Vortex Evolution is an evolution keyword.
Details[]
It is similar to an evolution creature but unlike an evolution creature, it requires 2 creatures to evolve from. The card text states which type of creature (like race or civilization) the vortex evolution requires to evolve from. You need to have at least one creature of both those characteristics in the battle zone to summon a vortex evolution creature. Once you have the required creatures, put one of those creatures on top of the other and while summoning the vortex evolution, put it on top of that stack.
- For example, if you want to summon Zero Phoenix, Phoenix of Darkness, you need to have at least one Darkness creature and one Fire creature in the battle zone. Once you have a darkness creature and a fire creature in the battle zone and you also have the required mana to summon Zero Phoenix, Phoenix of Darkness, stack either the darkness creature or the fire creature on top of the other and place Zero Phoenix, Phoenix of Darkness on top of the stack.
They are pretty difficult to summon as the player has to already have two creatures in the battle zone making it a loss of Field Advantage. However, due to this they tend to have higher than usual cost to power ratio.
Remember that if the vortex evolution creature is from 2 different civilizations, you still need to tap at least one mana of the same civilization as each of those civilizations. For example, while summoning Aura Pegasus, Avatar of Life, you need to tap at least one Nature and one Light mana to summon it.
It is usually found on creatures with the Phoenix race.
There is a variant, Galaxy Vortex evolution with further deviations.
