Yes? There's no definition for Taunt in the REG yet (that I could find), so I assume it's still an attack the same as any other battle challenge/rescue attempt.

Another question.

Do cards such as Asherah Pole work during Taunts? The evil character isn't blocking, they are attacking...

In the current REG. blocking is defined thus: "Blocking is the attempt to prevent a rescue." Since there is no rescue in a battle challenge, it would not be a block (which then begs the question of whether Asherah Pole would work during a traditional battle challenge. I always figured it would, but this seems to say it wouldn't).

This also raises the question....

What happens if an opponent drops harvest time during a taunt?

Or if they accept with a hero like Martha and draw a lost soul.

Adding one more related question to the pile, based on the Apole question...

Say my opponent RAs with NT Mike to TSA. I play Neb's Dream for numbers, they band in an OT hero... does Apole then go back in time and grant Nebs Dream CBN status, allowing me to discard a hero?

Asherah Pole says "while blocking" which is an ongoing status (according to a recent ruling in another thread) so I would assume it would indeed grant it CBN status, though I don't know if going back in time to actually use the ability is within the rules since Redemption frowns upon time travel.

No. Cards either are or aren't CBN/I/P when played.

if he brings him in then the enhancements from now on become cbn not the ones you already played since no ot hero was in battle when they were played

Right.

could you do a taunt and a battle challenge with a hero in the same turn?

I would think not. You can only have one battle each turn unless a card specifies otherwise (Long Day, Grapes, Ambush the City, etc.).
