Provoke
Provoke is a keyword ability on creatures that allows a player to, during his or her attack step, untap a creature the defending player controls and require that creature to block the attacking creature with provoke. The block must still be legal, e.g. a non-flying creature cannot block a flying creature even when Provoke is used on it.
All tournament-legal cards with provoke were first printed in Legions.
