Fierce Invocation

Description

Fierce Invocation is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering Fate Reforged set, released in 2015. As card number 98 in the set, it represents a strategic tool for players seeking to manipulate their library and board state through the manifest mechanic. The card requires five mana to cast and is colored red, fitting into aggressive or mid-range strategies that value board presence and card advantage. The primary ability of Fierce Invocation allows the caster to manifest the top card of their library. Manifesting places a card onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature, which can be turned face up later by paying its mana cost if it is a creature card. This effect provides flexibility, as it can potentially reveal a creature to gain immediate value or keep a non-creature card hidden to avoid targeting. Additionally, the card places two +1/+1 counters on the manifested creature, enhancing its survivability and impact on the battlefield. Designed by Tyler Jacobson, this card embodies the thematic elements of the Fate Reforged era, which explored the consequences of altered timelines in the Magic universe. The flavor text hints at the power of emotion in driving action, aligning with the red mana color identity. Collectors appreciate Fierce Invocation for its clean design and its role in the Fate Reforged block, which expanded the ruleset with innovative mechanics like manifest. Whether you are building a deck or completing your Fate Reforged collection, this card offers a unique interaction that rewards careful planning and timing.
