• 4/15/2013: When comparing the stats of the two creatures for evolve, you always compare power to power and toughness to toughness.
• 4/15/2013: Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, check its power and toughness against the power and toughness of the creature with evolve. If neither stat of the new creature is greater, evolve won't trigger at all.
• 4/15/2013: If evolve triggers, the stat comparison will happen again when the ability tries to resolve. If neither stat of the new creature is greater, the ability will do nothing. If the creature that entered the battlefield leaves the battlefield before evolve tries to resolve, use its last known power and toughness to compare the stats.
• 4/15/2013: If a creature enters the battlefield with +1/+1 counters on it, consider those counters when determining if evolve will trigger. For example, a 1/1 creature that enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it will cause the evolve ability of a 2/2 creature to trigger.
• 4/15/2013: If multiple creatures enter the battlefield at the same time, evolve may trigger multiple times, although the stat comparison will take place each time one of those abilities tries to resolve. For example, if you control a 2/2 creature with evolve and two 3/3 creatures enter the battlefield, evolve will trigger twice. The first ability will resolve and put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with evolve. When the second ability tries to resolve, neither the power nor the toughness of the new creature is greater than that of the creature with evolve, so that ability does nothing.
• 4/15/2013: When comparing the stats as the evolve ability resolves, it's possible that the stat that's greater changes from power to toughness or vice versa. If this happens, the ability will still resolve and you'll put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with evolve. For example, if you control a 2/2 creature with evolve and a 1/3 creature enters the battlefield under your control, it toughness is greater so evolve will trigger. In response, the 1/3 creature gets +2/-2. When the evolve trigger tries to resolve, its power is greater. You'll put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with evolve.

Creature — Human Warrior 1/1, 1GG (3)

Creatures with power less than Champion of Lambholt's power can't block creatures you control.

Illus. Christopher Moeller

• 5/1/2012: Creatures with power less than Champion of Lambholt can't block any creature you control, not just Champion of Lambholt.
• 5/1/2012: Champion of Lambholt's ability works even if it isn't attacking.
• 5/1/2012: The comparison of power is only done when blockers are declared. Increasing the power of a blocking creature (or decreasing the power of Champion of Lambholt) after this point won't cause any creature to stop blocking or become unblocked.

• 4/15/2013: Renegade Krasis “evolves” when its evolve ability resolves and a +1/+1 counter is put on it. If a replacement effect such as Doubling Season’s causes the evolve ability to put more than one +1/+1 counter on Renegade Krasis, its last ability triggers only once. If no +1/+1 counter is put on it (perhaps because it left the battlefield in response to its evolve ability triggering), then its last ability doesn’t trigger.
• 4/15/2013: Renegade Krasis’s last ability won’t trigger if a +1/+1 counter is put on it for any reason other than its evolve ability resolving.
