Is there a card that forces all opponents creatures to attack a single card?

I thought of a combo and as much as this might confuse people, I want to make sure that it would work. In order to do so, I need either an Aura that forces all creatures the opponent controls to attack a single creature (not Gideon's ability) or an Aura that allows a card to block more than one creature.
I'm trying to build a standard deck that can do the idea combo, but I'm unsure if a card like that exists and if its even a legal card...Thanks to anyone who can help me out.
It's not an aura but Palace Guard can block more than one creature. Give him indestructibility and you're set

Pariah and the Swans of Bryn Argoll work pretty well. They're not legal, but they are in modern.

I fail to see the benefit of Swans of Bryn Argoll unless you have a way to inflict some damage to them yourself.

Gideon Jura , since he's also in M12 you can invest in him.

epochalyptik, you're missing the point. Swans of Bryn Argoll with Pariah is simply a control that locks down all the opponent's creatures. Its not suppose to be an end but the means to an end, if you get what i'm saying.

Epochalyptik I believe that since Pariah is your source, damage is redirected and you draw the cards

Pariah does not become the source of the damage. It simply causes damage from the original source to be redirected through a replacement effect. It's like throwing the enchanted creature in front of the proverbial bullet. Or Lightning Bolt , as it were.

Stuffy Doll is usually never seen too far from Pariah or card:Pariah's Shield. Or Lure if there's green.

don't bother with Stuffy Doll unless you're ganna do a Stuffy Doll + Guilty Conscience combo.

To end any sort of debate on this tangent Straight from the wizards website isCho-Manno, Revolutionary and Pariah .

Dawn Elemental works better than Cho-Manno, Revolutionary , but only if you're running a mono-white deck.

The Q&A is for rules-related questions only. This is a forum post.
Use the Gatherer advanced search to find something that specific:

Also, since players don't attack creatures, it's going to be difficult for you to figure out how to make such a combo work. There's cards like Lure and Prized Unicorn which force all creatures to block a single creature, and there's also cards like Palace Guard and Echo Circlet which can or can allow creatures to block multiple attackers.
