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.)

Where it came from
Besmirch first appeared in the Conspiracy: Take the Crown expansion for Magic: The Gathering, released in 2016. The card was designed as a rare sorcery intended to introduce chaotic political dynamics to multiplayer formats, allowing a player to goad creatures and force conflict across the table. Its placement in The List, which curates cards from throughout the game's history to appear in set boosters, reflects its role as a niche, utility-driven card within the larger ecosystem of Eternal formats.
The artwork for Besmirch was illustrated by Nils Hamm, a frequent contributor to the game known for his atmospheric and textured style. Hamm focused on the visual representation of manipulation and courtly sabotage, utilizing a dark, opulent color palette to fit the thematic backdrop of the Paliano, City of Conspiracy setting. Upon its release, the card was received by players as a strategic tool specifically tailored for Commander and other multiplayer environments where political maneuvering is a core component of gameplay.
