by jmgariepy:

For Challenge # 032. In order for the -1/-1 counter thingy to work, I had to use phasing instead of exiling. If the flavor isn't obvious, this frog jumped into play, lashed it's tongue out and swallowed your creature whole. Your creature is slowly digesting in the frog, but if you kill the frog before your creature is dead, it will crawl out, much worse for the wear.

This brings up a strange point. If a creature is phased out and it's a 0/0, does it go to the graveyard, or does it have to wait until it phases back in?

by Link:

I don't know. I didn't know you could interact with them at all.

by Alex:

It doesn't die, because SBAs ignore it. It's somewhat dubious to interact with them at all, but I think a card that specifically says it can do so is probably okay (we could certainly make the rules work with it).

Flavour and mechanics are very similar to Giant Oyster.
