Simic Burn - suggestions

Deck Help forum

I was interested in the Evolve ability from the moment it was announced.

As Evolve cards came out, I made and updated a UG deck.

After working on it for a while, I noticed it was powerful, but inconsistent.

I have since added Red, for burn-style control. This led me to Slumbering Dragon , and Vexing Devil as speed Evolvers.

Slumbering Dragon can make use of Bioshift , and Master Biomancer to speed it's awakening, and Vexing Devil coming in as a 6/5 will ensure they take the damage when you want them to... or instead, you can Rapid Hybridization it before they can pay the life, allowing for extra evolve, and a creature.

This has made it even faster, and a little better in terms of control. But I still want to make it more consistent if possible.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Evolving Aggro - Burn Version

i thought you couldnt cast Rapid Hybridization before the pay life part as part of statebase actions.

You can't cast Rapid Hybridization before you have to sac IF, the ETB triggered ability begins to resolves.

You can cast it in response to the ETB triggered ability, before they choose if they would like to pay the 4 life.

The ETB triggered ability will still resolve after Rapid Hybridization has resolved... but they probably won't pay the 4 life to make to sac a creature that is no longer in play.
