Quina, Qu Gourmet

Gameplan

Quina turns every token-making spell into extra value by appending a 1/1 Frog to each batch, then converts those Frogs into a growing threat or fuels sacrifice/aristocrat engines. You ramp into wide token production, snowball the board, and either swing with a giant Quina (or other big bodies) or grind incremental advantage off the constant Frog supply. Mono-green keeps the deck consistent and resilient with cheap ramp and recursion.

Key Cards

• Doubling Season — Doubles every token batch (which Quina has already widened with Frogs) and boosts any +1/+1 counter payoffs.
• Parallel Lives — Cheaply doubles all token creation, multiplying both your real tokens and the appended Frogs.
• Cathars' Crusade — Each token entering, Frogs included, pumps your whole board for explosive go-wide damage.
• Scute Swarm — Snowballs out of control as every landfall trigger now also drops Frogs, flooding the board.
• Skullclamp — Turns the endless 1/1 Frogs into a relentless card-draw engine.
• Ashnod's Altar — Sacrifices Frogs for mana to power explosive turns and fuel Quina's growth or X-spells.

Upgrade Path

Lean into token doublers (Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Anointed Procession) so each Frog batch multiplies, and add efficient finishers like Craterhoof Behemoth and Triumph of the Hordes. Tighten the mana with fast ramp (Sol Ring, Three Visits, Nature's Lore) and add resilience through Heroic Intervention and Tireless Tracker-style card advantage. For higher power, build a sacrifice-and-drain core with free outlets and convert Quina into a backup beater while combo-ing off your token engines.
