Frogmite is a 4/4 artifact creature that routinely costs zero mana in any deck running enough artifacts, which is the whole story. Imskir Iron-Eater turns that free body into card draw and life gain every time it swings, making Frogmite one of the cleanest includes in that shell.

Imskir Iron-Eater
Imskir Iron-Eater wants cheap or free artifacts to sacrifice and replay, and Frogmite fills that role perfectly — a zero-cost 4/4 that feeds Imskir's draw-and-drain engine without spending a single mana on the turn it matters.

| Format | Verdict |

In Commander, Frogmite earns its slot in artifact-heavy builds where affinity for artifacts regularly reduces its cost to zero, trading raw power-level ceiling for reliable, free board presence. In Pauper it has genuine competitive history — affinity decks there have always leaned on Frogmite as one of their core free threats, and it remains a staple of that format. Legacy and Vintage both have access to it, though the competition at zero mana is steep enough that Frogmite rarely makes the cut outside of dedicated artifact shells or fringe affinity builds. Pioneer and Standard aren't options, so its constructed home is squarely in older formats and the Commander table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.40 bulk tier
At $0.40, Frogmite sits firmly in bulk territory, which is exactly right for a card with narrow synergy requirements. Bulk commons with a specific home rarely climb without a reprint ban or format shift, so there's no reason to stock up beyond your immediate needs.
