Haha, and they'll tap theirs in response to you using the tap ability...yeah, everything's going to get tapped, basically.

Really weird card. But great for decks that use lots of little creatures.

Has anyone really looked at the face of the merfolk dude on this card? Prince charming he ain't.

For 2Blue, this stalls the entire turn. What fun!

The funny thing is, this works even if the enemy doesn't tap one of your creatures in response to you tapping one of your own creatures. Multiplayer could be quite interesting!

Shroud and Hexproof these days ruins the flavour :(.

The flavor is really hilarious when you visualize it, especially because it's usually out of place.

Consider all the different shapes, races and attitudes there are among creatures,
which makes shoving each other in a grumpy humanoid manner often ridiculously unfitting.
Just imagine a Leery Fogbeast, a Reaper from the Abyss, an Alloy Myr or even Barrin, Master Wizard being involved.

That aside, even if a Waterfront Bouncer fittingly shoves someone else, this card still invokes and awkward scenery:
Everyone that's been shoved just keeps lying there on the floor, motionless like a bag of sand, not because of anything serious but simply out of sheer lazyness to get back up, with a lethargic facial expression until next upkeep.

*Frontline Medic approaches the battlefield, various bodies lying on the ground*
Medic: By Aurelia! Sir Tajic, are you alright? What happened?
Tajic: Ugh. I've been shoved, man.
Medic: ...beg your pardon, Sir?
Tajic: That wizard over there. *Slightly raises his arm to point to a robed man lying about 2 meters next to him*
That dick just came over and... shoved me away. Shoved him back, haha.
Medic: Sir! There is a war going on, your people need you!
Tajic: Well, what do you you want me to do? STAND UP?

Literal art is literal. Also can work sort of like Sleep if you cast it at the end of their turn...

Run with Cowardice for extra fun.
