Aleister and Invocation in Competitive Dueling!

[76561198443235523]

Aleister the Invoker and the Invocation Spell Card were both added to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links around two months ago in the Dark Dimension Main BOX, but didn’t immediately see a ton of PvP play. Now, these two cards, along with the Invoked Fusion Monsters, are a dominating force in Ranked Duels and had a huge impact on the recent Kaiba Corporation Cup. Take a look at why these cards are so powerful right now!

Aleister the Invoker and Invocation work together to facilitate Fusion Summons of the Invoked monsters. Aleister lets you add Invocation from your Deck to your hand if it’s Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, and Invocation lets you Fusion Summon monsters. When it’s used to Fusion Summon an Invoked Fusion Monster, Invocation can banish cards from your field and/or either Graveyard to use as Fusion Materials.

The release of Invoked Purgatrio in the latest Aerial Assault Main BOX makes it so that there’s an Invoked Fusion Monster in Duel Links for four different Attributes: FIRE, WATER, EARTH, and DARK. These four Fusion Monsters are all Summoned by combining Aleister with a monster of a specific Attribute and have a wide range of effects and strengths.

Invoked Purgatrio, for example, which is Summoned by fusing Aleister with a FIRE monster, gains ATK for each monster your opponent controls, inflicts piercing damage, and can attack all of your opponent’s monsters. Invoked Cocytus, which is Summoned by fusing Aleister with a WATER monster, has 2900 DEF, can’t be targeted or destroyed by an opponent’s card effects, and can attack while it’s in Defense Position.

Although the Invoked Fusion Monsters are powerful, one of the greatest strengths of Invocation is its power to banish cards from an opponent’s Graveyard. Banishing an opponent’s Darklord monster, Crystron monster, or Keeper of the Shrine, for example, could be devastating to an opponent. Leaving a powerful Fusion Monster on the field immediately after banishing a key card from an opponent’s Graveyard could be Duel-ending.

Part of what makes Aleister and Invocation so powerful together is the fact that they can be used over and over again. If Invocation is in your Graveyard, you can target a banished Aleister and shuffle Invocation into your Deck to add that Aleister to your hand.

Use Aleister’s effect to add Invocation to your hand, and then activate Invocation to banish Aleister for a Fusion Summon. Once Aleister is banished, you can use Invocation’s effect in the Graveyard to return Aleister to your hand and Summon it once more to grab Invocation back from your Deck. Because of this interaction between Aleister the Invoker and Invocation that allows you to use one of them to grab the other, the number of times you can activate Invocation in a Duel is only limited by the number of Fusion Monsters in your Extra Deck.

Finally, Aleister the Invoker has one more effect that can be used to turn the tide of a Duel. By sending it from your hand to your Graveyard during either player’s turn, you can increase the ATK and DEF of a Fusion Monster you control by 1000. Using this effect to increase the stats of one of your Invoked Fusion Monsters can save your monster in battle and can allow it to decimate an opponent’s Life Points.

Aleister the Invoker and Invocation were once powerful cards to use in Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME tournaments. Although they weren’t immediately popular in Duel Links, they now seem to be gaining recognition for their strengths and are being used in some of the most powerful PvP Decks.

What do you think of Aleister the Invoker, Invocation, and the Invoked Fusion Monsters in PvP Dueling?

I said it before. invoke sucks. it can literally lose to anything. in fact you can even play anything against them as they do not prevent interaction. can you negate invocation? yes you can . shien silent magician, rebirth of parshath, any counter trap. you can negate it. you can floodgate, canadia the fusion monster, cosmic cyclone the invocation and it's a dead forever as it will not be recycled. you can play anything you want against them. this is why it isn't even worth discussing. ban darklords. thats negation. ban elemental sabers, thats negation and putting everything you play face down. ban blackwings: infinite draw, counter, and blow your entire field away in one turn. ban triamids, there's literally nothing you can do when they recycle all their cards. ban whatever. but at the end of the day you can play anything you want against invoke. invoke doesn't protect and invoke doesn't negate, and invoke requires a multi card combo condition. look at the rest of the cancer decks out there.

Is this guy serious?

I just read the dudes post, this idiot is one of those "ban Triamids" people, yeah pretty sure he is serious but always doubt, if he is serious he's an idiot

discord chan don't lose my respect. that was a dumb response as you did not argue that invocation could not be negated nor did you argue that invoke fusion monsters could not be responded to with cards like floodgate, canadia etc. a is this serious is just under your level unless you want to lose your own respect.

I don't *need* or *want* your respect.... just to be clear..

Correct, invocation can be negated. You know what else can be negated? Every other card in the game minus a few exceptions. You know what else can be responded to with floodgate, canadia, etc..? Every monster with the exception of some non-targetable ones (in regards to canadia).

Invoked is a very strong deck. It can make a non-targetable, indestructible (via card effects), and very beefy monster VERY easily. If you seriously think that SILENT MAGICIAN is on the same level as Invoked, you're wrong. Sure, you can CC their Invocation but you know what's neat? They don't really care and can just play right through it.

Your argument is basically "I can build a stun deck and they lose cause I negate everything." Well, here's a real world example:

I play Sky Strikers in the TCG, currently the top deck. My opponent played Counter Fairies. So his deck was literally made to negate ANYTHING I do at spell speed 3. I won, because my cards don't care.

Just because you can negate stuff in a deck, doesn't mean it's a bad deck.

Darklords have already been hit, and I can't imagine them getting another hit and still being viable, just get good against them.

Elemental Sabers are garbage......on their own...
Which is why people play Invoked with them ;D.

I agree, Blackwings need a hit, and they'll probably get one next list. I'm thinking whirlwind to 2?

Ban triamids? Seriously? I don't think I need to waste my time on that argument.

Invoked doesn't protect and doesn't negate? Well, they have a boss monster that has built in protection.....so there's that. And negate? Who tf cares? Not every deck needs a negate in DL.


Argued enough for you?


Thanks, and have a nice day.

Dude needs to stop by my Ted Talk and learn what Triamids is before saying they need to be banned

"are you serious?"

zero turn kill. guess everyone is still distracted trying to kill a multi condition play anything against them support deck (invoke)

So you have no response to anything I said and instead posted an irrelevant video of a gimmick deck?

Nice.

It spams the same as all other spams. No? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe players playing Invoked are indeed skilled champions. Nah, they just abuse Aleister's effs.
The fact that there's way more powerful (not) spams available, doesn't mean that Invoked is okay.

And Fortune Lady Every And Cyber Angel Dakini Laugh @ Cocytus.
(cosmic cyclone, floodgate,share the pain, or a simple monster in def position prevents cocytus from doing anything.) invoke also straight up dies against Burn decks.

Nothing is certain about those, that's one big "if", while Invoked decks spam by nature. No? Maybe I'm wrong again.

Yeah it is, cause I'm not considering using FLs and CAs just to deal with other unfair spams. Besides, you're not gonna know what the other guy is playing until after the duel begins.

Fortune Ladies aren't even worth, against decks like Blackwing and ElementSabers you are better off surrendering, although CA can be a good OTK if you have the right stuff and do the proper plays

spam? look like you don't read the card. invocation can only be used once per turn. and their invocations are limited to the size of their extra deck and how many of which types are in it. also it is multi conditional. a simple necrovalley or cosmic cyclone kills it.

You get the card with Aleister, then Invocation returns Aleister to hand from grave to do it again next turn. Spam. Also, Invoked are played as support to other spam-decks, imagine the spam-possibilities then.

Woooow, the time indeed came that Necrovalley is considered a simple addition to a deck, lol, wow.
Again, I'm not into using one deck just because it potentially negates another. I hate Cosmic Cyclone, WoD and TTH too, every pvp deck includes them. Way to go, duelists!!
This game is the worst publicity for yugioh in general ever. I should be running this show, I'd turn it into a real diamond, but with a smaller community. lol
