Courtly Provocateur, Creature — human wizard, designed by James Ryman first released in Jul, 2012 in the set Magic 2013.
Courtly Provocateur could be beneficial in a control deck that aims to manipulate combat situations by forcing opposing creatures to attack or block when it's strategically advantageous. However, there are better cards like Master of Predicaments or Gideon Jura that offer more versatile and powerful effects in controlling combat, making Courtly Provocateur less likely to see play in competitive Magic: the Gathering decks.

After the first ability resolves, the creature attacks only if it’s able to do so as the declare attackers step begins. If, at that time, the creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t attack, or hasn’t been under that player’s control continuously since the turn began (and doesn’t have haste), then it doesn’t attack. If there’s a cost associated with having the creature attack, the player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t attack in that case either.

After the second ability resolves, the creature blocks only if it’s able to do so as the declare blockers step begins. If, at that time, the creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t block, or no creatures are attacking that player or a planeswalker controlled by that player, then it doesn’t block. If there’s a cost associated with having the creature block, the player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t block in that case either.
