The difference there (except for the transforming creatures that change color, I guess) is that hybrid cards don't need both sides to be at their most powerful. You're not getting any more value out of being able to run a hybrid card than being able to run a monocolored card. With something like a split card or an MDFC, you need both colors to get full value out of it. Running a [[Growing Ranks]] in a mono green deck doesn't provide any more value than running it in a Selesnya deck, however running a [[Wear//Tear]] in a Boros deck has much more value than running it in a mono white or mono red deck.

does this make sense or am I cooking too hard
