Which explains why Treeborn Frog is banned so we don't have infinite tribute fodder.

Treeborn requires that, for at least the turn before reviving it, that you lack a backrow.

Sinister Serpent has no such restriction.

Hurr hurr, now all my "Discard 1 card to do 'x'" effects are at least +0's.

Would this [i]REALLY[/i] encourage people to run more "Discard [X]" to do [Y]" cards?
OWAIT, INFERNITYS EXIST NOW.

I can't actually find an example where this is extremely abusable.

Give you excuse to maindeck Phoenix Wing Wind Blast in 3s?

Infinite discard abuse is pushing it. Contrary to what Griffin said earlier, this card is not overrated. YCM underrates this card, hence why some of them think it's fine to put infinite discard abuse @1 for a laugh. Treeborn requires you to lack a backrow and although it has wider uses, it's uses are not as abusable as this card's.

I liked to think that treeborn is not banned because in the fast paced games that we had, slow monarch plays hardly mattered. Now with the rise of frognarchs and fish otk, I think that treeborn is just as broken (if not even more) as this.

Maybe konami can ban treeborn and unban this for a format. I don't want to see both unbanned at the same time because of decks like:

edit:
you can get this, use every pwwb/break you have in the standby phase and get a treeborn after you empty your backrow, right?

If it was a case of either Treeborn @3 with SS banned or SS @3 with Treeborn banned, I think I'd go for the first scenario. Infinite tribute fodder is bad, but infinite discard fodder is far, far worse. I made a topic about this card a couple of months back and the opinions were all along the lines of "Should stay @0. Period.".
