Estrid's Invocation card art
Estrid's Invocation copies any enchantment on the battlefield and replaces itself for free at your upkeep — the copy clause turns every enchantment ETB trigger into a repeating engine. Decks built around Estrid, the Masked and enchantress payoffs run it as a functional second copy of whatever does the most work, and Terra, Magical Adept // Esper Terra players lean on the flicker loop to generate cascading value.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Estrid, the Masked

Estrid, the Masked

70.3% of decks · synergy 0.67

Estrid, the Masked's +2 untaps enchanted permanents, so Estrid's Invocation copying a mana-generating Aura or a high-value enchantment effectively doubles the untap targets — the free upkeep swap means you're never stuck copying something irrelevant for long.

02
Tuvasa the Sunlit

Tuvasa the Sunlit

57.0% of decks · synergy 0.54

Every enchantment that enters triggers Tuvasa the Sunlit's draw ability, and Estrid's Invocation enters as an enchantment each upkeep, giving Tuvasa a consistent card-draw trigger every turn without spending additional resources.

03
Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor

Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor

41.0% of decks · synergy 0.40

Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor cares about Curses, and Estrid's Invocation copying an opponent's Curse each upkeep means Lynde's damage and card-draw triggers fire repeatedly without needing to cast additional Curses.

04
Zur, Eternal Schemer

Zur, Eternal Schemer

37.5% of decks · synergy 0.33

Zur, Eternal Schemer animates enchantments, and Estrid's Invocation flickering into a new copy each upkeep gives Zur a fresh creature-enchantment to attack with every turn cycle.

05
Aminatou, Veil Piercer

Aminatou, Veil Piercer

36.8% of decks · synergy 0.32

Aminatou, Veil Piercer punishes opponents whenever enchantments leave play, so Estrid's Invocation sacrificing itself every upkeep reliably triggers Aminatou's ability on a predictable schedule while the new copy resets onto whatever enchantment is currently most threatening.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Estrid's Invocation is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but Commander is essentially its entire competitive context. In Modern and Legacy, a three-mana enchantment that only copies other enchantments is too slow and parasitic to see serious play — the formats don't have the enchantment density to justify it. Commander is where Estrid's Invocation earns its slot: enchantress builds run deep enough that the copy is almost always hitting something broken, and the free upkeep exchange makes it nearly impossible to strand.
