Apostle of Invasion is a six-mana 3/3 that creates a Treasure when it enters and again whenever you cast a spell from anywhere other than your hand — blink it, cascade into it, or flash it back and the triggers stack up fast. The rate is clunky enough that you need a dedicated abuse shell to justify the slot, but in the right deck it pulls real weight.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Apostle of Invasion is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive non-rotating formats have no interest in a six-mana 3/3 with conditional upside. Commander is where Apostle of Invasion actually lives — specifically in blink, cascade, or reanimator builds that trigger the second ability repeatedly and turn those Treasures into mana acceleration or fodder for sacrifice payoffs. In Oathbreaker the tighter deck constraints make a six-drop this conditional even harder to justify unless your signature spell directly enables the trigger.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Apostle of Invasion is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and shipping, not the card itself. Bulk rares with narrow applications rarely climb unless a new commander breaks them open, so treat this as a free pickup if the synergy fits rather than a spec.
