Fierce Invocation
Sorcery
Manifest the top card of your library, then put two +1/+1 counters on it. (To manifest a card, put it onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.)

Fierce Invocation puts a 4/4 Elemental token with trample and haste onto the battlefield — immediate pressure, no setup required. The five-mana cost is the ceiling; Kitsa, Otterball Elite and similar token-value commanders are where this earns its slot.

Fierce Invocation is a bulk sorcery in every competitive format — five mana for a single token is too slow for Modern, Pioneer, or Legacy, where the game is often decided before turn five. Pauper is the one format where a 4/4 trampler with haste can close out a stalled board, though even there faster commons typically win the slot. Commander is the natural home: token synergies, Elemental tribal payoffs, and the slower pace of the format all make the five-mana ask reasonable.

Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Fierce Invocation is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and postage, not the card. Bulk commons and sorceries at this price point don't appreciate unless a new commander creates a sudden tribe-wide demand spike, so treat it as a free slot-filler rather than a pickup to hold.
