Taunt from the Rampart
Goad usually asks a table to do the work: point your opponents' armies elsewhere and let the political fallout play out over several turns. This one skips the negotiation and cashes the whole board in at once. The "can't block until your next turn" rider is the part that matters. Goad by itself only compels attacks on future turns; combined with a mass no-block clause, it strips the defensive value out of every opposing creature immediately and hands you a wide-open swing this combat. That turns a slow political tool into a one-shot alpha-strike enabler, the kind of effect that reads as a group-hug incentive but functions as a finisher. The color pairing tracks the design logic: red supplies the compulsion-to-attack half that goad has always lived in, white supplies the mass, symmetrical board manipulation, and the two together produce a spell that reshapes a single combat step for the entire table rather than just one attacker. Because the goad persists after that turn, the creatures you cleared a path through are also obligated to swing at someone other than you next go-around, so the tempo you buy on your own attack compounds into damage aimed at your rivals. It is built for the seat that wants to end a multiplayer game on the back of a stalled board, not manage one.
