No. "becomes a creature" does not equal "enters the battlefield."

I'm gonna need a ruling as to wether this thing triggers evolve...

EDIT: Really guys? My legitimate question deserves a .5 star rating? That's just dickish

A nice safe place to move all your +1/+1 counters from Simic Fluxmage and Bioshift.

Gives zero fux about creature removal

Instantaneous board wipes are about the only thing that can take care of this dude. Nice target for counters or other power ups.

5/5 for hexproof.

I often forget that these keyrunes even tap for mana.

Some Simic decks need the ramp but this guy has little other synergy.

Try Naturalize / Smelt in response to its activation.

To think back when everything was UWx control, I thought this card would be the ultimate threat that eventually closes out the mirror. Virtually unkillable (prior to release of Dragon's Maze), it would swing in turn after turn in a fully controlled board.

And look at how wrong I was - Aetherling.

@ThisisSakon: You shouldn't have to ask that question. This is like asking "Does Wrath of God destroy this when it's a creature?" It's a dumb question.

With the current CMC of mana-dorks in standard at 2, I think in a simic deck it's worth considering dropping one or two dorks and replacing them with one or two of these. Not easy to get rid of.
