Froggy Forcefield...?First, how do Frogs create a Forcefield?
Secondly, what's with the Frog's
hatred of Frog the Jam? Maybe I'm just thinking too
much about it.Let's go over a chain real quick.Froggy Forcefield -----> Blast Held by a
Tribute -----> Mirror Force.
Meaning?It means, Mirror Force, being the ultimate
destructive Trap, while Blast Held by a Tribute came
later, and is more difficult to trigger and Froggy
Forcefield is even worse than that.I don't see why you would use this, even if
you were playing a Frog Deck, which sadly, I've
never even seen used.
Ratings:
1/5 all
Art:2/5I hate when cards aren't good AND the picture
isn't great.

Froggy Forcefield
Normal Trap Card
Activate when a face-up "Frog" monster you control,
except "Frog the Jam", is selected as an attack
target. Destroy all Attack Position monsters your
opponent controls.
Well now we see the Mirror Force just for Frogs.
Just like Justi-Break for Normal Monsters. This a
good support card for frogs. There is a lot more
support for them from the most recent sets. Being
able to protect all frogs like Unifrog and
Substitoad. There were control concerns with frog
decks, but now it's okay with Froggy Forcefield.
Also with the OTK variants with quickly getting
T.A.D.P.O.L.E.s in the graveyard for Des Frog, get 3
of them on the field and use Des Croaking. Which can
even help you more when you use Polymerization for
D.3.S. Frog and then a quick De-Fusion for a game
ending swipe. Though that combo is harder to pull
off, the control you can have on the game with frogs
are so much better. This card makes frogs be even
more abusable, with so many effects that you have to
tribute a frog monster, so many can just keep saying
to everyone's favourite Treeborn Frog. Using
Substitoad with Treeborn Frog to get out other
monsters from the deck, but as long as you can get
some T.A.D.P.O.L.E.s in your graveyard via Foolish
Burial or Next To Be Lost, you can be aggressive and
be able to defend on the same turn. I really like
this card because another decktype can be played in
this all about Gladiator Beast, Dark Armed Dragon
Decks and Fairy/Lightsworn Decks out there.
Traditional: 1/5, I don't like frogs here. Too many
other decks are more important.
Advanced: 2.5/5, Frogs, I can see being really good
with the right cards and the right support. This
card can make the deck work even better.

Froggy Forcefield (Which I
initially typed as Jammer - which sounds pretty
cool) is a card that I have mixed feelings over. You
see, in a Frog deck, you shouldn't have too much
difficulty getting a Frog monster on your side of
the field. In all honesty, getting your opponent to
make this more than a 1-1 is probably the most
difficult thing.
However, with DaD decks
specializing in killing your quickly - which means
attacking fast and with a lot of monsters - you
actually have a shot with this. Unless DaD actually
hits the field. If you're not dead the turn he hits,
then yes this is great, however if you have this set
and he hits, say bye bye to your frogs and your life
points.
I do like that you can run it in
triplicate, and that it's easy to get a hold of.
Maybe if they came out with some ridiculously
powerful Frog cards this would spike in popularity.
Until then, this is pretty much made for the trade
binder.
Traditional: 2/5 Since Frogs
hardly stand a chance here
Advanced: 2/5 Since Frogs hardly stand... you get
the idea.
