"Invoked", known as "Invoked Beast" (
Design
Design-wise, the archetype consists of "Invoked" Fusion Monsters who are seemingly Summoned through magic powers by sorcerers. This mechanic might be inspired by the summons of the Final Fantasy franchise, where magic beasts can be summoned during battle to aid the player; incidentally, one of the "Eidolon Beasts", "Raidjin", even shares the same name (in Japanese) with a Final Fantasy summon.
Individually, each "Invoked" represents a different Attribute, with their Fusion Materials being "Aleister the Invoker" plus one monster of their specific Attribute, and are named after historical or mythological elements related to said Attribute. They also contain the staff of "Aleister" somewhere in their artworks, but much brighter than the original.

Playing Style
The archetype's main goal is to perform Fusion Summons of the "Invoked" Fusion monsters, relying on "Aleister the Invoker" and the versatility of "Invocation" to do so. With the proper set-up, it is possible to build a very consistent and recursive strategy, in which "Reckless Magic Circle" searches "Aleister", which in turn searches "Invocation". Then, the Fusion Summons can be performed even using monsters from the opponent's Graveyard. Once "Aleister" is banished by "Invocation", it can be later recycled, creating a loop in which the player is granted to have access to the resources needed to keep on Fusion Summoning turn after turn. Also, "Invocation" can be used to banish troublesome monsters from the opponent's Graveyard in the process.
The said Fusion monsters are also very versatile, having effects that range from limiting the number of times a player can activate monsters' effects and attack, flipping monsters face-down, negating cards' effects and attacking multiple times. The variety of Attributes and the ability of "Invocation" of banishing monsters from the Graveyards also enables the Deck to use powerful engines, like the "Windwitch", that is used to Synchro Summon "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon". Also, hand traps like "Ghost Ash & Spring Flowers", "Effect Veiler", "Maxx "C"" can be given a last utility, by being used as Fusion Materials.
