What it does
Until end of turn, gain control of target creature and it gains haste. Untap and goad that creature. (Until your next turn, that creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.)
The whitest robes stain best.

Where it came from
Besmirch was released in 2016 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion Conspiracy: Take the Crown. This set was designed specifically for draft-based multiplayer play, focusing on themes of political manipulation, subterfuge, and seizing power within a game. The card serves as a thematic piece of the set's 'monarch' mechanic, providing a way for players to disrupt opponents during the chaotic politics of a four-player game.
The card was illustrated by Mathias Kollros, whose artwork captures the sinister and deceptive nature of the card's effect. Kollros chose to depict a moment of social ruin, visually representing the literal act of besmirching someone’s reputation to force them into a disadvantageous position. Upon release, it was well-regarded by casual multiplayer communities for its ability to create unexpected shifts in momentum during social play, fitting perfectly into the set's overarching goal of encouraging interactive and often cutthroat table dynamics.
