Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Evolve notes.

The replacement minion is selected randomly from all collectible minions that cost 1 more, regardless of class.^[1] except for Colossal minions. [source]
The base mana cost of the affected minion is used to determine the selection, not the mana cost paid when summoning it.^[2]
If there is no minion of the intended cost to transform the target into, the spell will use the nearest possible cost.^[3] This currently applies to all minions with a mana cost of 10 (Standard only), 12, 20 and 25 (such as Mountain Giant, Molten Giant and Shirvallah, the Tiger; the latter, for example, will always be transformed into a new Shirvallah, the Tiger, as it is the only 25-mana minion in the game and no 26-mana minions exist.

Lore[]

This spell depicts an Abusive Sergeant 'evolving' into a tentacled beast of some sort, possibly a faceless one. The victim's former identity can be recognised by its armor and distinctive belt.

Trivia[]

This card's flavor text parodies the 1968 Beatles song "Revolution". The original lyrics are "You say you want a revolution/Well, you know/We all want to change the world".
