I evolved Fire Elemental into Baron Geddon. He destroyed my board and lost me the game -__-

Actually the whole seven mana spot is pretty awful, I should really stop evolving fire elementals even when they need a heal...

Not true - you could also get Antonidas, Prophet Velen, Hogger, Doom of Elwynn, Skycap'n Kragg, Stormwind Champion, etc, all of which would be better than a Fire Elemental. Baron Geddon and Rend Blackhand are really the only poor drops you could get, and even then they might be useful in some situations.

even rend is better than a fire ele,you get a heal on it and +2 attack.

OTOH, he forgot Acidmaw.

The issue is the wild swing. You tend to play evolve either when you are deeply fighting against the board and want a swing turn, or dropping a bunch of creatures to try to rescue the board. Getting a great card can help a good deal, but getting the booby prize is a game ender. It's a big risk that's best avoided unless you have no other choice.

One does not simply walk into Mordor,

unless they want to be the best they can be.

My priest opponent has just cleared the board with Holy Nova, had a 4/2 of board and me a 0/1 Flametongue Totem. Out of cards and hope I cast Evolve, it turned into Flamewaker and killed his minion.

You know that EVERY young Fire Elemental wants to be Baron Geddon when the grows up. Their true dream is to evolve again into Ragnaros the Firelord, though.

EVOLVE, INSECT!

- Ragnaros the Darwinist (2016)

Ragnaros the Evolver should be an actual card.

I'm looking forward to seeing the inevitable Dopplegangster+Evolve combo into 3 Big-Time Racketeers on Trolden/Rage Orc's channel.
