This card, Parasitic Impetus, would benefit a deck focused on aggressive strategies and life gain synergies in Magic: the Gathering. It can be particularly effective in a Rakdos or Mardu deck that aims to pressure opponents with powerful creatures while gaining life to offset the loss from aggressive plays. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects, Parasitic Impetus can be a strong inclusion in decks looking to maintain board presence and drain opponents' life totals simultaneously.

Rules

04/17/20

Attacking with a goaded creature doesn’t cause it to stop being goaded.

04/17/20

If a goaded creature can’t attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come under that player’s control that turn), then it doesn’t attack. If there’s a cost associated with having it attack, its controller isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t have to attack in that case either.

04/17/20

If you goad a creature you control, it must attack and it must attack a player rather than a planeswalker.

04/17/20

Parasitic Impetus causes you to gain life, not the attacking creature’s controller.
