Bloodthirsty Blade

Goad is a political mechanic built for tables of shifting alliances, and most cards that hand it out staple the compulsion to a creature you already control or force it onto an opponent as a one-shot nudge. This one turns the Equipment itself into the steering wheel. The attach ability moves the blade onto a creature an opponent controls, so the +2/+0 buff and the goad both land on someone else's board, and because it is a repeatable activated ability rather than a fixed effect, you relocate it turn after turn for a single mana. Each activation slides the blade to whichever opponent you least want sitting on a clear board, forcing their biggest threat to swing away from you and into a rival. The sorcery-speed clause keeps it out of combat-trick territory: you commit to the placement before attacks and blocks lock in, so everyone can plan around where the blade currently sits while knowing it may walk next turn. The bargain at the heart of the card is a strange one: you hand raw power to a creature you do not control in exchange for the right to aim it. That trade only pays off when direction matters more than size, which is a wager the card can only make where combat has more than two sides. As an object it is unremarkable removal-adjacent hardware; as a lever, it is a card that turns your opponents' best attacker into a weapon you point.
