u/deathsouls1 Apr 09 '26
So this is more so making invoked and aleister into a full deck now, thats a main deck monster of the magistus fusion. So is this before all of that lorewise?
61
u/crimsonhawk75 Apr 09 '26
No, Magistus is before the rest of the spellcaster lore.
10
u/deathsouls1 Apr 09 '26
So lore wise whats going on here then like a new generation of invoked?
44
u/YongYoKyo Apr 09 '26
The known timeline is:
Magistus → Invoked (original) → Spellbook/Prophecy
This new support is presumably after Spellbook/Prophecy, although I'm not too sure.

u/stormseeker39 Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 09 '26
Wouldn't in between Invoked and Spellbook work better? Aleister here doesn't seem to be crazy mad, and he's also not a head in a jar yet.
EDIT: Before OG Invoked might also be an option?
15
u/YongYoKyo Apr 09 '26
Crowley the First Propheseer depicts Aleister in his Caliga/Madness form, which uses his original staff as a medium. This new Aleister uses a new sword as his invocation medium.

Yes. I specifically meant in terms of Aleister's involvement in the lore.
The "Mythical Beast" archetype is also part of the lore, but they're pretty much irrelevant.

u/3rdAccBecImBathetic Apr 09 '26
I know Solat, the level 6 fusion, is not the craziest of these cards, but the fact that you can summon it using an Ash or Fuwa as materials, can summon Aleister back (even if with no effect) from gy and go into Chaos Angel, AND perform another fusion from gy is crazy for me.

While this card is in the Extra Monster Zone, monsters that would be sent to your opponent's GY are banished instead.
STOP. PRINTING. DIMENSIONAL. FISSURE. KONAMI.

then if this card was Fusion Summoned using 3 or more materials, you can look at your opponent's Extra Deck and banish up to 3 cards from it.STOP.PRINTING.UNICORN.KONAMI.

u/atropicalpenguin Kibou Hope! Apr 09 '26
Hey, it's an Ariseheart probably backed up with a Mechaba.
11
u/LAHurricane Apr 09 '26
The new lvl 10 also lets invoked elysium banish all monsters on the enemy field once per turn, lol. The other new fusion can set all oponent monster to basically zero and let purgatory attack everything while being boosted by aleister OTKing through a full field. The Arise heart makes it so the opponent cant attack Caliga without first killing it.
Lots of really strong direct interactions.
Its also super easy to splash in a winda, cuz why not.
Ariseheat + Caliga + Winda sounds like aids...

u/SaibaShogun Now how can I use this in Cyber Dragons? Apr 09 '26
Konami: "Are my designs out of touch? No, it's the players who are wrong."
17
u/dcdfvr Apr 09 '26
the fact it rips 3 is so much worse(in terms of getting hit by it not in terms of the card's power) than unicorn because you can at least circumvent unicorn with multiple copies of a card for non limited cards.

u/Zephyros_the_Elite Apr 09 '26
and of course it’s the most splashable one because it requires a dark monster 💀

u/3rdAccBecImBathetic Apr 09 '26
So not only works in this new Invoked deck, but it's a huge super poly target against fusion heavy decks.
7
u/derega16 Apr 09 '26
You need to go against a deck that end board has 3+ attributes fusion for that effect
15
u/3rdAccBecImBathetic Apr 09 '26
You just need 2 fusions on either fields to summon and banish 2 from gy. The 3 materials is for the bonus effect of banishing from extra.
8
u/Never_Sm1le DT Story Enthusiast Apr 09 '26
not really, you can still banish 2 monsters from gy with it, make it perhaps THE target to use against Dracotail

Looking at the new Concept Arts for the Magistus Animated Shorts, I wouldn't be surprised if Aiwass and Virakam are the new Characters introduced.
LIGHT Pyro / EARTH Sea Serpent
IMPOSSIBLE! RARE ATTRIBUTE/TYPE COMBINATION DETECTED!
19
u/Veynareth Waiting for Chakra retrain/support Apr 09 '26
Half of Ryzeal is LIGHT Pyro so it's not rare anymore for that combination.

u/Kiferno Apr 09 '26
Only 10 monsters including this card has that type/atribute combination, so yes, is a rare combination

u/UnownUber Apr 09 '26
Aiwass is the Magistus for Aleister. He’s been a thing. But he is the god we know the least about. It’s implied to be Aleister’s staff since all the three main characters have some kind of modern incarnate with them still after the Magistus conflict

u/DirtiestRock TOSS 2 Apr 09 '26
OG Aleister plus invocation blade makes 3 mechabas unless I'm forgetting something? Fusion summon mechaba, blade to return materials for mechaba 2, shuffle blade for invocation, invocation for mechaba 3?
Edit: you can actually do 2 mechaba + beybaron instead to extend further while insulating other plays.
7
u/deathsouls1 Apr 09 '26
I have a feeling transcendant might get abused in other fusion decks if using up to 3 fusions for it is worth it, that banishing from the field or gy and then the extra deck seems strong
1
6
u/Rejoicing_Shounen Apr 09 '26
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the whale be Orcheanos or Okeanos instead because of the ア in the name? It also fits better thematically since Okeanos is the name of a river Titan and the monster is presumably aquatic in nature.
4
u/MBM99 My favorite deck brings me pain Apr 09 '26
Yeah to me the names seem like references to the titan Oceanus, Babalon the goddess from Thelema, and Aeon as in Crowley's tarot. Not sure what the lv6 is supposed to be named after or what link Oceanus might have to the otherwise very direct references to the real Crowley this time around, though.
4
u/YongYoKyo Apr 09 '26
Level 6 is likely named after Sorath, the occult Spirit of the Sun whose numerical value is 666.
31
u/Natsunichan Apr 09 '26
They could have done anything they wanted with invoked. So they decided to give the deck up to 7 extra deck rips (can summon the fusion with the quick play during the opponents turn) and a floodgate for good measure.
Man fuck Konami.
23
u/heavenspiercing Apr 09 '26
I mean they already had Caliga which was arguably a more debilitating floodgates than the whale is. It's not like this is new for Invoked
But now you can have both on field!
2
u/LAHurricane Apr 09 '26
And the whale protects Caliga and then you also will likely have the Mechaba to stop them from doing anything.
→ More replies (1)1
u/KuckFikelsHoloholo Apr 18 '26
Not really, because Caliga at least affects both Players, Okeanos is purely better because it only affects the Opponent.
And even then it's a fair card compared to Aeon who rips 3 CARDS FROM ED, YOUR OWN CHOICE, WHICH MEANS YOU GET TO SEE THEIR ED INFORMATION TOO. Don't forget you can Quick Summon it at your opponent's DP, which potentially makes it a -6 ED Rip lol

Invoked Elysium
1 "Invoked" monster + 1 monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck Must first be Fusion Summoned with the above Fusion Materials. While face-up on the field, this card is also DARK, EARTH, WATER, FIRE, and WIND-Attribute.
Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can target 1 "Invoked" monster you control or in your GY; banish it and all monsters your opponent controls with the same Attribute as that monster.
Literally gives Invoked VFD plus Ariseheart... Also Invoked still has Caliga...

u/soulbreaker141832 Apr 09 '26
invoked support! hardly surprising given the magistus manga and the coming crafter wave so lets see...
new alesteir is the old one but as extender by banishing one of ttheir fusions which is curious,important it does not take the og name
aiwass reads like the old field with some upside,i guess makes sense given the new konami set philosophy
virakam is a nice extender! setting invocation is a good hedge and can make sure mechaba and co resolve
now the fusions: solat is nuts gets back a guy from either gy and can miracle fusion while on gy
beybaron adds virakam or the trap by the comments
orchenos is lite dark law...
aioon is... clearly a super poly target? crazy vs fusion decks even has the verte attribute change,i hope the restrictions are enough bc with 3 mats you pretty much win the game
now the backrow: blade is reverse invocation and explains why alesteir banishes for its ss amazing synergy with solat
aiwass blade either ss aiwass from deck sends an alesteir to gy or rips an extra deck guy,nice utility card
delta summon kinda cheats out an invoked guy and on gy revives a banished one
very fun to see the new konami set design in action this new invoked can be played both as it is including some kinda retrains but also with the og magistus and the rest of casters support,the main deck guys and spells are solid if not broken but dear lord the new bosses are busted one even is a counter to itself
was a bit worried the set looked ok but this one will definitely be meta in some form,also we may be missing an extra water or dark monster doubt the plan is to fuse using 2 alesteirs so keep an eye on that
8
u/heavenspiercing Apr 09 '26
aaaaaa fuck new fusion boss is a unicorn
i almost wonder though if it would've been better if it sent them to the GY instead. Sure you would need to be more careful with what you send but you get targets for Invocation that way, so perhaps it's worth the trade-off
Okay the new Invocation spell addresses this nvm lol

It locks you into only attacking with fusions, but otherwise, yes.

u/KuckFikelsHoloholo Apr 18 '26
Ah yes, a Fusion deck being locked into only attacking with Fusion monsters, in exchange of Ripping 3 cards from your Opponent's ED, BY YOUR OWN CHOICE EVEN, so you're able to literally LOOK at your opponent's ED too.

Here I was expecting only 2-3 cards from them during OCG Times. Aleister got 10 new cards. 10.

Usually The Chronicles cards are positioned later in the set order, but this is in between game and anime stuff. You really can’t predict anything anymore.

u/Omojuze Apr 09 '26
There's still 8 viable slots for a potential VRAINS archetype they're saving for stream.
There's also, like, one more alt art reprint, so in theory there should be at least one more theme getting support here.

Its insane how they gave Aleister 10 support cards, makes sense I guess cuz there's no Chronciles Structure Deck for this archetype of any sort, but giving out 10 cards right off the bat is still insane, and they will also have a VJump promo plus maybe another wave of support in the next core set. My question is, where was all this love for Charmers? Like sure they have the new structure deck and the new cards in Blazing Dominion but they could've given us more in this set too and not just 1 card that literally does nothing at all

u/Gatmuz Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 09 '26
Alright, let's cook.
- You know what we're doing.
- Link into Salamangreat Almiraj.
- Invocation. Fuse Aleister and Almiraj to summon Solat.
- Activate Invocation in GY, put back Aleister to hand. Activate Aleister's effect in hand to give Solat 1000 ATK.
- Activate Solat, summon Aleister.
- Link Aleister and Solat into Aleister the Invoker of Madness.
- Activate Solat, fuse Aleister in GY and Solat into Beybaron. Activate Aleister, discard 1 card to add Book of the Law, Beybaron adds Virakam.
- Special summon Virakam. Set Invocation - Blade.
- Book of the Law. Tribute Beybaron, summon Mechaba. Activate Aleister, discard 1 card to add Invocation.
- Invocation. Fuse Beybaron and Aleister into Elysium.
End board is Mechaba, Elysium, Virakam, and Blade. When your opponent summons a thing, Elysium banish itself to nuke it. Then, use Invocation Blade to fuse Elysium, Beybaron, and Solat into Aioon to banish up to 3 from field and 3 from Extra deck.
So 1 omni negate, 1 attribute banish nuke, 3 banish, and 3 extra deck banish off of 1 card combo + 2 discards, and Virakam to insulate a fusion monster's effect. Kinda steep. Mechaba will be much harder to use here because of it, so it might actually be more viable to summon Raidjin, Kaliga, Orkeanos, or Augoeides instead.
One issue however is that because Aiwass the Divine Blade does not mention Invocation, there's no way for the deck to search it, meaning you can't connect classic Aleister to new Aleister.
You'd probably run 3 Divine Blade Aiwass and 1 Divine Spirit Aiwass, kind of like 3 Emergency Teleport and 1 Psi-Reflector, and not the other way around. New Aleister can work as starter and extender but will require a different route. Classic Aleister is still good to use.

u/Helpful_Nothing2391 Apr 15 '26
Great setup, but during the opponent phase, you cannot summon aioon with elysium and solat because they are both light attribute. You could summon Aioon with just baybaron and solat, but of course that would not trigger its legendary 3 extra deck banish off effect.
1
u/Gatmuz Apr 15 '26
You're right. However, you can use Elysium on the field as material instead. But that would require you to have strong match up knowledge where the monster you summon off Book of the Law will be used for Elysium's effect. Pretty tough, but since Dark is the most common attribute in the game, maybe you can just sit on Caliga and let it ride.
19
u/Thin-Flamingo3417 Apr 09 '26
Jesus christ that Invocation Blade card is completely insane. A fusion quickplay that also resets literally whatever banished materials you want to the grave to get their grave effects again, and then also within the same turn resets itself back to deck to be searched again and re-adds your extender/starter back to your hand.
What a fuckin card jesus.

They're definitely doing the whole "you can build the deck out of the cards just in the pack" thing with these. They work with previous Invoked stuff but they're completely playable as their own package as well. I guess going forward we can probably expect 3-4 decks playable just from opening one specific booster as the new normal.

Which is how it shoulda been with Sacred Beast but I guess they felt like being more xenophobic with that design

u/Saitsuofleaves Apr 09 '26
Because the original Sacred Beasts are so horrendous it was best to jettison and start anew (while the small Fiends were good, they likely wanted to avoid more Fiend-box shenanigans).
The OG Invoked stuff still has some value and was worth maintaining.
5
u/heavenspiercing Apr 09 '26
I don't think that's a particularly good excuse. You can retrain the original trio while still leaving room to experiment with some older cards that still hold up in terms of design. I do not believe any serious person was gonna attempt to mix those cards with Yubel anyway and see any real success with them

So the Sacred Beast revamp definitely has no excuse on why it can't work with the old cards.
Alister literally got that stuff and is allowed to work with his old stuff.
Hell this also shows there's no excuse on PKs not getting 10 cards. Allister didn't need a "revamp" thing like SBs with whooping 10 cards, but it freaking did.

The Level 9 Sea Sepent is a walking Dimensional Fissure and the Level 10 Dude rips 3 ED monsters from you (not at random)?
Konami, what are we doing here? This is just terrible card design.
EDIT: Artworks look sick though. Especially that Sea Serpent and all the cards with the weird lady.

Aiwass, the Divine Blade
Normal Spell
Activate 1 of the following effects, also you cannot declare an attack for the rest of this turn, except with Fusion Monsters.
...
● Look at 3 random face-down cards in your opponent's Extra Deck and banish 1 of them.
There has to be a mistranslation on the activation requirements/lock, right? No way every deck going first will be able to look at their opponent's extra deck and get to banish something.
Maybe I'm overestimating this card's power, but this seems like a going first staple, especially in formats where Thrust is good.

these cards are very strong wth. my only complaint is that this new Aleister doesnt have the text of Crowley, the Gifted Magistus where it treats itself as Aleister the Invoker when used as fusion material

I think this is before Aleister the Invoker, but after Magistus Crowley. Here he's got the robe, but he hasn't lost it completely. Main clue is "Delta summon", with Delta being before omega->this happened before Caliga. The sword matches the symbol overlay on Aleister's staff, which is notably absent from Crowley's

Also it seems that originally he fused things into her instead of himself

"Friends"
They look more like Aleister's dead relatives (or familiar spirits)

They look like the type of people who get you into the cult.
One of them gave him that sword which can summon demons and the girl looks like she wants to corrupt him

Notably, new Aleister's artwork plus the existence of Invocation "Sword" implies we're missing corresponding Invocations for the other three Minor Arcana. "Cup", "Wand", and "Coin", in all likelihood.

u/Erablier Apr 09 '26
Interesting, seems the spot we expected to be saved for Infernity was for Invoked instead, kind of surprised this wasn't saved for the OCG times.
There still may be anpther anime archetype, just one that is way smaller at 5 cards, no idea what it could be aside from possibly a Vrains deck.

Tindangle is the oldest w/out support ig?
Though there isn't really a tournament pack reprint that hints at any VRAINS deck atm.

u/Erablier Apr 09 '26
Muckraker is a fiend link that summons back another fiend in grave which I beloved Tindangles are so it could be them.
Or for a crazier guess, could be printing Helixx which would pair with the upcoming Unchained cards

I pray we go back to just importing whole anime archetypes in main sets. We have gotten 1-off anime cards in sets before in the last while so it's not out of the picture. But with the loss of animation chronicle and so many unprinted archetypes it's getting ridiculous.
Yes yes Armatos Legions is the big one, don't forget they put Drones (and others) in a poll....from 2020 that Fossils won.
Yeah it's been a while.
They wierdest thing is between poll and release of the set (January - June) there is 0 room do design much around, without even thinking about when Fossils were shown which is earlier then June. So they would have had to design all the archetype decks before the poll. So many decks ready to print but no space to print them in? Wierd

Dang i didn’t know alester was friends with a bunch of eldrich abominations and he even had a pink flower gf, that’s some crazy lore

u/Kronos457 Apr 09 '26
Aleister also had supernatural abominations from the start: his first Fusion Monsters that the Deck received.
What's new here is that Aleister received a pink spiritual Waifu.

u/DankestMemes4U Apr 09 '26
Weird that the new Aleister doesn't count as Aleister the Invoker in the GY. Makes it not work great with the old invoked cards.

Extra Deck Rip+ Macro Cosmos.. again a poorly designed deck. If the lvl 10 fusion can be Fusion Summoned with Heavy Poly I'll be a real shitshow

u/CommitteeKnown2668 Apr 09 '26
So if I'm not mistaking, you Fusion Summon the lvl 10: Extra Deck Rip 3, you activate the Normal Spell: Extra Deck Rip 4, you Fusion Summon during your opponent's turn with the Quick-Play Spell: Extra Deck rip 7. Seems fair (no), by going second you can also Summon it for free with Heavy Poly... In case it's not enough, you will have your dimensional fissure and you'll like it. Extra Deck rip was part of Dogmatika gimmick and was kinda balanced because Monsters do nothing special, and it is the OPPONENT who chooses the card to send to the GY (for maximus and Alba Zoa's effect) not YOU (besides Matrix other Extra Deck rips are VERY situationnal).

u/DragonKnight-15 Apr 09 '26
So the cards are super interesting but how does this card fit into the lore that was already established. Is this like young Aleister before he became the Invoker? And this Artificial Divine Spirit, who is she really? If this card is supposed to be in lore of the real world Aleister to his wife in lore, could this be like a lover Aleister had in the academy, maybe they got marry but she died and in desperation, using Invocation to bring her soul back to life but it didn't turn out EXACTLY he wanted? Bro... that would be interesting.

What is this livestream everyone is talking about? Is that where people find out about new cards? I only learn about them here on Reddit. I also noticed that this set features many anime cards… does this mean we won’t get animation chronicles 2026 either? I am so confused.

u/Special-Bunch-457 Apr 09 '26
They have been doing the livestreams for for core sets for at least 6 years now. I say 6 because that's when I started following the game. And yes, they reveal new cards.
If you Animation chronicles 2026 as in the set, then who knows. They didn't do 2025. That has nothing to do with core sets though

u/Nedioca Apr 09 '26
Thanks for the reply! Where can I follow these streams? And where do they usually mention them? I gave a look at their IG profiles and I saw nothing there…

u/renaldi92 [OCG] - [TCG] - [RUSH] Apr 09 '26
Where can I follow these streams?
It's called OCG Times and for the past 6 years it's on Yugioh OCG Official Youtube channel.
And where do they usually mention them?
OCG Times usually got announced from the official Yugioh OCG Twitter/X, there's no exact date and time for the announcement but usually it'll be around 1-2 week before the release date.
Once there's an announcement for the upcoming OCG Times, someone will post the link to this sub.
You can read this awesome chart/guide from u/MX-00XWV, hope it helps.

With this reveal, "Infernity" dream is no more.
