Blurred Mongoose can't be countered.
Blurred Mongoose can't be the target of spells or abilities.
  • It can be targeted while on the stack. The "can't be targeted" ability only works while it is in play. [Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
  • Counterspells can be played that target it, but when they resolve they simply don't counter it since it can't be countered. [Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
  • Note - Also see Shroud, Rule 502.36.

184. Canopy Surge

Sorcery 1G (2) Invasion (Uncommon)
Kicker {2} (You may pay an additional {2} as you play this spell.)
Canopy Surge deals 1 damage to each creature with flying and each player. If you paid the kicker cost, Canopy Surge deals 4 damage to each creature with flying and each player instead.

185. Elfhame Sanctuary

Enchantment 1G (2) Invasion (Uncommon)
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may search your library for a basic land card, and put it into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library and skip your draw step this turn.
  • If you have more than one of these in play, you get to use them all and you don't skip multiple draw steps. [Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
  • The "if you do" means "if you search your library". You get to skip your draw step and shuffle your deck even if you don't find (or choose not to find) a basic land. [D'Angelo 2000/10/14]
  • You do not have to find a basic land card if you do not want to. See Rule G19.4. [D'Angelo 2001/07/14]

186. Elvish Champion

Creature - Lord 2/2 1GG (3) Invasion (Rare)
All Elves get +1/+1 and have forestwalk. (They're unblockable as long as defending player controls a forest.)
  • This card is an Elf, but it does not give itself the bonus because the text says that only "other elves" get the bonus. [D'Angelo 2005/11/01]
  • It affects Elves controlled by all players, not just yours. [Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
  • Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
  • Note - This card was of creature type "Lord" and not "Elf Lord" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01. Then it became just "Elf" with Tenth Edition and Oracle 2007/07/13.

187. Explosive Growth

Instant G (1) Invasion (Common)
Kicker {5} (You may pay an additional {5} as you play this spell.)
Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. If you paid the kicker cost, that creature gets +5/+5 instead.

188. Fertile Ground

Enchant Land 1G (2) Invasion (Common)
Whenever enchanted land is tapped for mana, its controller adds one mana of any color to his or her mana pool.
  • The color of mana to be generated is chosen when tapping the land for mana. [Urza's FAQ 1998/10/05]
  • This does not change the mana type the land produces for any other effects that check what mana type the land produces. For example, a Mana Flare would see a Mountain produce {R}, and make an extra {R} regardless of what color Fertile Ground generates. [Urza's FAQ 1998/10/05]
  • Still generates mana even if the other land is tapped for zero mana. For example, Gaea's Cradle tapped when no creatures are in play. [Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
  • Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
  • Note - This card was of type "Enchant Land" until Oracle 2005/08/01.
