What are some of these invocation cards? First up we have Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, which stuns an enemy and deals 7 damage to it. I know in my group, we have those rounds where we are counting up damage and trying to squeeze out every drop of damage to get to the next phase - this card will definitely be great for those scenarios. Winds of Watoomb wasn’t shown on the stream but the blog post briefly mentions it - it allows you to draw 3 cards for 0 resources. Then on the stream they showed off Vapors of Valtorr, which is probably the coolest card of the bunch - it allows you to take a status card and replace it with a different status card. So you can take a Tough card on an enemy and change it to a Stunned card. Or you can take your Confused hero and change it into a Tough card. This is also probably one of the most thematic cards that was revealed, as you feel as if some crazy magical stuff is going on when you play this card.

Only a couple of Doctor Strange’s actual character cards have been revealed so far (by FFG at least). Master of the Mystic Arts takes the already awesome power of the invocation cards and doubles them. Astral Projection takes away 3 threat, plus you get to look at the top card of the encounter deck. If there are any boost icons on that revealed encounter card, you get to take away an additional threat for each icon. There are a couple of other cards in the game that let you look at the encounter deck - if paired just right, you could get rid of a LOT of threat from just this one card. Regardless, even without any combos the card is never not going to be a good play.
