Either I never realized it before or I forgot that every Magic creature with "Invoker" it its name has an activated ability that costs {8}.

Straight into my Vorel deck. OP!

That creature type tho. This could probably be rare without the blue ability which is way over the top. At the very least this thing says 'target player discards a removal spell'.

He got bigger

Aw, come on, guys. He's fun!

I liked it better before actually. An invoker should be a little dude that gets extra use in the late game.

Smaller once more

I don't think anyone's saying he's not fun. I like it.

I was attempting to make a joke, but time and experience has shown me I'm not good at that online.
I think 19 mana is a fair investment for 8 cards (and beyond), though that's not taking other factors into account.

I thought you might be joking, but I wasn't 100% sure my joke came across, in which case you wouldn't necessarily joke back. Let's all just agree to be completely serious in everything we do at all times from now on.

Reminds me of Gigantomancer.

Weird to see an Invoker that's rare. The two cycles of Invokers in printed Magic were commons, as a way to provide a way to break ground stalls due to too many creatures (in Legions) / lots of high-toughness low-power creatures (in Rise of the Eldrazi).

It originated from a forum game that involved making commanders which called for an invoker, which is why it's not common.
Dude... I don't know if I can abide by that restriction. I'll try.

I assumed dude was joking when he said "Let's all just agree to be completely serious in everything we do at all times from now on" but now I'm not sure...

FWIW, this card may not be perfect, but I love it, it's really pretty! I wish the second ability was more useful by itself, I wonder if it could be power instead, although that would be more mono-green than GU.

Thanks JackV.

I considered that change as well, but this way limits the power somewhat.
