Is Tymora's Invoker good in Commander?

Tymora's Invoker in Commander — Combos, Decks & Price

Tymora's Invoker turns eight mana into a wheel, which in The Locust God or any draw-matters shell translates directly into a board of 1/1 fliers. The cost is real — eight is a lot — but the payoff is repeatable and on a body, which separates it from one-shot spells doing the same job.

Tymora's Invoker is a Commander card through and through — the eight-mana activation is barely a speed bump in a format with Sol Ring, Cabal Coffers, and Cultivate accelerating you into the late game. It's legal in Pauper and sees occasional play there in grindy blue-black control shells that can generate enough mana to fire it off, though the format's tempo constraints make it a fringe inclusion at best. Legacy and Vintage are legal on paper, but eight-mana activated abilities on three-mana creatures don't compete in formats where a single blue mana can end the game. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander 60-card format where it could show up meaningfully, particularly under a wheel-themed signature spell, but the smaller life totals and 20-card limit compress the window to activate it.
