Nice. I can tell that this is going to make a really nice combo attack when played out correctly. And with my experience against any frog-based deck, I know that tadpoles are a nuisance to the user's opponent. I give these guys a 4.8/5 because, actually, if you really think about it, it might as well be 5/5 because of how well you can play these cards. They're easy cards to use, even for a beginner, so my finally verdict is 5/5.

I don't think I'd ever give a card a 5/5. 5/5 means perfection, a card that when played ensures victory. Arch-Tadpole and Wicked Frog aren't cards like that. All they can really do is get high ATK points, but they're still vulnerable to any sort of Spell or Trap.

That said, they can get REALLY high ATK. 5 Tadpoles in the Graveyard would turn Arch-Tadpole into the strongest Level One monster in the game. And Tadpoles go to the Graveyard easily in a well-built Frog deck. You play one or two a turn, and Transform one per turn with Frog Pond.

Wicked Frog's even better. Starting with a base 2200 ATK, Wicked Frog breaks the barrier of Level Three monsters at 5 Frogs or Tadpoles. That could be as easy as Transforming 2 Tadpoles, having your opponent destroy their resulting Frogs and then Transforming Arch-Tadpole itself.

I'll go 3/5 for Arch-Tadpole. It's really nothing special. Wicked Frog gets a 4/5.

I was going for a combined verdict, but whatever. *shrugs*

I saw this coming.

**(Predalien steps up behind me, stabs tail fin through my chest.)**

(Translation of hissing) The frog series is a powerful one. Not broken, just very good. 4/5. Now then, I have stuff to kill.
