Martial Impetus

Enchantment — Aura2 generic manaWhite mana

Goad has always been a diplomatic weapon: you hand a creature a compulsion and let the table sort out the fallout. This member of the Impetus cycle sharpens that trick into an offensive subsidy, and its second clause is where the design lives. Whenever the enchanted creature attacks, every other creature already swinging at one of your opponents grows. That single line reframes the whole card. Slap it on a rival's threat and the +1/+1 plus the forced attack shove that body at someone else, and any of your creatures already attacking that same opponent collect an anthem for the trouble. Or, since it reads "Enchant creature" with no restriction, stick it on one of your own attackers to guarantee it swings into the pod and triggers the pump on your behalf. The apparatus rewards the crowded table, the one where two players are already circling a third: the goad guarantees the aggression, and the anthem-on-attack rewards you for being pointed in the same direction. Mono-white multiplayer aggression has usually leaned on static token anthems that pump your whole board all the time; this conditions the bonus into an engine that fires only on the attack, only against opponents, and only when the goaded creature swings. The cost of that specificity is that the payoff wants a wide board of your own attackers to catch it. Against a single opponent it flattens into a modest pump with a forced-attack rider; in a full pod it bankrolls a pile-on while quietly steering it.
