Invoked Breakdown

Invoked Deck Guide: How to Play

Playstyle and Win Condition

Invoked Deck
The Invocation archetype is an incredibly flexible Fusion Deck that makes use of the titular Spell Card and its searcher, Aleister the Invoker. They thrive on having multiple Attributes among monsters to Special Summon some of the strongest Fusion Monsters relative to their effects, from floodgates to monster battles during the Battle Phase.

While the Invoked Deck has been around for a while, it never really got a standalone Deck, often supporting other archetypes to be used for their Fusion Monsters. Now, with the help of some new Magistus cards from the Regeneration of Stars Selection Pack, the Deck can finally be on its own in some way.

Key Invoked Cards

The bread and butter cards for the Invoked archetype involves Magical Meltdown to search for Aleister the Invoker who in turn can help you grab the Archetype's Fusion Spell, Invocation. This can lead the way to Fusion Summoning any Invoked Monster by banishing cards from either players' Field or GY.

Keep in mind that if you summon an Invoked Fusion monster when using Invocation, you can make use of your GY or the opponent's to banish them as material. This is especially good for Decks that use the GY as a resource pool.

Speaking of, each of the monsters from the Fusion Deck are powerful in their own right. Invoked Caliga is a floodgate that bottlenecks both players to using only 1 monster effect per turn. Invoked Purgatrio gets stronger for each card the opponent controls on the Field, can sweep against all the opponent's monsters once each and deals piercing battle damage.

Invoked Mechaba is the best of them all, with its ability to negate each card type—Monster, Spell and Trap Card—once per turn. It also banishes the negated card, which can debilitate some archetypes depending on the match-up.

Invoked Magistus Omega

A new addition that came is Invoked Magistus Omega, and it makes use of an Extra Deck monster as material. On Fusion Summon, it banishes a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monster in your GY and 1 other monster on the field. Then, it has a floating effect to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Spellcaster Monster and turn this card into a Equip Card to boost that monster's ATK.

Magistus Cards

The Magistus cards happend to be quite a good archetype to synergize with Invoked, and judging from some of the cards that come from the archetype, there seems to be some connection from the lore that carries over to the card game.

Zoroa, the Magistus of Flame enables the archetype's signature playstyle of turning Spellcaster monsters into Equip Cards. Its newer companion, Spenta, the Magistus Sealer, is a Magistus monster searcher or a means to half the ATK of 1 of the opponent's monsters. It can also banish itself to make a different Magistus card from the Extra Deck an equip spell.

Connecting the two is Crowley The Magistus of Grimoires, which can Special Summon itself from the hand. It can change Attribute once per turn, and also shares the equipment effect like the previous two are.

Then comes the Extra Deck monsters for the archetype, all having some immediate effect when they hit the field.

For Fusions, we have Zoroa, the Magistus Verethragna and Aiwass, the Magistus Spell Spirit; both have effects where they will target a monster on the field to turn into an Equip Spell.

Zoroa prevents the opponent from activating monster effects of the same Extra Deck type as those they have as Equip Spells; Aiwass boost the stats of the monster its equipped to.

While the Deck is predominantly focused on Fusion Monsters, there are a couple of Synchro Monsters too. Zoroa, the Magistus of Flame in the Main Deck is a Tuner, making some options for Synchro Monsters open.

Zoroa, the Magistus Conflagrant Calamity shares the same effect as its Fusion retrain of preventing monster effect activations, while Vahram, the Magistus Divinity Dragon protects the monster it is equipped to from card destruction effects from Spells and Traps.

Boss Monsters

Invoked Mechaba
Invoked Mechaba Invoked Mechaba is the main Invoked Fusion monster you want to summon most of the time among the Invoked. It can negate a Monster, Spell or Trap from activating their effects by discarding a card of the same type from the hand. Once that card is negated, it is then banished.
Invoked Caliga
Invoked Caliga So long as Invoked Caliga is face-up on the field, both players can only attempt to activate 1 monster effect per turn. The wording on the card text is important here, as that means if a monster effect activation is negated, that player is blocked from using other monster effects for the rest of the turn.
Invoked Magistus Omega
Invoked Magistus Omega Invoked Magistus Omega banishes a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link monster from your GY in order to banish another monster on the field to be banished. When destroyed, this monster triggers its floating effect to Special Summon a Leve 4 or lower Spellcaster monstyer straight from the Deck, then turns this card into an Equip Card.
Thunder Dragon Colossus
Thunder Dragon Colossus There is a small line of monsters that involves Infernal Flame Banshee, Nemeses Flag and Nemeses Corridor that can lead up to summoning Thunder Dragon Colossus. This card serves as a floodgate from adding cards outside of drawing them, making incoming searcher effects ineffective.
Zoroa, the Magistus Conflagrant Calamity
Zoroa, the Magistus Conflagrant Calamity Zoroa, the Magistus Conflagrant Calamity can immediately use one of the other Magistus Extra Deck monsters as an Equip Spell to itself on Fusion Summon. While so, the opponent is locked out from activating monsters with the same Monster Card type.
Vahram, the Magistus Divinity Dragon
Vahram, the Magistus Divinity Dragon When Vahram, the Magistus Divinity Dragon is destroyed, it nukes all face-up cards the opponent controls. However, it's value is more evident as an Equip Card. The monster this card is equipped to cannot be destroyed from Spell and Trap effects, and can destroy the monster that attacks it at the start of the Damage Step.

Invoked Counters: How to Beat

Best Decks against Invoked

Maliss

Master Duel - Maliss

With how powerful Maliss is in the current format, it feels like no matter how much preparation and board setting a player can do, Maliss will break through even the best boards due to their effects when being banished.

They got even more consistent to their other boss monsters with the addition of generic @Ignister monsters like Backup @Ignister and Allied Code Talker @Ignister. However, the most dangerous of the Maliss cards is White Binder for its ability to banish cards from the GY every time it is Special Summoned once per turn.

Maliss Deck Guide and Card List

Ryzeal

Master Duel - Ryzeal

Ryzeal is very consistent for its ability to get into its powerful Rank 4 Xyz monsters, especially with Ryzeal Detonator's card destruiction effect being used so long as it has materials to detach from itself.

There is also the various choices of Level 4 engines. From Sharks to Heraldic Beast, Magistus to Mathmech, expect players experimenting how to get to one of the Ryzeal monsters.

Gem-Knight

Master Duel - Gem-Knight

The Gem-Knights just got a new breath of life with new card added to their archetype in the Regeneration of Stars Selection Pack. With the new cards allowing the Deck to swarm the field with Fusion Monsters, they can now go second blindly and still find ways to break the board and get their monsters on the field.

What gave this Deck newfound strength are Gem-Knight Nepyrim being a Mathmech Circular for the archetype, Gem-Knight Quartz making access to Brilliant Fusion or Gem-Knight Fusion easy, and Gem-Knight Master Diamond Dispersion bringing out the older Gem-Knight Fusion monsters to beat down the opponent's LP.

Best Cards to Tech Against Invoked

Dimensional Barrier
Dimensional Barrier For Trap-heavy Decks, expect Dimensional Barrier to be the most frequent card to shut down the Invoked. It disables all summons from the chosen Extra Deck Monster type for the rest of the turn, and even blocks them from using their own effects at the same time.
Anti-Spell Fragrance
Anti-Spell Fragrance It is understated how important the Fusion Monsters and Invocation are to this Deck. So much so that denying them even a turn from activation can make or break a Duel. Hence, Anti-Spell Fragrance is another recommended Trap Card even if it is currently Limited. Barring them from using Fusion Spells immediately restricts the Deck's playstyle significantly.
Maxx "C" and Mulcharmy Fuwalos
Maxx "C" Mulcharmy Fuwalos Because of the Deck's reliance on the Extra Deck and Special Summons, an Invoked player should be prepared to tackle Maxx "C" and Mulcharmy Fuwalos once they begin Special Summoning and Fusion Summoning. Worst case scenario is that they activate both at the same Effect Chain, and then the hand trap user ends up drawing a second Fuwalos.
Super Polymerization
Super Polymerization Super Polymerization at 3 copies legally makes it not only a viable alternate option for Invoked, it is also a very powerful counter. This Quick-Play Fusion Spell can use monsters from both sides of the field for Fusion Material, and it cannot be responded to with card effects. This makes it extremely hard to negate, if not counter, this Spell's activation.
