What's all this candidate rubbish, this is easily the worst card in the set. The haste may as well not even be there. At least those uncommon merfolk can trigger evolve at instant speed. If I saw this without an expansion symbol, I would assume it came from Legends or Ice Age, it's that bad.

This was the card that, at the prerelease, we all passed around the tables and laughed at.
Seriously, unless you're casting this on something small on turn 7, 8, or 9 for that last bit of damage...in these colors...well, if that's your best play, you're probably already dead.
Terrible, but at least it was good for laugh.

Bar none the worst card in this set.

Yeah... this could have costed just {R}{G} and been not too good (see Goblin War Paint). At least {1}{R}{G} would have been perfectly balanced. But this... this just sucks.

Yes, with Goblin War Paint as the precedent, plus the fact that WOTC has been pushing auras lately, this could have been two or even three mana cheaper. At this cost, I'd rather it gave
something like trample instead.
The problem with giving haste at such a high cost is that you probably won't have much mana to pay for the creature. Most creatures that cost 1-2 mana are no bigger than 2/2s, which would give you at best a 5/5 for 6 or 7 mana. And creatures higher on the curve mean you're playing the combo even later in the game, or having to ramp up to it. At such an investment, there are better things to cast (yes, even at common).

Haste for only one creature on an Enchantment Aura? This design does not make sense.

Haste? This is 5 mana. Chances are you are putting this on something that is already over summoning sickness. If you have enough mana to make this good by playing a decent creature and attaching this to it, you should have much better plays to make. If you're the kind of deck that would want this effect, you probably should have won the game by then.

Because that +1/+1 is worth 
over Goblin War Paint.
I don't know how wizards thinks cards as completely and absolutely worthless as this modulate the power level of the game. I don't even think they do. I think they just get off on trolling us.
