Huh; something must attack this turn. Interesting variant.

Should a creature with that ability get better p/t-to-cost ratio than a creature with actually "~ must attack each combat if able."?

No, a worse one. The ability is better, since in the situation where you don't want to attack with it you can sacrifice something else so that you don't have to. (Not the mtg meaning of sacrifice, "Throw a 1/1 into a combat it cannot win")

But eh, only a very slightly worse one.

So, no 5/2 for three then?

It seems maybe slightly too good. But not vastly; I can see it. (Though not at common, 5 is a bit much to be a common.)

@SecretInfiltrator @Vitenka it's based on Spikewheel Acrobat, which has a casting restriction (if you want it for three mana), while this one has a recurring restriction.

I like this card but it does seem just a bit too strong.

Maybe if it cost {1}{r}{r}???
