Deck Description

Turn your enemies into frogs, and then fry up the grill for some frog legs!

How to Play

Directly inspired by Viagrasaurusrex's U/R/G deck with Staticaster and Hornet Nest (http://www.mtgvault.com/viagrasaurusrex/decks/760167). I like that combo, but it led to wonder about other fun tricks that can be done with pinging. VSR's deck has Polymorphist's Jest in it, which seems like it could combine with red burn in cruel ways. Deliciously cruel!

So here's what I came up with for Standard. Jest/Turn to Frog opposing creatures, then wipe them out with Electrickery, Scouring Sands, and Circle of Flame. It's that simple! Polymorphist's Jest plus one of those other cards = one-sided board wipe for only 5 mana. And then you can swoop in for a quick win with creatures that get big and beefy when you cast instants and sorceries.

Just imagine this:

It's Turn 5. You have Nivix Cyclops and a Blistercoil Weird in play; your opponent has 3 big creatures. You cast Jest, then an overloaded Electrickery. BOOM, swing for 10 into an open field. Add in another similar creature or two, and you can quickly be swinging for lethal.

I think I need to actually build this and try it out at FNM. Or man, do I hope I get to draft Jest and Circle of Flame together, maybe even with a Turn to Frog to go with it! Mwahahah!

Deck discussion for Fresh Fried Frog Legs!

Jest+electrickery is like turn//burn 2.0 lol
I honestly love jest, and I feel it fits in most decks as a blow out enabler.
I do enjoy this deck idea nad I will forsure be doing more brewing with it in the future.

that dream of drafting circle and jest shouldn't be too hard as jest(will be first pickable as it'll be the best combat trick in limited) but circle has always been a weak card/ok sideboard card so it will get passed around. you just need to hit jest as your rare to live the dream.

You're right...long as you get Jest early it should be possible. Can't wait to try....

Pyroclasm. Would do some creature removal, for sure. But it would hit your stuff do.

I went a different way with Jest..when i seen the card:

That would be great, but Pyroclasm isn't in Standard right now. Oh, how I wish it was.....

I'll check out your deck when I have a few minutes to really give it its due. Thanks!
