Most players see a kill spell.
I see a 1 mana Vorapede flicker that triggers evolve and hands me a 3/3 Frog Lizard. There is so much synergy among the Simic Combine its awesome.

That moment when you win draft because someone turns your Metropolis Sprite into a 3/3 frog and you enchant it with Gift of Orzhova.

That's a big f-ing frog though if it can eat a grizzly bear.

There is a lot to like about this card. with undying creatures, it pumps them while adding another creature (and possibly triggering evolve on your other creatures). It gets rid of your opponents bigger threats. It fuels populate. It can be a great utility card in the right deck.

I love this card so much for its flexibility.
Them: I'll cast Searing spear on your Vampire Nighthawk
Me: I'll hybridize it and make your spear's rarget invalid.

I had a moment when I my opponent was swinging with too many creatures that I could block with; if any one was let through I would lose.
Then I realised I could just Rapid Hybridise my Predator Ooze to get a free creature and be able to block that one last creature that would have killed me.

Why is this rated so much lower (around .7 at the time of writing this) than Pongify?

This card is beautiful. Just a great piece of design. Creature destruction, in blue, at instant speed and for 
? Yet they still make it fun, interesting and not broken.
What is great here though is the flavor and versatility. I love the idea that the creature doesn't die, but is mutated, and the flavor text has the perfect condescending blue mage tone. This isn't just a blue Terror, it really does feel like a blue spell through and through. As for the uses, here we go:
1.) Destroy your opponent's big creature.
2.) Trade up one of your creatures to a 3/3
3.) Turn in a creature of yours for a 3/3 before it dies.
4.) Fuel some simic evolution, Undying or get a 3/3 for with indestructables.
...and more! This card combos with so many other cards, or is solid alone. I especially love Runed Servitor's suggestions. I ended up with a couple play sets and I could not be happier.

@CogMonocle: "it can't be regenerated." :P
Anyway, love this card! I wish it exiled for flavor reasons, but I also understand that it would be a different (and more expensive) card. Gonna run it with 4 Pongifys for shenanigans!
