[@Xaiff]

Just curious. How the OCG handled substitoad & ronin toadin?

[@SaulGMV]

​@@Xaiff If you mean mechanically: despite frog and toad being extremely similar words in japanese (gaeru and kaeru), they are sorted in the exact same way you see in the TCG since they are still different words. If you mean naming wise: all their names are japanese puns, since -gaeru and -kaeru are also suffixes that form verbs (pex, substitoad in japanese is irekaeru, which means both "substitute toad" and "to subsitute"). tl;dr: they work in the exact same way they do in english, but the names and pun are much more "concise"

[@Shinde425]

Konami recognizes that toads are a special type of frog, and want to respect their uniqueness instead of lumping with every other type of frog. In this way they are remaining politically correct

specialized for what purpose? To acomplish what goal in a more efficient way?

Fun fact: in Duel Links Poison Draw Frog still lets you draw even if destroyed in battle when it was facedown.

[@ryleynadhir4685]

indeed it does. Duel Links follows OCG rulings, and in the OCG Poison Draw Frog's text allows you to draw in that situation. TCG: "When this face-up card on the field is sent to the Graveyard (unless it was attacked while face-down and destroyed by battle), you can draw 1 card." OCG: "When this face-up card on the field is sent to the Graveyard, you can draw 1 card."

@@danielknapp159 Substitoad tributes a Frog to summon a Frog from the Deck. This is not once per turn. They skipped the step where he just kept summoning stuff with Substitoad. It would be something like, activate Substitoad, tribute the on-field Frog, summon a Frog from the deck. Most of the Frogs' effects don't matter for the FTK, only that they have "Frog" in their name. Ronintoadin's effect is that you banish a "Frog" to summon it from the Graveyard. This is not once per turn. So you would summon Ronintoadin by banishing a Frog, activate Mass Driver which Tributes the Ronintoadin to deal 400 damage (this is not once per turn), then activate Ronintoadin, activate Mass Driver, and so on. Since at the end of one "activate Ronin, activate Mass Driver" combo, the only thing that changes about the board state is one banished Frog and -400 LP, you could just shorten it by banishing all the Frogs and taking 400 damage for each one.
