Ghoulish Impetus

Description

Ghoulish Impetus, identified as card number 732 in the Commander Masters set, represents a powerful tool for strategic players of Magic: The Gathering. Released in 2023, this rare enchantment card is designed to manipulate the flow of combat in the Commander format. Illustrated by Steve Ellis, the card features a mana cost of two generic mana and one black mana, placing it at a mana value of three. As an Aura, Ghoulish Impetus must be attached to a creature to provide its benefits. Once enchanted, the creature receives a +1/+1 power and toughness boost along with deathtouch, allowing it to destroy any creature it damages regardless of toughness. The card’s most distinctive feature is the goad ability, which forces the enchanted creature to attack each combat if able and specifically target a player other than the one who cast the spell. This mechanic allows players to redirect enemy threats or force favorable trades. The card also includes a resilience feature: when the enchanted creature dies, Ghoulish Impetus returns to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step. This loop potential makes it a valuable asset in long games. Collectors appreciate the card for its clever design and the strategic depth it brings to black-aligned decks. The Commander Masters product line focuses on reprints that enhance the Commander experience, and Ghoulish Impetus fits seamlessly into this theme by providing versatile interaction. For enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this card serves as a compelling addition to collections and gameplay alike.
