Taunting Arbormage, Creature — elf wizard, designed by Cristi Balanescu first released in Sep, 2020 in the set Zendikar Rising and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
This card could be beneficial in a deck focused on aggressive creature strategies, as it can force opponents to block a specific creature, potentially clearing the way for other attackers. However, there are likely better options available in terms of efficiency and impact, such as cards that provide more consistent and powerful effects for a similar cost. Overall, while Taunting Arbormage has a niche use, it may not be the optimal choice for competitive play in most cases.

If a creature the defending player controls can’t block the target creature for any reason (such as being tapped), then it doesn’t block that creature. If there’s a cost associated with having a creature block the attacking creature, the defending player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t have to block in that case either.

If you copy a kicked spell, the copy is also kicked. If a card or token enters the battlefield as a copy of a permanent that’s already on the battlefield, the new permanent isn’t kicked, even if the original was.

Some instant or sorcery spells require alternative or additional targets if they’re kicked. You ignore these targeting requirements if those spells aren’t kicked, and you can’t kick those spells unless you can choose the appropriate targets. On the other hand, you can kick a permanent spell even if you won’t be able to choose targets for an enters-the-battlefield ability of that permanent once the spell resolves.

You can’t pay a kicker cost more than once.
