Invasion of the Giants is a two-for-one that lets you scry 2 and draw a Giant on entry, then deals damage equal to a Giant's power to any target when it sieges out — all for two mana. In Aegar, the Freezing Flame decks specifically, that ping-for-power on the back half triggers excess damage draw, making this cheap enchantment do real work at both ends.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Aegar, the Freezing Flame
Invasion of the Giants shows up in over half of all Aegar, the Freezing Flame decks because the battle's siege-flip deals damage equal to a Giant's power, which routinely exceeds a small creature's toughness and feeds Aegar's excess-damage draw engine.
Ruhan of the Fomori
Ruhan of the Fomori is a 7/7 Giant himself, so Invasion of the Giants both digs for him and, once flipped, threatens a lethal-range ping using his power as the baseline.

In Commander, Invasion of the Giants punches well above its mana cost — the scry 2 and Giant-draw smooth your curve, and the flip trigger can pick off mana dorks or planeswalkers while triggering excess-damage payoffs in Giant-tribal builds. In Modern and Pioneer, two mana for a cantripping battle is fringe-playable in dedicated Giant strategies but too narrow to see broad adoption. Legacy and Vintage have no realistic home for it given the power level of alternatives. It's a card that only gets better the more Giants you run, which confines its best application squarely to tribal Commander.

Price Context
Current price
$0.23 bulk tier
At $0.23, Invasion of the Giants is bulk — buy the whole playset for under a dollar. Bulk tribal pieces rarely spike unless the tribe gets a breakout commander, so don't expect movement, but there's zero barrier to just picking it up.
