riptide raptor and empyrian eagle
riptide raptor has evolve. when it is a 1/2 and i drop an empyrian eagle which is a 2/3, the riptide raptor should evolve to a 2/3 and then get +1/+1 from empyrian eagle, making the riptide raptor a 3/4 overall. currently, when riptide raptor is a 1/2 and you drop an empyrian eagle, the riptide ends up a 2/3. I've lost a few games to this.

Not a bug. Static abilities apply immediately with the card entering the correct zone (usually the battlefield), so even before state based actions are checked. After SBAs, trigger conditions are checked, and your now 2/3 Raptor (can't find a card with the proposed name, but I assume it has flying) has neither less power than the Eagle nor less toughness, so evolve doesn't trigger.
