  Artist: Drew Baker

Analysis:

Strengths:

1. Evolutionary concept: The card provides a way to "evolve" your creatures into potentialy more powerful, multicolored variants.
2. Flexibility: You can tailor the creatures in your deck to have a variety of color identities to maximize the card's potential.
3. Non-Mana Cost: It uses life as a resource insem or mana, which could be advantageous in decks with heavy mana commitments.

Weaknesses:

1. Sorcery Speed: The ability can only be activated at sorcery speed, meaning it lacks the surprise factor.
2. Exile: The card to be cast is exiled, so if you can't cast it immediately or soon after, it's lost.
3. Cost: You must pay 1 Mana and Sacrifice A Creature, which can be a high cost depending on the creature sacrificated.

Potential Deck Placement:

• Could be a good fit for decks focused on multicolored creatures or "toolbox" decks that have a variety of creatures for different situations.
• Would synergy well with sacrifice themes, where you're already inclined to send your creatures to the graveyard.

Flavour and Art:
The Flavor Text "in with the old, out with the new" is a clever twist on the usual saying, fitting the card's mechanic of replacing one creature with another. The art would like Likely Depict Some Form of Mystical Gateway, Enhancing the Card's Theme.

Overall impression:
Evolving by is an intriguing build-around-me card that requests careful deck construction. The Risk of Sacrifying a Creature and the Cost Involved Can Potentialy Be Offset by A More Powerful, Multicolored Creature. This card sacrifices a unique and flavorful way to upgrade your board State.
