Skittering Invasion card art
Skittering Invasion puts five 0/1 Eldrazi Spawn tokens onto the battlefield at instant speed — five bodies, five sacrifice outlets, and five mana worth of ramp the turn they arrive. The cost is steep at seven mana, but commanders like Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut convert those tokens into an immediate lethal attack, and Dualcaster Mage can copy it for a second wave that ends the game on the spot.

Skittering Invasion is a Commander card through and through — the format's slower pace makes seven mana achievable, and multiplayer life totals give five tokens time to matter. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but unplayable; seven-mana sorceries that don't immediately win the game on their own don't survive either format's speed. Oathbreaker can support it in the right shell, but the token count scales best when there are three opponents worth attacking.

Price Context

Current price

$0.42 bulk tier

At $0.42, Skittering Invasion sits firmly in bulk territory, which is accurate for a seven-mana sorcery with a narrow home. It's unlikely to climb unless a new Eldrazi or token commander pushes mass Spawn production into a mainstream strategy.
