Lightning Rods... but... Frogs?

EVERYTHING IS A FROG! EVERYTHING IS A GODDAMN FROG!

This deck's gimmick is to turn the enemy's creatures into harmless frogs and instantly kill them with Gelectrode, Weaver of Lightning , or any of the burn spells you have on hand. This deck was BORN to fight eldrazis, taking down scions and the actual overpowered big guys themselves with incredible ease. It's good at clearing entire battlefields, as well as dealing damage to the opponent without needing to attack.

How to win:

What to watch out for:

  • This deck has few counterspells, and not the best draw power in the world, so it's susceptible to really strong zoo decks and control decks. (Isochron Scepter has been added to help remediate this problem)
  • +1/+1 counters, enchantments, and artifacts can't be lightning-frogged, so swap out cards as you see fit
  • Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, or really any other planeswalker since Awoken Horror   and Ashmouth Hound are the only two creatures that can actually do something against them.

I appreciate all the help you have given me so far to make this ridiculous deck even stronger (JohnnyBoyG I'm looking at you), and if you have any suggestions or questions, I'd love to know!

Thanks, and have a great day <3

Now the problem of running out of spells has been almost completely resolved. Simply exile a Turn to Frog, Chandra's Pyrohelix, or even a Negate, and use it often to feed Thing in the Ice  Flip more quickly, trigger Gelectrode for more damage to the opponent, etc.

NOTE: Isochron Scepter CAN'T USE OVERLOAD, so Electrickery can't be exiled for consistent damage. Seismic Shudder may be able to help though as long as there isn't too much trouble with flying.
