Gog & Magog: Invocation Cards | Guild Summoning Guide

Guild Invocation & Mass Summoning Rules

In the turn-based tactical card system of Gog & Magog, Invocation Cards represent high-tier magical mechanics designed to generate explosive board presence by deploying entire operational factions. Their resolution pathways follow specific gameplay laws:

Mana Token Cost Bypass: Resolving an Invocation Card grants the player the exceptional ability to deploy multiple creature assets instantly without expending individual corresponding mana token costs for each unit.
Summoning Thresholds: Playing a single Invocation Card allows a player to summon a **minimum of two (2) and a maximum of five (5) creature cards** directly onto the battlefield lines during a single turn step.
Emblem Matching Rules: Summoning actions are strictly bound by faction restrictions. Each creature asset features a distinctive visual **Guild Emblem**. An Invocation Card can only draft and summon creatures that display an identical emblem to its own. For instance, a Crow Guild Invocation Card can exclusively call forth units adorned with the official Crow Guild emblem.
Turn Loop Resolution: Invocation Cards are single-use assets. Once their mass summoning pathway resolves, they do not remain on the grid; they are returned immediately to the used pile or discard deck.

Invocation Cards

An Invocation card is a unique card that has the power to summon a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 creature cards from the same guild. When this card is played, it grants the gamer the extraordinary ability to summon creature cards belonging to the same guild without the need to expend an equivalent amount of mana. Each guild card features a distinctive emblem, a symbol that proudly represents the guild it belongs to. For instance, the Crow Guild Invocation card is specifically designed to summon creature cards adorned with the identical guild emblem prominently displayed on the card. This emblem serves as a visual marker, signifying the guild affiliation of the creatures that can be summoned using this powerful card. Invocation cards can be played once and then returned to the used deck.
