Asinine Antics
Sorcery
You may cast this spell as though it had flash if you pay 
more to cast it.
For each creature your opponents control, create a Cursed Role token attached to that creature. (If you control another Role on it, put that one into the graveyard. Enchanted creature is 1/1.)

Asinine Antics turns every creature an opponent controls into a 1/1 Frog with no abilities — a board wipe that leaves bodies on the table and sets up your next attack or lock piece. At five mana in blue, it's expensive for a spell that doesn't actually clear the board, but Eriette, the Beguiler can convert those neutered Frogs into a passive death sentence the moment you slap an Aura on one.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Eriette, the Beguiler
Eriette, the Beguiler drains opponents for each creature you enchant, and Asinine Antics hands you a table full of 1/1 Frogs begging to be targeted — one Aura on any of them triggers her drain-and-gain engine while the enchanted creature is too weak to fight back.
Esix, Fractal Bloom
Esix, Fractal Bloom copies the first token you create each turn into whatever creature you choose, and Asinine Antics sets up a board where the only creatures worth copying are yours — opponents' threats are already lobotomized into vanilla 1/1s.
Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor
Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor wants Curses and soft locks, and Asinine Antics functions as a tempo equalizer that strips every opponent's board of text, buying the turns Lynde needs to pile on enchantments and grind out value.
Toxrill, the Corrosive
Toxrill, the Corrosive puts Slime counters on opposing creatures and converts them into tokens for you, and Asinine Antics accelerates that engine by turning formidable threats into 1/1 Frogs that Toxrill can slime and eat far more easily.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Asinine Antics is legal across every major format but finds its true home in Commander, where one spell hitting four opponents' boards simultaneously multiplies its value well past the five-mana cost. In a 1v1 format like Legacy or Modern, it's a five-mana sorcery that doesn't kill anything — far too slow to compete with the haymakers those formats demand. Pioneer and Standard could support it in janky enchantment shells, but it remains strictly a casual or Commander-table card in practice. Oathbreaker is the one 1v1 context where it earns a look, particularly in enchantress-style spellslinger builds that can exploit the neutered board.

Price Context
Current price
$1.13 cheap tier
At $1.13, Asinine Antics sits in comfortable bulk-rare territory — cheap enough to slot in without budget justification. It's a narrow enough effect that price pressure is unlikely to spike it, so there's no urgency in buying or trading for copies.
