and put Froghemoth onto the battlefield from your hand blocking the same creature. If you do, exile Froghemoth at the end of the combat phase.
Based on an old D&D monster that hides in pools/lakes with just its eyestalk showing (which IIRC either looked like a strange flower or a small frog) and then burst out to munch anything that got too close (hence the blocking clause)
I feel like this needs some sort of activation. Blocking with Spore Frog before your round 2 makes this card a monster. Also, there's no 'shields down' moment, where a person can comfortably attack into your frogs. Other than that, this card is awesome. Also, if you removed the words 'pools/lakes' and 'eyestalks', you pretty much described 25% of the original DnD monsters. :D
There are certain "shields down" moments, most noticeably when you have no cards in hand, but I get your point, maybe add a payment like
?
I have no idea what the correct amount is, and I suspect that that has a bit to do with how many quality frogs there are in the environment(!).
seems like a good place to start, though.
"You may put Froghemoth onto the battlefield..." from where? Hand? Graveyard? Searching the library? What if I have a pile of 50 Froghemoths outside the game along with Pandemonium?
Player 1: Hmm. Okay, I guess I'll block with my Amoeboid Changeling. Hey, you own a Froghemoth don't you?
Player 2: Yeah, I do. Why?
Player 1: Well, when I block, I trigger your Froghemoth's ability and put him into play, blocking your creature.
That should totally work. Also, of course, frogemoth will trigger a second frogemoth, until every frogemoth in existence is involved in the battle (in APNAP order?) in a monstrous pile of ever shifting alliances and frogs.
Thankfully, they then get exiled. More thankfully still, this has already happened somewhere in the universe, so we're all safe now.
Hahaha guys, lotsa comedians on here suddenly ;-)
and specifically called out that it comes from your hand.
Hopefully corrected now. Added a cost of
Yeah, a cost of two makes this a nice trap, instead of an evil frogsplosion of madness.
Interesting how the flavour of this, compared to the functionally identical: "Channel
: Target blocking frog gets +6/+0"
works out.
An Evil Frogsplosion, heh I like that
