Let's evolve some hate bears. The idea is simple, we start with a random actual "hate bear" and each subsequent post will make a positive or negative change to the card based off the previous post. So if I took the starting card and added one toughness to make it a 2/3, the next poster should change something to make the card worse such as upping the mana cost or removing an ability. When a numeric change is made to the cmc, cost of activated abilities, p/t, etc try to do it in increments of one.
If, for any reason, you want to make a "neutral" change instead of a positive or negative one you could target the creature type, mana color(s) or even the name.
Our first card was Stingscourger, and here is its final evolution:
Crescent Dragon Whelp2R Creature - Dragon
Flying R: ~ gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, discard a card, then draw a card.
1/1
Round two started with Gaddock Teeg and ended with:
Mona Trevask, the Dragon Slayer2WW Legendary Creature - Human Soldier
Reach, Protection from black and from red
When this creature attacks, you may have target Dragon defending player controls untap and block it this turn if able.
As long as an opponent controls a Dragon, Mona has +2/+2 and First Strike.
3/2
Insane Electromancer2BR Creature - Human Wizard
Vanishing 3, First strike
Whenever a black or red creature enters the battlefield, Insane Electromancer deals 1 damage to each other creature. If a creature dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.
2/1
Round 4 went from a Stigma Lasher to
Moltensteel Slasher1RRR Artifact Creature — Construct
Haste
Whenever ~ would deal damage to a creature or player that was dealt damage this turn, it deals double that damage instead.
3/3
I will start with a negative change and add to the cmc:
Stingscourger1RR Creature - Goblin Warrior
Echo 3R (At the beginning of your upkeep, if this came under your control since the beginning of your last upkeep, sacrifice it unless you pay its echo cost.)
