Psychic Frog card art
Psychic Frog is a two-mana threat that grows every time you discard — pitch a card, get a +1/+1 counter and evasion, and suddenly you're attacking through anything with a creature that's been fed by your own hand. The discard cost is the engine, not the drawback, which is why it slots cleanly into Norman Osborn // Green Goblin and sits in nearly 70% of Hashaton, Scarab's Fist decks.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

commander legal
legacy banned

vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Psychic Frog is banned in Legacy, which tells you exactly how fast the discard-to-power loop gets out of hand in a format with Brainstorm and Force of Will to fuel it. Modern and Vintage are both legal, where the card sees play but competes in a tighter resource environment. Commander gives Psychic Frog a clean pass — 100-card singleton means you can't stack the discard enablers the way Legacy could, and opponents have four turns to answer it before it spirals completely out of reach.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Hashaton, Scarab's Fist

Hashaton, Scarab's Fist

69.5% of decks · synergy 0.62

Hashaton, Scarab's Fist cares about creatures entering with counters and rewards you for stacking them, making Psychic Frog a near-automatic include — every discard trigger puts a counter on the Frog and advances Hashaton's whole gameplan simultaneously.

02

Norman Osborn

55.6% of decks · synergy 0.53

Norman Osborn wants you discarding constantly to fuel his Goblin token production, and Psychic Frog turns each of those discards into a counter, making it one of the cleanest dual-payoffs in the deck.

03
Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer

Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer

52.1% of decks · synergy 0.50

Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer casts nonland cards from the graveyard, so every card Psychic Frog incentivizes you to pitch is fuel Oskar can recoup — the Frog grows while Oskar recovers the resources.

04
Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima

Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima

28.4% of decks · synergy 0.21

Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima generates consistent card advantage and rewards aggressive combat, and Psychic Frog's evasion plus counter-stacking makes it a reliable early threat that scales into the mid-game alongside Jin's token production.

05
Raffine, Scheming Seer

Raffine, Scheming Seer

24.7% of decks · synergy 0.18

Raffine, Scheming Seer's connive trigger is structured discard, and Psychic Frog converts each connive into a counter — the two cards share exactly the same resource loop, making the Frog a straightforward slot in any Raffine build.
