This token was 🔥 but it was also really funny whenever I cast Chainsaw and targeted it during that event

Was cleaning up my photo library and stumbled on this Cat Warrior token I drew for @xjcloud.bsky.social at RCDC again 🐱

Depending on your thoughts about UB cards in your cube Curie bangs as an enabler that’s also just a serviceable Ophidian

It should’ve been in more of my packs if it wanted a higher rating

Thank you for joining me in my latest examination and analysis into the frogs of magic the gathering. I’ll be back next time I get a tattoo probably, with for froggy arts to peruse. Until then… watch The Owl House. Or Knights of Guinevere. Also play Monster Hunter. 🫡

And the grand finale, back to the basics, keeping it classic, the perfect specimen of a frog card. Aced the art, aced the flavor. Really optimized card. 8.5/10.

Another miss from my first sweep of Bloomburrow, this art does rule. I love Portal, and I love frogs. Very fun and silly art. 7.5/10

I’ve never looked closely at this art of show and tell before but it’s genuinely just me and @ayseneinart.bsky.social. I show you my frog you show me your shark. The perfect relationship. 10/10.

Big. Frog. Big. Frog. Big. Frog. Part 3. Maybe 4? Idk my leg hurts. 6.5/10

Good monument to the glory of frogs. Unfortunately I had to draft this set for the Pro Tour and I died to this card about 9 billion times so I’m docking it some points. 6/10

I think I rated this one back in the day too. I properly called everyone a coward for saying “can I say something” about what is like 90% just a thick human woman. Needs to be more frog. And have the frog god type line. Despite all that, still kinda rips tho. 7.8/10 not enough frog.

HEY YO WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT IS THIS? FFIX YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO. I NEED TO MAKE A PHONE CALL. HELLO, YES, MR. SQUARE ENIX SIR. PLEASE EXPLAIN. THIS SHOULD BE ILLLEGAL. -100000000000/10

Oh god what is wrong with these guys. I assume this is from some old cartoon or movie or something? They’re kinda horrible vibes. Maybe it’s the teeth. And the shields on the back giving turtle. 4/10.

Okay being stabbed in the leg with a needle pain is ramping up so sorry if some of these ratings are a little terse. Regular frog wizard guy. Alchemy penalty. 5/10.

John Ryan Hamilton @xjcloud.bsky.social · 4d

Okay this is a good average frog card BUT one time one of my old locals obliterated me with this in the D&T vs High Tide matchup when he cunning wished for it. I’m still mad about it so 5/10.

Say what you will about secret lairs. I don’t even know where this one came from but. It’s peak. That… thing. Whatever it is. Goals. Give me a bunch of frogs feeding me strawberry crumble pls. 9/10

Big. Frog. Big. Fro—oh wait he’s totally breaking that dudes neck down there. Nice. Break free from your chains. 7/10.

Big. Frog. Big. Frog. Big. Frog. Part 2. 6.5/10 again. I think I have this one on my wall too.

John Ryan Hamilton @xjcloud.bsky.social · 4d

This dude is so befuddled, it’s really sending me. The frog is just sitting there like a person. Great art. 7/10

These guys are having so much fun, I’ve half a mind for forgive the alchemy penalty. But I won’t, because I’m bitter and have a cold dead heart. They are excellent frogs though. 8/10

Little confused by the art direction here, these look like fully different frogs. Maybe every time Keimi dies he gets a new Keimi? Kinda fucked if you ask me. Regardless, this dude rules and I wish I could be a frog rider, 8/10.
