Definitely impossible in 10.2.7. Tried it several times and there's too much RNG for this to succeed. I even tried pushing an extra Needle Claw in turn 5 (instead of Shell Fortress, pushed it to turn 6), and then open with Dazzle and push 1 or 2 Needle Claw against Needlenose. Even when I killed Needlenose early, with Ice Tomb about to pop, there's no way Inland Croaker survives Brite.

Not impossible, but as Mutanis has pointed out below it's basically a coin flip on whether the strategy is a win.

Might be the best strategy so far. ~53% winrate

I noticed something different between game and website. My frog never miss Contagion Strike 2nd hit in 15 try, I suspect it is similar to Bone Barrage and it never miss.

oh yep, this needs to be fixed.
Anyway it doesn't have a big impact on the winrate. still ~50%
