Creatures with gating cost less to play, but their controller must return a creature he or she controls to its owner's hand. Planeshift introduced the gating mechanic. They were almost killed in development as almost all of Wizard's R&D disliked them. As they were played, their controller chose which half to use. Invasion was also the first set with split cards: literally two cards printed on one, Split cards had two different effects for different costs. Invasion had a number of cards that have an effect based on the number of basic land types the casting player controlled, which was given the name "Domain" in Conflux. Paying this additional cost would activate an additional ability or effect on the card. One of these was kicker, an optional cost in addition to the card's casting cost. Invasion introduced several new mechanics. Invasion and Planeshift focus on allied-colored cards, while Apocalypse focus on enemy-colored cards. The sets in the Invasion block focus on multicolored cards. Its major themes revolved around multicolor decks and strategies.
Planeshift continued Invasion's theme of multi-colored " gold" cards. Invasion was the first set to be released digitally on Magic Online. The multi-color nature of the set had been decided by late in 1998, with the design relying heavily on an early draft set design by original playtester Barry Reich. The set was designed by Bill Rose, Mike Elliot and Mark Rosewater. The popularity and appeal of "gold" cards along with high but balanced power level culminated into making Invasion one of the most popular Magic sets in the game's history. Invasion saw the return of multi-colored " gold" cards, absent since the Stronghold expansion. As this was after a war that lasted a few years, there were many, many dead.
