Red Death, Shipwrecker

Goad usually lives on a single spell: force one creature into combat, aim it somewhere else, and hope the table takes it from there. Bolting the effect to a tap ability turns that one-shot political jab into a turn-by-turn engine, but the cost baked into each activation keeps the crab from running away with the table. Every goad here hands the goaded player a fresh card, so the ability is never free political value: you strengthen the person you just weaponized, which creates a running tension between the board pressure you generate and the card advantage you keep dealing out around the table. Softening that is the the tap produces, which makes the crab a small mana source rather than a pure political drain that does nothing for the pilot's own development. The 1/3 body reads defensively on purpose: this is not a creature built to swing, it is a lever built to sit back, tap, and point other people's armies at each other while trickling out red mana. Stacking a repeatable goad, a card handed to the target, and a return of mana onto one tap makes each activation a live three-way negotiation instead of a rote button press, which is exactly the texture goad tends to lack when it lives on a single sorcery-speed spell.
