Title: thorgs taunt plus other creature's guard
Post by: Matt.dog on March 14, 2014, 05:28:29 PM

Hi guys, just asking for clarification.  I've seen the thread involving Thorg's taunt and teleport.  The rules for taunt say that if there's another conflicting effect (it names bloodthirsty), so I don't think it affects this situation but I'd like clarification before potentially playing wrong. 
Situation is if I have another guard such as panzergarde with guard up, in same zone as thorg, normally with more than 1 guard you can choose, so even though Thorg's taunt states must make an attack against him if able to do so, does this qualify as a "competing effect" such as bloodthirsty allowing him to ignore thorg and possibly attack another guard?

Thanks,
Matt

Nope. It's talking about mandatory choice abilities. Guard doesn't force your choice, it just limits which choices are legal.
