We didn’t see a return of the mechanic until both Modern Horizons sets where evoke appeared on a few cards per set. It was the primary mechanic for elementals in Lorwyn and returned in Morningtide.
We first saw evoke spoiled with Shriekmaw, which went on to become a format staple for years. So it settled on its current incarnation. This idea was unsurprisingly shot down because Magic’s rules weren’t built to let that happen. History of EvokeĪccording to Mark Rosewater, evoke was originally supposed to be a way for instants and sorceries to have alternate casting costs to make them into creatures. These creatures usually have either an “enters the battlefield” or “leaves the battlefield” effect that triggers upon evoking. If you choose to cast them with that cost, they must be sacrificed as soon as they enter the battlefield. Creature cards with evoke are given an alternate casting cost.
