As always this set has a bunch of Set Booster exclusives built for Commander. Here we have a mass battle tutor, more of that "two creatures attack" draw in white, and a demon that was apparently from the Dominaria United card file.
This round, the cycle are a bunch of planeswalker Auras called Talents. They grant loyalty abilities, add more ways to up loyalty counters, and all have great art.
WUBRG battle tutor:…… wow is this card a huge let down… for now down the line in the future we are gonna get a 5-color battles matter legend so this will spike hard when that happens
Words on no phyrexian tribal legend in 5C/witch-maw: welp that it then I guess it’s up to Omnath, locus of all or/and Morophon, the boundless to run the tribe in all colors
So the best case scenario for Begin the Invasion is what? Pay like 10 mana and then follow up with Aether Snap on the next turn or have even more mana? Just to cast a bunch of okay cards? That's very underwhelming.
Even if Begin the Invasion would've fetched as many battles as you control lands it would've been eh, because you can only flip as many battles as you have creatures to spare, without shenanigans. It should have had a lingering effect (maybe it should have been an enchantment, a saga even) that helps with the battles you fetched.

Might be pretty meh, but I don't know... if you are getting any battles, for 3WUBRG you get to kill all creatures, return 3 permanents from your graveyard to your hand, and cascade into two random nonland permanents (if you choose Fiora, Shandalar and Alara) without even accounting for your future ability to flip them. Or exchange Tolvada for Shandalar if you want to get something else back into play right away. That seems quite good, but drops off a lot if you don't have the high-impact battles to grab.
