Rationale
Shared Animosity is a 3-mana enchantment that pumps each attacking creature by +1/+0 for each other attacker sharing its creature type — a scaling tribal combat anthem. It is a signature inclusion in tribal go-wide aggro decks (Goblins, Dragons, Vampires, Elves) that swing wide in red. It does nothing without a critical mass of same-type attackers, making it a trap in non-tribal or singleton creature builds.
Learnings (3)
The bonus scales quadratically in practice: a board of 5 same-type attackers each get +4/+0, making it potentially more impactful than Coat of Arms for a single alpha strike — but it requires all creatures to attack, unlike Coat of Arms which is always on.

Because the trigger fires separately for each creature, the pump is cumulative as each attacker's trigger resolves; the full count of other attacking same-type creatures is used for each individual trigger (all triggers see the same attack declaration).

In Commander, this card is especially backbreaking in goblin or elf tribal decks that can go wide with tokens of the same type, frequently ending games in one attack step out of nowhere.
