The best vow. Encourages opponent's creatures to attack while giving them the least defensive bonus should they decided to hold it back to block. Vow of flight is a close second in this regard, but the vowed creature can block your flyer.

This is actually not nearly as good as it looks, especially for EDH-mander. If your general is mono-colored, this is like fear, but you are vulnerable to color hosers like Iona. If your general is multi-colored, you can be blocked by more things before the inevitable theft occurs. Basically, Fear > Intimidate and Vow of Flight/ Vow of Wildness > this.

This is a great counter if you are going up against someone who likes to use Act of Treason or Mind Control a lot.

My creature? I drop this on my Opponent A's creature. Then he has to attack another opponent instead of me. Someone else takes extra damage to the face, or has to use removal on a creature that's not mine.
Even if Opponent A disenchants or naturalizes this, it's still one less enchantment removal for my Yawgmoth's Bargain that will hit the table in 2 or 3 turns.
Win-win for me.
Of course, in single-player the scope of this is much narrower. It's an average pump-aura or an inferior Pacifism. It's versatile, but it's not worth it.
This shines in casual multi-player, for you to laugh merrily while you make your opponents dance in your puppet strings. :)

Looking at the vows in a one-on-one format, this comes out very well. For you, it's a near-unblockable aura with a buff. On your opponent, it's a Defender with a buff.
Versatile, and doesn't make it that difficult for you to try and attack your opponent - unlike the Blue one (which lets it block your flyers) and the red one (which lets it block your stuff and maybe kill them before it dies, or hit your first strike stuff at the same time).

Great card right here. Versatility and awesome flavor text. Must be fun in 3+ player free-for-all to encourage your opponents to fight against each other.
