Haze Frog blanks an entire combat step the moment it enters — every creature your opponents control loses all abilities until end of turn, turning a lethal alpha strike into a null attack. Five mana is the real cost, and that ceiling keeps Haze Frog out of most decks, but Grolnok, the Omnivore builds that flip it into a free reset make it worth every lily pad.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Grolnok, the Omnivore
Grolnok, the Omnivore mills Haze Frog face-down onto the battlefield for free, turning a five-mana flash creature into a zero-cost combat wipe that also fuels Grolnok's perpetual board-rebuilding engine.
Clement, the Worrywort
Clement, the Worrywort cares about creatures entering from unusual zones, and Haze Frog's flash timing means it can drop in at instant speed to strip abilities mid-combat while Clement squeezes additional value off the ETB trigger.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Haze Frog is a Commander card through and through — the format's multiplayer combat math makes blanking all opposing creatures simultaneously far more impactful than it would ever be in a one-on-one game. In Pauper and Legacy it's technically legal but sees no play; a five-mana creature with a one-turn ability doesn't survive the tempo scrutiny of those formats. In Commander, Haze Frog earns its slot almost exclusively in frog-tribal and Grolnok builds, where the cost gets circumvented entirely by the mill-to-battlefield mechanic.

Price Context
Current price
$0.39 bulk tier
At $0.39, Haze Frog sits firmly in bulk territory, which is about right for a card with a narrow home and no competitive demand propping up the price. It won't appreciate unless frog-tribal becomes a breakout archetype, so pick it up when you need it and don't sweat the cost.
