Where it came from
Taunt was released as part of the Portal expansion set for Magic: The Gathering in 1997. Designed as an introductory product to bring new players into the game, the set utilized a unique frame and simplified rules text to lower the barrier to entry for beginners. The card features artwork by Mike Kimble, who contributed several pieces to the set, focusing on a clear, functional aesthetic that emphasized the card's role as a basic gameplay tool.
The card functions as a sorcery that forces a target creature to block if able, a mechanic intended to teach players the nuances of the combat phase and the importance of defensive positioning. While the Portal set was initially met with mixed reactions from veteran players due to its restricted ruleset, Taunt remains a notable artifact from Wizards of the Coast's historical efforts to broaden the game's demographic reach through instructional design.
