Invocation of Saint Traft staples a 4/4 flying Angel token onto every attack you make for just two mana, as long as the enchanted creature swings alone. The ceiling is enormous but the restriction is real — this card is dead weight in any go-wide strategy and wins races only when you can reliably swing with a single threat.

In Commander, Invocation of Saint Traft is a pure voltron card — it belongs on a commander that swings alone and scales up with other auras, not in a deck that ever wants to attack with a team. Modern and Legacy have faster clocks and better aura payoffs, so it sees essentially no competitive play there despite being legal. Pioneer is similar — the card is technically legal but the redundancy simply isn't there for dedicated aura strategies. Oathbreaker is the closest alternative home, where a spellslinger or combat planeswalker can get repeated mileage from the Angel trigger in a condensed game.

Price Context
Current price
$0.26 bulk tier
At $0.26, Invocation of Saint Traft is pure bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a bulk bin. The price reflects its narrow role rather than any lack of power; it doesn't hold meaningful value and isn't likely to spike without a dedicated aura commander pushing demand.
