Simic's my favorite guild, and... why did they get this while all the other guilds got much better hybrids at uncommon? I can't defend the playing of this anywhere. Not even in Limited.

BlueGreen is an amazing color combination, it grants flash, shroud, hexproof, card draw, flying, trample... And for 6 CMC this is inexcusable. Major step down from Return to Ravnica. At least Prime Speaker Zegana is cool.

It's still not as bad as Numai Outcast. I think.

Really, Wizards? I go and blow my money on a playset of Talrand and Master of the Pearl Trident expecting Merfolk to be big in Simic, and get only Simic Fluxmage, Zegana, and THIS? Really?! Ugh. I am disappoint. Can I give this 0 stars? Please?

rating it .5 raises the rating? This card is seriously a piece of crap.

So overcosted it makes Tangle Spider look good! Or Havenwood Wurm!

Probably done because this is quite the combat trick in Simic decks. That said, if you aren't playing plenty of evolve creatures in your limited deck: stay away from this card.

This is a bad card for 6 mana, but you have to look at the rest of the G/U cards in the set to realize that very few of them have a power of 4 or higher. This card is meant to be yet another scary way that a Simic deck can deal with attacking creatures by instant speed evolving your blockers, or you could use it after your opponent has declared blockers to give all of your attacking evolvers +1/+1. Still not good, but that's what this card is for. Deserves slightly better than the 1.034 it's rated at now. :)

A lot of the times when I see low ratings on cards, I try to justify them (such as in the case of Welkin Turn or Cancel, which are severely underrated). But these guys... they're just so bad. So, so so so bad. Especially when cards like Ambush Viper exist to occupy essentially the same position.

.5/5

Such low toughness for a six-mana creature, in this set..?
I keep waiting for the official announcement that Evolve was accidentally left off the card as it went to printing.

Honestly? I just keep thinking about all the 1cmc split mana creatures in RTR that were all sweet, and waiting for the gatecrash ones to be spoiled.

Looking through the gatecrash spoiler and seeing this occupying that same slot? When Simic should have had the best of that cycle? I am disappoint.
