The Ribbeteers of New Croakenna

Blue/Green/Black Frog Tribal

Grolnok, the Omnivore by Simon Dominic

The streets of New Croakenna have become a swamp since the gangsters took over. The demon bosses and their toadies are merciless. Flap your tongue or flop at the wrong pad, and you’re bound to get croaked. Even your dodgy jalopy isn’t safe; park it at the wrong corner and it’ll be toad.

Enter the Ribbeteers! These émigré’s from across the pond revel in the croak-and-dagger politics of the Five Families. You can find them in the spawn shops and the croakrooms making slimy alliances and cementing deals with webbed handshakes. But don’t jump to conclusions; these wart-faced killers will toad-ally use their poison darts to assassinate anyone who bugs them, including their so-called friends. They’re real “betray-chians.” Don’t say you haven’t been toad!

Use Grolnok’s “cast from exile” ability to accelerate your casting while you pile +1/+1 counters on your Frogs. Obelisk of Urd and Reflections of Littjara augment your counters with tribal bonuses. Use Frogify, Kasmina’s Transmutation, and Polymorphist’s Jest to render your opponent’s creatures harmless, then Croaking Counterpart to copy their best abilities. To finish, use Hydra’s Growth and Monstrify to turn Yargle into a colossal beast, then Aqueous Form to make him unblockable. Then sit back and watch your opponent croak!
