Strategies

This card is quite identical to the environment version, Transformation Station. But the main impact is that it will only transform a zombie once unlike Transformation Station. However, it does make it up for drawing a card. The benefit for this card is that it will transform a zombie right away when it is used as Transformation Station requires a zombie to survive in order to be transformed. This can be useful with fragile cards like Exploding Imp so you can transform them into powerful cards before they get destroyed in combat.
Since this is a trick, Zombology Teacher can be used to make it cheaper, allowing you to transform zombies at a cheaper price. The best zombie to use this trick with is Gentleman Zombie. Since Gentleman Zombie will give you 2 extra , you can transform the Gentleman Zombie into a 4 zombie while you draw a card.
To use this card well, it is best used in a ramp deck (a strategy to play expensive cards earlier). Flag Zombie and Interdimensional Zombie can help create expensive zombies in the early game, allowing Evolutionary Leap to create powerful zombies early. You can also force a zombie to transform into something you want, like getting a guaranteed Zombot 1000 by transforming a Zombot Plank Walker.
There is almost no way to stop this trick since it will transform the zombie right away when it is used. If you see an expensive or powerful zombie on the board and the Brainy hero is holding 2 brains, they might have Evolutionary Leap. Try and remove said zombie before your opponent can transform it.
You can use Forget-Me-Nuts or Dark Matter Dragonfruit to increase the cost of this trick. Brainana can also be use to prevent this trick from being played, unless there are enough Zombology Teachers or Gentleman Zombies.
