Skyboon Evangelist lands and immediately puts a goad counter on every creature an opponent controls, locking their board into attacking someone else each combat for as long as it stays in play. The cost is a six-mana enchantment that does nothing if the table is empty — but in multiplayer, the political disruption is immediate and permanent.

Kros, Defense Contractor
Kros, Defense Contractor turns every goad counter into a political weapon and a +1/+1 counter engine, so Skyboon Evangelist's mass-goad effect is exactly the kind of repeated pressure Kros wants — opponents are perpetually locked into attacking elsewhere while Kros grows his own board.

Skyboon Evangelist is a Commander card through and through — mass goad only generates value when there are multiple opponents whose boards you want redirected. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but has no competitive application; six mana for a soft deterrent isn't in the vocabulary of those formats. Commander is where the card earns its slot, particularly in Goad-tribal or politics-focused shells where keeping three opponents' creatures pointed away from you is a genuine win condition.

Price Context
Current price
$0.46 bulk tier
At $0.46, Skyboon Evangelist is bulk — easy to acquire and easy to cut without regret. Bulk enchantments with narrow archetypes tend to stay flat unless a new Goad commander spikes demand, so treat it as a cheap pickup for the decks that want it, nothing more.
