With the release of The Shining Darkness, many Duelists are interested in the booster's top cards. "Blackwing - Breeze the Zephyr", "Chaos Goddess" and "XX-Saber Darksoul" are all high on Duelists' lists for their respective archetypes, and with this, a common card such as "Ronintoadin" may have been overlooked. But for Frog Duelists, this card is one of the most important cards to be released in the current series. Date: June 6, 2010

| Summary
| - With the release of The Shining Darkness, many Duelists are interested in the booster's top cards. "Blackwing - Breeze the Zephyr", "Chaos Goddess" and "XX-Saber Darksoul" are all high on Duelists' lists for their respective archetypes, and with this, a common card such as "Ronintoadin" may have been overlooked. But for Frog Duelists, this card is one of the most important cards to be released in the current series.
As a monster with 2000 DEF, "Ronintoadin" is a reasonably strong defender and with only 100 ATK and being Level 2, it can be supported with cards such as "Salvage", "Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord" and most importantly "Swap Frog", allowing "Ronintoadin" to be dumped into the graveyard quickly, the exact place he needs to be. It's "Ronintoadin's" effect that makes him such a fantastic support card, as he can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard very easily, simply by removing another "Frog" monster in your graveyard from play. And unlike similar monsters such as "Quillbolt Hedgehog" or "Plaguespreader Zombie", who are both removed from play after using their effect once, "Ronintoadin" doesn't have a limit or downside to using his effect. This makes him easy Tribute Summon fodder for your "Des Frog", or to use as tribute with "Substitoad's" effect. And coupled with "Substitoad", this cards allows for mass Frog swarming with only two cards. Alternatively, "Ronintoadin" can be used as now the easiest tribute fodder within a Frognarchs or Froggy-Monarch deck.
"Ronintoadin's" other effects may not be as powerful, but its first is just as important, for in the same way as "Dupe Frog", its name is treated as "Des Frog" while face-up on the field. Most importantly, this means with three "Ronintoadin"s in your graveyard and enough Frogs with them to Special Summon all three, you can easily activate "Des Croaking" to destroy all of your opponents cards, though this won't result in much of attacking force to conclude. However, you can then use you three monsters as Fusion Material for "D.3.S. Frog", who can hit your opponent for at least 2500. On its own however, a single "Ronintoadin" can quickly make up the numbers necessary to activate "Des Croaking" as well as be supported by other Frog effects, such as "Substitoad" preventing it from being destroyed by battle and of course "Froggy Forcefield", wiping out your opponents monsters when they attack it.
"Ronintoadin" may for some seem like a slightly better and more appropriate version of "Fishborg Blaster", and some may be put off with the effect stopping it from being used as Synchro Material, but where "Fishborg Blaster" fails with no field or hand advantage, "Ronintoadin" succeeds and allows for difficult barriers that are not easy to break, and speeds up the Frogs' game winning destruction and swarm effects. Could this card see the Frogs back in the top Deck tier? Only time will tell, but for now, "Ronintoadin" is definitely a card no Frog Deck should be without.
