Goad

Goad effects compel target creatures an opponent controls to attack each combat if able, and to attack a player other than you, weaponizing opposing boards against the rest of the table. Disrupt Decorum goads everything opponents control, Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant goads on damage triggers, Shiny Impetus goads its enchanted creature, and Marisi, Breaker of the Coil goads each creature when it connects. Distinct from combat.unblockable_granter, which grants evasion to your own attackers rather than redirecting opposing ones, and from combat.attack_trigger, which rewards your own swings rather than forcing opponents to swing elsewhere.
