Evoke

MTG Mechanic

Evoke is an alternative cost on some permanent cards. If you choose to cast a spell for its evoke cost, an ability triggers when it enters, forcing you to sacrifice it. Evoke is an economical option if you want to access the card's enters abilities (and sometimes abilities that trigger when it dies) ahead of schedule.


Evoke Rules

A keyword ability that causes a permanent to be sacrificed when it enters the battlefield. See rule 702.74, “Evoke.”
  • 702.74a: Evoke represents two abilities: a static ability that functions in any zone from which the card with evoke can be cast and a triggered ability that functions on the battlefield. “Evoke [cost]” means “You may cast this card by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “When this permanent enters, if its evoke cost was paid, its controller sacrifices it.” Casting a spell for its evoke cost follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h.
