The mana symbols do all the interesting work. Each hybrid pip can be paid with red or green, which decouples what the body costs from what it does: this is a five-mana 4/4 you can cast on any mix of the two colors, but the enter triggers only fire when the whole cost includes or . Spend two red across the cost and it deals 3 damage to any target, a Flametongue-style burn body. Spend two green and it fetches a land to hand with a two-life kicker. The two triggers are independent, so a hand that produces both and gets both: a 4/4 that burns something and finds a land. The trap sits at the seam. If you produce exactly one red and one green across the entire cost, you satisfy neither nor and the card just leaves a 4/4 body with no enter effect at all, so the split is the payment pattern that gives you the least. Evoke sharpens the whole thing: for two hybrid pips you buy just the enter trigger and let the body die, turning the line into sorcery-speed removal and the line into a fixing spell that leaves nothing behind. The Elemental Incarnation type has long housed evoke bodies that existed for the trigger rather than the stats; this one splits that trigger in two and gates each half behind a doubled colored pip, so the mana you can actually produce decides which halves you get.
