Invocation to Fusion leads to an Omega Summon!

Strategic Summary:

Welcome back for another Creative Deck Profile, and this time I’m taking on the new Invoked support wave in the upcoming Chaos Origins core set that was recently revealed. The Invoked archetype has existed for a while centered around Aleister the Invoker, which tutored Invocation upon Normal Summon. Once there, Invocation allows you to Fusion Summon using material from either GYs, which is quite easy when the original Invoked Fusions are made with Aleister and any monster of its Attribute, such as how Invoked Mechaba is made with any LIGHT monster. Why did I start with the old support? Well, the new support continues a similar vibe and flavor, just with a modern take.

The ‘new’ Aleister is Aleister the Reminiscent (YGOrg Translation), which can target any Spellcaster or Fusion on the field to Special Summon itself from hand, then when summoned, it tutors Invocation or a Spell that mentions it. Its new Invocation spell is Invocation “Sword” (YGOrg Translation), a Quick-Play Spell that can Fusion Summons an Invoked monster by returning banished monsters to the GY as material. And much like how Invocation can shuffle itself from the GY into the Deck by returning a banished OG Aleister to hand, “Sword” does the same by returning an Aleister or Invocation from GY back to hand. Then, just like the OG Fusions, the new wave of Invoked Fusions is made with an Aleister monster and a monster of a given attribute – for example, Invoked Babalon (YGOrg Translation) is made with a LIGHT or EARTH or Invoked Okeanos (YGOrg Translation) with a DARK or WATER. The ultimate boss for the new wave of support is Invoked Transcendance Aeon (YGOrg Translation), a Fusion made with 2+ Fusions of different Attributes, and when it is summoned, it banishes cards from the Field or GYs up to the number of materials used, then if you banished 3 or more, you also get to banish 3 cards from the opponent’s Extra Deck. This is especially powerful in conjunction with Super Polymerization whenever your facing an opponent using a Fusion deck, or even if you just want to use the Invoked monsters you leave on the field!

Despite combining new and old Invoked monsters, that isn’t the only archetype in play today, as I’ve also deployed a Magistus engine as well. Spenta, the Magistus Sealer of course makes an appearance alongside Crowley, the Gifted Magistus, but where the true value lies for this engine is its additions to the Extra Deck. You see, Zoroa, the Magistus Verethragna offers a Quick Effect to negate an activated monster effect and destroy a card on the field while Zoroa, the Magistus Conflagrant Calamity can prevent your opponent from activating the effects of monsters with the same card type as a Magistus in your S/T zone. Of course one is attached whenever Conflagrant is Synchro Summoned, typically the LINK Artemis, the Magistus Moon Maiden, but you can also leverage Spenta to attach a Fusion as well using its effect in the GY, since Invoked Magistus Omega exists! You can even send two of your attached Magistus to the GY to Special Summon Magistus Chorozo in a pinch, giving you another Fusion when needed. This deck weaponizes the Fusion Summon in amazing ways, so make the most of The Book of the Law with the Invoked and the Magistus together!
