The upcoming Marvel Super Heroes set continues to surprise players with unique mechanical designs, and the latest card to catch the community’s eye is King Solomon’s Frogs.
At first glance, a pair of glowing, mystical amphibians might seem like an unusual addition to a Marvel-themed lineup. However, comic book historians will instantly recognize these as King Solomon’s Frogs—ancient, time-displaced artifacts from the Black Panther comics capable of warping time and space. The card’s design leans heavily into this flavor, offering a fascinating combination of flexible flash-speed removal and a guaranteed ticket to political dominance at the table.
Here is a quick look at the card’s stats and abilities:
| Attribute | Details |
| Mana Cost | 3{W} |
| Type | Legendary Artifact |
| Keywords | Flash |
| ETB Effect | When it enters, if you cast it, for each opponent, exile up to one target permanent that player controls with mana value 3 or greater. For each permanent exiled this way, its controller draws a card. |
| Activated Ability | 3, {T}, Exile King Solomon’s Frogs: You become the monarch. |
Because it has Flash, you can hold up four mana and drop this right before your turn or mid-combat to disrupt your opponents. Exiling a threat from each opponent with a mana value of 3 or greater can completely swing the tempo of a game. While it does give those opponents a card in return (similar to classic white removal like Path to Exile), the sheer volume of a 3-for-1 removal spell in a four-player game cannot be understated.
For Commander players, this card serves a brilliant dual purpose. After it has done its job of clearing the board of early-to-mid-game value pieces, you can cash it in for 3 mana to become the monarch. This guarantees you an extra card draw at your end step, offsetting the card advantage you handed out upon its entry.
As a Legendary Artifact, it can easily find a home in white-aligned artifact decks that care about historic permanents or recursion, though its “if you cast it” clause ensures you can’t easily abuse the entry trigger via blink or reanimation strategies.
Ultimately, King Solomon’s Frogs looks like a highly versatile piece of interaction that political and control-oriented decks will love testing out.
