that said. this is dependent on whether you already have at least one metamagic feat. energy sub x requires at least one.
if your dm's very permissive and lets you summon a whole bunch of invisible monsters in one turn, that's the clear winner. if not, my personal go-to for a no-prereq metamagic feat for the purposes of wetting my feet for the good stuff later is lords of madness's ocular spell, which lets you store spells in your eyes and later fire them out as frickin' laser beams.
