The Simic mechanic is an action keyword: Adapt
On a more Riptide cube-related note, here is a new spot removal:
Instant. Hero’s Downfall except more RED intense and can also target artifacts.

"Torment" (or whatever name they decided to apply that French to) seems like a sweet replacement for Kolaghan's Command, a card I've long had some amount of distaste for, but haven't removed on account of it's usefulness. Nice!

Itll play fine (monstrous did) but the irony that you can only adapt once is not lost on me

You can do it again if you take all the counters off. Probably there'll be a rare or pushed uncommon that does it.

Still tho 
and if not you can always cube it with Shapers of Nature
It seems like you are no longer a Ravnica fan?
I love the plane/setting and the first block as much as always.
But that doesn't mean I can't be critical on new things set on that plane right? And Adapt is just a strictly worse monstrosity, so ...

It feels pretty uninspired, I agree.

Not strictly worse, it is instant speed. Great fit for UG, mechanically. In terms of flavor, though, it is weird.

This seems to be the primary thing that separates it from Monstrous, well, that and the 'when ~ becomes monstrous', but if they don't have at least one card with 'when ~ adapts' or 'when a +1/+1 counter is placed on ~' with this mechanic I will add a Sol Ring to my cube.
Moving counters around is always a pretty cute mechanic, and I hope it plays nice with what at least one other guild is doing.

I agree! At least it looks like I'll be less unhappy about not running
in my cube this release. I swear I nearly caved when Tatyova, Benthic Druid was spoiled Undetstandable, that card is a bless. This time there is only Gruul and Orzhov for you, right?
I'm crossing my fingers to have the Gruul cards somehow help with my red/green aggro madness archetype, even though I have not much hope for this set. That deck needs more support desperarely in my singleton world.

S M A S H !
Okay that's an interesting mechanic with choices. When you're beating down, you might want the haste. But when you need to stabilize, a bigger creature is advantageous. Also, when the opponent can stabilize/block against your hasty creatures, you could still give them troubles with the slower, bigger version.
I also smell green aggro love.

I'm a fan of this Tribute/Bloodthirst hybrid mechanic. Definitely can see some applications in one of my Cubes.
That reminds me, this whole discussion makes me want to revamp my Peasant Cube...
I'm pretty sure he just knocked over the Coffee from Experimental Frenzy...S M A S H !
Good thing I drink tea.

Yup, just Gruul and Orhov. Both afterlife and riot are good mechanics though, so I might find some adds!
Fanatic of Xenagos, except good. Card is solid, Riot looks like a pretty clean mechanic for aggressive leaning RG archetypes. Might give it a run in my cube, lord knows RG has enough midrange-y creatures. Going Bloodbraid Elf into this seems like a real beating.
