Water pours out of her river boat's hull, the swampy ballast filling the arena. A star fish with one eye emerges from the bog and attacks the statue. ((1250 damage))

   Alrighty chere, here goes! I summon Subtitoad from my hand. Substitoad, work your magic!  Subtitoad turns Star Boy into a Dupe Frog. Dupe Frog becomes another Dupe Frog, which adds a Swap Frog to Mary's hand. Dupe Frog becomes a third Dupe Frog, which adds Treeborn Frog to her hand. Treeborn Frog is discarded to Special Summon Swap Frog, who sends a T.A.D.P.O.L.E. to the graveyard from the deck. Dupe Frog is croaked into a Des Frog, which adds a Des Frog to her hand. Swap Frog swaps itself for the Des Frog in her hand, which special summons a third Des Frog with its effect.  And now I end this, chere. I play Des Croaking, which wipes your field clear. I then play Solidarity, and all my frogs attack directly. End game.

conversations:  You played a pretty good game yourself, chere. Glad you enjoyed yourself. 
  
  ((That was interesting, though you had terrible luck, it seems. All I needed to OTK was a Substitoad, but a lot of my cards would have bought me still more time until I could pull it off. And with Wetlands and Solidarity, this still makes a not-bad beatdown deck, even though the core beatdown cards for Frogs aren't present. Any tips for the deck? I thought Exodius was a pretty inspired addition on my part, and it also links the deck back to Shadow, but I'm thinking of replacing Treeborn Frog with another Exodius. Thoughts?))
conversations: Shadow_Elf:
conversations: human
conversations:  ((Well, to be honest, I'm not really sure what Exodius brings. I can see how he gets any previously used frogs back tot he deck, but then, he's pretty much a useless, 0 attack... Thingy. Treeborn Frog is generally more useful, so I'd keep that myself.
  Any thoughts on how to improve this deck then?))
conversations: Altaria87:
conversations: human
conversations:  Well, Subtitoad, T.A.D.P.O.L.E. and Swap Frog can easily dump a bunch of monsters in the graveyard to super-buff Exodius for one big direct attack. And since he's removed from play upon destruction, he doesn't interfere with Solidarity.
  
  On your deck, I would consider throwing in a couple of copies of Ultimate Offering, in case you want to throw up the Honest/Athena OTK. Mysterious Puppeteer then follows, since he's always nice to put with Ultimate Offering, and also can give you a bunch of life points with the Athena exchanging ability. Ultimate Offering also lets you summon Gellenduo and then tribute them for a seven star in the same round. If I think of anything else, I'll tell you.

  May I ask how many normal monsters you have in your deck Shadow. Because those are the only ones the power up Exodius when in the grave.

  Just returning the favor. And yeah that makes him stink in most decks. I'll probably never play him cause I rarely play normal monsters.
