Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, choose one —

## Official Rulings
- *(2016-08-23)* The card exiled by the second mode is exiled face up.
- *(2016-08-23)* If you exile a land card this way, you can't play it.
- *(2016-08-23)* If you don't cast the card, it will remain in exile.
- *(2016-08-23)* Casting the exiled card follows the normal rules for casting that card. You must pay its costs, and you must follow all applicable timing rules. For example, if you exile a creature card this way, you must wait until your main phase to cast it.
- *(2023-06-30)* If a creature you control has been goaded by multiple opponents, it must attack one of your opponents that hasn't goaded it, as that fulfills the maximum number of goad requirements. If a creature you control has been goaded by each of your opponents, the creature must attack an opponent (rather than a planeswalker or battle), but you choose which opponent it attacks.
- *(2023-06-30)* Attacking with a goaded creature doesn't cause it to stop being goaded. If there is an additional combat phase that turn, or if another player gains control of it before it stops being goaded, it must attack again if able.
