Ooh! I like it! It's a wall while it's still small, then an evasive attacker once you have a few counters on it. And its high toughness lets you evolve other creatures you've already played when it comes into play. Solid!
High, possible first pick in Limited, just because you're likely to get him to 3-4-5 power, with a big ole butt, during the course of the game. Now I'm interested to see what the set's burn/removal package is going to look like!
I mostly play limited and this seems awesome. It's exactly the kind of card simic needs to make it a viable strategy: something that triggers evolve on the creatures you have and will itself evolve with more creatures. Plus, evasion and decent cost? Can't wait to play simic at the prerelease

Oh boy, now I'm really excited to go Simic for prerelease.
Well, the card enables evolve to be a thing and is not x/1! Unblockability aswell, excites me a lot.

Nothing. All I want is Heroes vs. Monsters spoilers.
I never interested at simic before, but now, I am quite interested in simic in both prerelease and constructed. I want to pick a blue guild at prerelease (between dimir and simic) and I am happy because both are decent at both constructed and limited.
You played JESUS?!?! I heard none of his guys stay in the graveyard, and once you think you have him beat he ALWAYS comes back to win within three turns. I like...WORSHIP him.
If the store owner says that I can't trade in the premises, I'll just go outside. If he says that I can't trade within 10m of his premises, I'll go to 11 meters. If he says that he doesn't want to see me trading, I will put a basket over his head and continue trading.
Yes, he's a local legend. He's only known to take his clothes off before he goes into the Ladies' Lockerroom. Nobody knows what he does in there because he's invisible, but it's almost certainly tons of masturbating.
Unblockable creatures are not very fun in Limited, and this one seems like it can grow pretty big pretty soon. I hope we still have the Unsummon variant at common, and if we do it's gonna be a fairly high pick considering all these Evolve guys.
This is pretty much exactly the card type that evolve decks will need. It can come down and block whatever it wants pretty safely, then turn into a strong attacker later on in the game. Going to be very good in limited and perhaps even playable in stall-y constructed decks.
Be kinda bummed if this isn't a merfolk. I guess as a tribe merfolk have become to powerful...

I'm disappointed that this isn't a Merfolk. Weren't the Merfolk suppose to be leading the Simic? What am I going to do with all those Masters of the pearl tridents I bought if we don't get some good merfolk?

Cube. The best way to play Magic. PERIOD. Come over and check it out. Also, check out my Peasant Split Card Cube.

Anyway, as to the card: LOVE IT! I am getting more and more excited by the Simic all the time. This is definitely my set. And you know what? IT'S MOSTLY THE COMMONS AND UNCOMMONS THAT ARE EXCITING ME!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW AWESOME THAT FEELS? And it's not as though the rares are lackluster either (well, alright, ~Biovisionary does not particularly excite me, but heaven knows Fathom Mage does!).
But back to the actual card, I was hoping a low power / high toughness Evolve card would be spoiled before too long, and here it is! Three mana would have been a bit much, but they made the absolutely hilarious choice of making a 0-power creature unblockable! You have NO IDEA how happy that makes me in the cockles of my little Timmy heart. DEFINITELY a card I would love to pull at the prerelease.
So far, the only problem I have is that this is the third Simic creature with a CMC of 3 that has been spoiled (the other two being Drakewing Krasis (another card I am far too excited for, considering it's a common) and Biovisionary). Of course, this may just be a coincidence, and I'm only looking forward to using two of them anyway (~Elusive Mutant and Drakewing Krasis, of course), but I just hope that R&D made sure not to clog up too much space at certain CMCs, otherwise deckbuilding for the Simic might be a bit more complicated than I'd like.

Someday, I will own all of the dragons. All of them. 43/111, approximately 39% complete. Over a third done.

Could the word "Hybrid" be part of his name? At least the second part of the name consists of the words "mixed" and "body", or so my kanji browser plugin tells me. Maybe "Half-breed" could also fit. "Mongrel" could also be an option (Wild Mongrel was never printed in japanese as far as I can tell, so I have no comparison).
The card itself isn't all that exciting. However, it will be a good limited staple, either punching through damage or holding off attackers.
Could it be Krasis? It is a fish mutant and that is the Simic word for hybrid.
You can see them previewing the new card at 13:36.
This is an official mtg channel, so pretty sure it's legit.

It's got more than 10 different strategies you can choose from.
Comment about it here.

there's been much worse than this. soulsworn spirit, neurok invisimancer, latch seeker, and invisible stalker, were all much scarier than this guy in limited.
Methinks this will go great in a BUG Evolve/Cipher deck...
