Invoke

Invoke
Use Galakrond's Power.

Invoking Galakrond's Might. Galakrond is displayed to both players.

Invoke is an ability introduced in the Descent of Dragons expansion. When an Invoke card is played, the Hero Power of Galakrond will be activated, as long as the player has a Galakrond hero card in their hand, deck, or battlefield.

Invoke cards are also needed to upgrade Galakrond's Battlecry. Two are needed to upgrade him once, and four are needed to fully upgrade him.

Notes

• If you've never had a Galakrond card in your hand, deck, or battlefield, Invoke has no effect.
• The first Galakrond you gain control of (in either your hand or deck) becomes your "main Galakrond", and will be the source of your Invoke effects for the rest of the game.
• Invoke cards and Galakrond hero cards cannot be randomly generated.
• Invoke cards and Galakrond hero cards can still be copied by cards such as Mind Vision and Archbishop Benedictus.
• In case you have multiple different Galakronds in your deck at the start of the game, your Galakrond will match your class if possible or choose the one first detected by the game.
• If you have become Galakrond, playing a different Galakrond card will cause that version to become your main Galakrond.
• The Invoke effect is a separate function from the Invoke ability and does not count as having been cast by the card itself.

Example: Invoking Galakrond's Malice or Galakrond's Fury does not count as summoning a minion with a card, and will not trigger effects like Khadgar.

Example: Your opponent plays Praise Galakrond! then plays their Lackey. The Lackey will display "Created by Galakrond's Guile" underneath it.
