Would be one of the worse Invokers if it weren't for the nice 3/3 Flying body. Compare this to Shepherd of the Lost. It doesn't have as great an impact on turn 5, but can be a finisher late-game, which the Shepherd has trouble doing.

Real bad attempt at a merfolk tribal. If you really wanted your merfolk to fly you would cast Levitation. What makes this card bearable is the fact that it is a 3/3 flier. Expensive creature, limited use, and over priced. 2/5

Notably as with the previous invoker cycle, this one is like his Wizard ancestor the only five-drop instead of only costing two or three mana.
But this time it's at least a more useful one. Giving your entire creatures a temporary levitation should help you far more than spending eight mana for a giant growth on some pitious, non-flying, blue Hill Giant.
Regarding the creature type i thought Zendikar's invokers to be a certain type of Shamans instead of Mutants influenced from the Mirrari as it's the case with the old ones. But why is this one not a Shaman then? Why can't we have blue Shamans?
I hate flying merflok creatures. Feels like flying bears. For this cycle... and I hate cycles... a smaller creature would have created a higher "Ahhh!" effect, A cmc 5 card with a cmc 8 ability doesn't feel board-changing. And since he already has flying, he is the only creature in this cycle that doesn't create a bonus when this is the only creature you have in play.

3/3 flyer on turn 5 with a temporary Levitate effect that costs twice as much as the actual enchantment. YAWN.

levitation, in other decks than blue this might have been nice.

5 for a 3/3 flier is great in Limited. His ability is more likely to go off in the slow Rise envronment than elsewhere, making it a good limited card all around.

This card is great-ish. If you have a lot of mana that you want to spend then go ahead and make your creatures have flying. It's also a good card because its a 3/3 flying in general.

Silly merman. You are fish, not bird. Stop trying to be bird.
