series have their name be puns based on ''Gaeru''/''Kaeru'' and various expressions, chiefly verbs, that happen to have ''gaeru''/''kaeru'' as part of them.
-* [[Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord]] - This card protects all face up level 3 or lower monsters on your side of the field from being destroyed by battle or card effects, every Frog (aside [[Des Frog]] and [[D.3.S. Frog]]) can be shielded by this card for a single round. Like [[Waboku]] but also protecting from effect destruction.
+==Members==
-The [[Stardust Overdrive]] set includes one new card:
+{| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center"
-* [[Moray of Greed]] - This card allows you to return two water type monsters from your hand to your deck to draw three cards. This is useful for returning Frogs that you would rather Special Summon with [[Substitoad]]'s effect such as [[Poison Draw Frog]] or a second [[Substitoad]]

+==Playing style==
-The [[The Shining Darkness]] set includes another new card:
-* [[Reverence Toad]] - While not a Frog card, a player can remove a Frog from their Graveyard in order to Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. This can be used to Special Summon another Frog by [[Substitoad]]'s effect. By using [[Substitoad]]'s effect twice (once on [[Reverence Toad]] and again on the Special Summoned monster) a player can use [[Reverence Toad]]'s effect again immediately. The downside to this is that you are removing many Frogs from play. This card also is called "[[Des Frog]]" while on the field.
+Though with weak stats, "Frog" monsters are very versatile and their effects include rapid Summoning, the option to increase their ATK or protect themselves from destruction, and wiping out all cards the opponent controls, with "[[Des Croaking]]". Many "Frog" cards have low Levels, which lets them benefit from cards like "[[Gravity Bind]]", "[[Wetlands]]", "[[Pride of the Weak]]" and "[[Graceful Revival]]".
+One card that kept "Frogs" versatile and powerful was "[[Substitoad]]", but after ''[[Frog FTK]]'' won the ''2010 World Championships'', it was [[Forbidden]], so many "Frog" Decks lost their supreme speed.
+Before "[[Monarch]]" monsters gained support through recent years, they were commonly combined with monsters like "Treeborn Frog", "Swap Frog" and "Ronintoadin", that could provide fodders for the Tribute Summons. This granted them popularity and competitive viability and the Deck became known as ''[[Frog Monarch]]''.
-==Playing Style==
-Frog decks use the Field Spell [[Wetlands]] that will increase the [[ATK]] of all level 2 or lower Water Aqua monsters by 1200. You can use [[T.A.D.P.O.L.E.]] (Which will also give you 2 more) or stalling Frog cards like [[Substitoad]] along with [[Dupe Frog]] or [[Flip Flop Frog]] and [[Treeborn Frog]] to defend in order to build up combos. For example, [[T.A.D.P.O.L.E.]]s can power up your [[Beelze Frog]]s to 2100 ATK, a pretty high attack for a level three monster. Since Frogs are all low-level, you can use cards that benefit from this, like [[Pride of the Weak]] or [[Graceful Revival]]. Also [[Mermaid Archer]] is good with frogs due to that all frogs except for [[Des Frog]] are level 3 or lower. [[Star Boy]] is critical if you want to power up your frogs in a flash; even by itself, with the [[Wetlands]] support and its own ability, it becomes a 2250 [[ATK]] beat-stick.
-[[Big Wave Small Wave]] can be useful for bringing out [[Des Frog]] from your hand.
-[[Water Hazard]] is another powerful Spell that can allows you to Special Summon frogs from your hand.
+Another popular combination is "[[Sea Lancer]]". It can equip itself with as many banished Aqua, Fish and Sea Serpent monsters as possible, which raises is ATK by 1000 and those targets can be easily provided by "Ronintoadin". It can send an equipped monster to the Graveyard to prevent its destruction and by sending a "[[Dupe Frog]]" or "[[Poison Draw Frog]]", it is possible to prevent a loss in card advantage, by drawing a card or search/retrieve a "Frog" monster.
-[[Fishborg Blaster]] and [[Deep Sea Diva]] are good tuners to include in a frog deck, due to their ability to be easily special summoned to the field and the fact that they benefit from [[Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord]], [[Water Hazard]] and other water support. [[Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier]] is also another prime choice for a tuner to be used in the deck, due to his ability to benefit from [[Wetlands]]'s effect, turning him into a 2500 beat-stick.
-==Frog OTK Decks==
+In 2016, with the ''[[Invasion: Vengeance]]'' Booster Pack, the archetype gained its boss monster, "[[Toadally Awesome]]", a very solid Xyz that is able to negate the activation of cards and effects, steal the negated card, Special Summon a "Frog" monster from the Deck and retrieve a WATER monster when it is sent to the Graveyard. Combined with the "[[Paleozoic]]" Trap Cards, that can Summon themselves from the Graveyard as Level 2 Aqua monsters, the Deck rapidily gained popularity and competitive relevance, which later resulted in "Toadally Awesome" becoming [[Limited]] in the OCG.
-===Froggy Fusion===
-A possible OTK is to Tribute Summon [[Des Frog]] when at least 2 [[T.A.D.P.O.L.E.]]s are in your graveyard, then use [[Des Croaking]] to destroy all cards on your opponent's side of the field and the attack for 5700 damage with the 3 [[Des Frog]]s. It is very possible to [[OTK]] this way, especially if you have at least two [[Beelze Frog]]s on the field, which will make a total of 9900 damage. To summon [[Des Frog]] you may need to stall, so use [[Treeborn Frog]], [[Froggy Forcefield]], and other good defense and tribute-material cards.
+{{Decklist|Recommended cards
-[[D.3.S. Frog]] works great with the Quick-Play Spell Card [[Super Polymerization]]; Tribute Summon 1 Des Frog and get your other two. Then, use a [[Des Croaking]] and attack with the 3 Des Frogs. Finally, use [[Super Polymerization]] and attack with [[D.3.S. Frog]] for a One Turn Kill
-===Frog FTK===
-Another OTK is where you have 1 [[Swap Frog]], 1 [[T.A.D.P.O.L.E.]], 1 [[Des Croaking]], 1 [[Des Frog]], and 1 [[Solidarity]] in your hand. You discard T.A.D.P.O.L.E. for Swap Frog (special summon), then send another T.A.D.P.O.L.E. from the deck to the graveyard with Swap Frog's effect, then tribute Swap Frog for Des Frog to special summon 2 more Des Frog, activate Des Croaking, play Solidarity to increase each Des Frog to 2700 ATK then attack for 8100 points of damage. (2700+2700+2700=8100)
-===Amphibious Froggy Beatdown===
-This deck is one feature that is included as a standard part of a Frog Beatdown Deck (see next section).  The key monsters are three [[Submarine Frog]]s, [[Substitoad]] (to bring them out), [[Wetlands]] and [[Junk Warrior]].  [[Junk Warrior]] will have over 8000 attack, which is normally an [[OTK]] in itself by just attacking an opponent's monster that is in face up attack position, but you can clear the field with either [[Junk Warrior]] or your [[Submarine Frog]]s and [[Substitoad]], then attack with either.  A possible way to clear the field, if you're doing well with [[Substitoad]], is to get out a combination of up to three [[Des Frog]] or [[Reverence Toad]] or [[Dupe Frog]]s and use [[Des Croaking]], then tribute the [[Des Frog|Des]] or [[Dupe Frog|Dupe Frog]]s for your [[Submarine Frog|Submarine]]s.
-===Zombie Frog Mill===
-This interesting strategy requires [[Zombie World]], one or two [[Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower]]s, [[Substitoad]] and any other monster.  Make sure you've got everything on the field, then [[Tribute|tribute]] your random monster with [[Substitoad]].  This will summon a [[Zombie]] [[Type|type]] Frog, activating [[Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower]]s' effect to mill 2/4/6 or your opponent' cards.  Tribute the new Frog with [[Substitoad]] and repeat until game!<br/>
-With one [[Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower|Bone Tower]], you will need 17/18 Frogs in your deck, which is easily possible.  With two [[Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower|towers]], you need about 9 Frogs.  Check the [[List of "Frog" monsters]] to select up to 25 copies of Frogs. To reduce the number of frogs required, you can use [[Pot of Avarice]] to recycle some already sent, while gaining more cards in the hand.
-Additional ways to help this idea include using [[Terraforming]],[[An Owl of Luck]] and [[Demise of the Land]] to help get [[Zombie World]] out. [[One for One]] can [[Special Summon]] [[Substitoad]] out of the deck. If you discard [[Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower]] for [[One for One]], you can use [[Book of Life]] to revive it. If you [[Special Summon]] [[Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower]], [[Inferno Reckless Summon]] can pull the other two from your deck, hand, or graveyard. With a bunch of luck, you can activate this on your first turn if your opponent has a monster in their graveyard and one face-up on the field.
-===Dragon Frog Exodia===
-This strategy uses [[Substitoad]], [[DNA Surgery]]/[[D. Tribe]] & [[Super Rejuvenation]] to draw through your entire deck in one turn in order to cause a win condition using the 5 parts of [[Exodia]].
-First get the [[Substitoad]] & Type change on the field, then after playing [[Super Rejuvenation]] tribute enough frogs to draw the rest of your deck during the endphase.
-Like most frog combos, use [[One for One]] and such to get [[Substitoad]] as fast as posible, and from there setup the rest of the 3 card combo. Other cards that could be used are [[A Cat of Ill Omen]] to search for the Type Changing traps, as well as [[Magical Mallet]] / [[Hand Destruction]] to allow controlled drawing through the deck, in order not to lose any parts of [[Exodia]].
-Bear in mind that when you tribute [[Poison Draw Frog]] or [[Dupe Frog]], their effects do not activate.
-* You can use Swap Frog to send them to the graveyard from the field to activate their own effects, however they will not actually be 'tributed' and therefore will not count for [[Super Rejuvenation]].
-==Frog Beatdown Decks==
-Keep in mind that, into a Beatdown deck, [[Wetlands]] is much more important than into a OTK deck. Make sure you use 3, and at least one [[Terraforming]]. Not drawing Wetlands can be a huge problem.
-Using [[Flip Flop Frog]] is also crucial, as you can easily clear the field every turn as long as he's not destroyed, and can also be a powerful beatstick with [[Wetlands]].
-Although not a frog, [[Penguin Soldier]] can be a great help. You can use it to return 2 monsters on the field for a direct attack, and it gains the attack boost for wetlands.
-Ancient Prophecy also added some great new support for low level water monsters including [[Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord]] to prevent your frogs from being destroyed by any means. This is particularly useful against [[Lightning Vortex]], [[Mirror Force]] and [[Torrential Tribute]]. Also, [[Moray of Greed]], while a powerful card, is skippable as it's better to use [[Pot of Avarice]].
-Since a combo of 2 [[Dupe Frog]]s or a [[Dupe Frog]] in defense position and a [[Substitoad]] essentially renders your opponents attacks completely useless, your main worry is monster destruction.  It is therefore essential to include cards to negate this, such as the aforementioned [[Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord]] or [[Destruction Jammer]] from the Light of Destruction set.
-If you want to incorporate Synchros, [[Junk Synchron]] works well as almost all frogs are level 2 or lower, but [[Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier]] is one of the best tuners for Frogs. Not only is he the strongest monster affected by Wetlands, he also has a powerful stalling effect. You can easily summon [[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]] using [[Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier]] and a [[Mother Grizzly]] or two of any level two monster. [[Junk Warrior]] is probably the best synchro monster for a Frog deck to to his gaining the attack of every level 2 monster on the field which means Wetlands makes him incredibly strong if you have at least one frog on the field.
-Finally, it should be noted that a Frog deck is excellent at quickly filling the field with monsters thanks to its ability to lock down the opponents attacks.  This makes it an ideal deck to include some very powerful monsters, as you will be able to easily summon even monsters requiring three tributes.
-Another potentially beneficial card would be [[Divine Dragon Aquabizarre]], who can easily replenish your [[Wetlands]] supply with a simple Frog tribute.
