Evaluation

Rating7.0/10

Pros

  • High attack and good defense.
  • Disables your opponent from using all quick-play spell cards, which are commonly used in many decks.

Cons

  • High level monster that requires 2 tributes, or some investment to special summon.

Tips

  • Disabling your opponent's quick-play will mean that your opponents can only activate traps when you are attacking, or sphere kuriboh. Bring cards like Trap Jammer, Seven Tools of the Bandit, or Overwhelm to make sure that your attack will go through.
  • With 2 level 4 monsters on the field, you can use The Puppet Magic of Dark Ruler to special summon Invader if he is in the graveyard.
  • Doomdog Octhros can be used to search for invader from your deck.

Popular quick-play spell cards

Here are quick-play spell cards which are frequently used in PvP matches. Use Invader of Darkness to seal activations of those cards.

Enemy Controller

Commonly used in many decks due to switch position of your monster(s), or take control of them, using Invader of Darkness will prevent your opponent from using this altogether. Your attacks can only be stopped by traps or Sphere Kuriboh.

Order to Charge

Summoning a normal monster together with this spell usually means safety ensured, no matter how low their attack is. Summoning Invader of Darkness will definitely shut down a normal monster deck, just be aware and not attack carelessly since most people still use Mirror Wall.

Twister

Commonly used as the main spell/trap destruction card, using Invader of Darkness can provide with a small safety for your spell/trap cards that you don't want to be destroyed, like Pumprincess the Princess of Ghosts or Wonder Balloons.

Half-Shut

Used to lower a monster's attack, or make sure they survive, this card can be activated in both players' turn and also on the damage step. Using Invader of Darkness will prevent your opponent from being able to use this.

Does this negate use of Quick play spells all together ? Or they can be used as normal spells in main phase ?
<< Anonymous
Anonymous Reply
Even if they are used in main phase they are still a Quick-Play Spell card. That Quick-Play symbol won't disappear just because you play it during main phase XD

So short answer: it's all together.

It's good in theory but too bricky in practice. Chaos Hunter can unbrick itself, this can't.

Even Chaos Hunter can be bricky sometimes.

I couldn't use Magician's Circle, because of this card effect but it's a trap card not a quick spell... 100% sure
<< Anonymous
Benox Reply
Magician Circle is not very reliable since it requires many stuff
1- Be set the turn before (as any trap)
2- An spellcaster declares an attack
3- Both player must have an open space to summon a 2000 atk or lower spellcaster (even if they dont have any in their deck)

So if the other player has 3 monsters in the field you can't use magician circle

magicians circle summons spellcasters, invader is a fiend

penishitler Reply
pretty sure he meant that an enemy invader blocked using his circle, not that he wanted to summon it/use it to trigger the effect

Expensive, but the odds Kaiba ever beats you again are slim to none, and I fully expect the Labyrinth strat to be patched in a future update.

Now why would they want to nerf Labyrinth Builder strat?
