Creature — Goblin Samurai5 generic manaRed mana

Extra combat steps have always come with a tax to keep them honest: the classic ones untap nothing, forcing you to attack with what survived the first swing, or they hand the extra phase to a creature that already tapped to attack. This one pays that tax with the deck it demands you build. The trigger keys off modified creatures, so the untap-and-extra-combat only pulls its weight if your board is carrying Equipment, Auras, and counters, and the payoff scales exactly with how many of those bodies you've dressed up: every modified attacker refreshes and swings again. That's a design that couples the extra combat to a Voltron or aura-heavy engine rather than to raw creature count, which is why the reward is untapping all your modified creatures rather than a single chosen attacker. The once-per-turn clamp is the load-bearing restriction; without it a second modified attack would loop into a third, a fourth, and the whole thing collapses into an infinite-combat enabler. As written, it grants precisely one bonus phase, big and predictable. The 6/6 body matters here too: it wants to be modified itself, becoming both the engine and one of the attackers the engine untaps, which means a single piece of equipment turns it into a repeatable threat rather than a one-shot Overrun.

Rules text

Whenever one or more modified creatures you control attack, untap all modified creatures you control. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase. This ability triggers only once each turn. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)
