Gameplay

Creature — Minotaur Warrior

You may exert this creature as it attacks. When you do, it gets +1/+1 and gains menace until end of turn. (An exerted creature won't untap during your next untap step. A creature with menace can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)

"My stride will break only against the twin points of Hazoret's spear."

You can't exert a creature unless an effect allows you to do so. Similar effects that "tap and freeze" a creature (such as that of Decision Paralysis) don't exert that creature.

2017-04-18wotc

All cards in the Amonkhet set that let you exert a creature let you do so as you declare it as an attacking creature, as do some of the cards in the Hour of Devastation set. You can't do so later in combat, and creatures put onto the battlefield attacking can't be exerted. Any abilities that trigger on exerting an attacking creature will resolve before blockers are declared.

2017-04-18wotc

If you gain control of another player's creature until end of turn and exert it, it will untap during that player's untap step.
