Rapid Hybridization (C15)

Instant

Destroy target creature. It can't be regenerated. That creature's controller creates a 3/3 green Frog Lizard creature token.

Key removal spell for blue-based tempo and control decks. At one mana, Rapid Hybridization offers exceptional efficiency for creature removal, though the 3/3 token compensation limits its appeal in matchups where board presence matters more than tempo. Sees consistent play in Modern and Pioneer tempo strategies where the speed of interaction outweighs the downside, and remains a solid utility answer in Commander for decks that can leverage the tempo advantage or don't mind the token.
