Essentially a 3/2 with haste for 2 if you flash it out at the end of their turn and an emergency chump in a pinch. Love it.

Land sharks! They do exist! This reminds me of the fish people from Pirates of the Carribean.

I got to thinking, how could this pot-bellied, crab-legged, thing have flash? how could he move that fast?
It has to be his hammerhead, thats really aerodynamic.

"It's a FISH-CRAB for God's sake!" :D Being able to evolve guys at instant speed will be vury good, plus this guy will be a 3/2 for 2 by the time he attacks.

This is the closest thing to a shark that we've got in almost 15 years* - see Hammerhead Shark for its long-lost ancestor! (funny that it's the same KIND of shark, too)
This guy makes me nervous. I've got a bad feeling about running into these at the prerelease. I can't deny that I like the cut of its jib, though - seems quite solid.
...i'm still chapped about no coiling oracle though! haha

He got flash because he's driving a motorcycle! Like all Street Sharks do.

Flash in an evolve deck can be worth multiple combat tricks and this guy doesn't sacrifice much on the power and toughness side of things. High quality card.

Yeah, I'll pass turn. Gee. Look at all these cards in my hand. Be a shame if your spell got countered. Reeeaaall shame. Not going to cast anything this turn? You sure? Well, okay. Not a bad idea.

Oh yeah at the end of your turn EVOLVING FISH CRAB.

So, how much Evolve timing fun can we have with a creature with flash?
I have out a 1/1 evolve, let's say Fathom Mage Cast Shambleshark, comes into play
Triggers evolve on Fathom Mage In response to that trigger, I cast another Shambleshark
Second Shambleshark resolves, triggers evolve on the Fathom Mage (since it's still 1/1)
Fathom Mage's evolve trigger from the second shambleshark resolves
Fathom Mages evolve trigger from the first shambleshark resolves
Fathom Mage ends up with two +1/+1 counters when it was only 1 power lower than the two creatures I cast ^_^

@ Nessus I don't think that would work, while the trigger would indeed go on the stack, the trigger actually checks the creature's power and toughness before resolving, so it would still only get 1 counter. It's the same thing as having multiple creatures enter the battlefield at once.

"He's a {U}{G} 2/1 who grows" "Alright, I guess that's not bad; I could get him." "He has flash" "Hm, yeah I could do that; save graft counters, evolve, block with a bunch of graft. Sure I'll buy him!" "He's..

Flash really makes this guy. He can be removal, evade removal, trigger evolve during combat, and get fat. Really fits the Simic theme of adaptation. Shows how a simple design can fill so many functions for deck building. Probably not tournament constructed worthy, but a super fun casual card none the less.

An obese, four legged, hammerhead shark with a sword and trident. Your argument is invalid.

Oh gods, I saw this in a manga once. The fish all grew legs through apparati fueled by the souls of the dead and enslaved the human race.
