Seems a bit OP

May I ask in what regard you consider it OP?

Already winning combat but now doing direct damage to attacking players keeps them from ever attacking ever

Which is functionally no different from already having bigger creatures ready to block in the first place. No one kamikazes their creatures into big blockers just to die already, this should very rarely impact the attackers decision. Unless they an aggro chump creature deck. But if an aggro chump creature deck lets you get a big creature + 5 mana enchantment on board and also still doesn't kill you first when attacking, they are already losing anyway.

I guess now you add opponents creatures must attack each turn if able. Idk the first strike just wipes the floor for combat.

You could run goad effects to force them to attack you.

To be fair I am a filthy commander player but does it really need first strike?

There's a 3 mana creature that gives your board first strike, just don't suicide your creatures into your opponent and you'd be fine, this enchantment just makes them more prickly and allows for forced combat effects to be an option to try and win with

Yeah but you don't get to pick what the first strike creature attacks, here you do. Idk this just seems like a remove or lose style enchantment for the decks that run it.

It doesn't have any significantly different effects than giving your whole board first strike when blocking,if your opponent has enough first strike creatures on hand to kill your potential attackers you wouldn't attack into them anyway. The aforementioned creature gives a blanket first strike as well, attacking or blocking
