...but according to its card text, it shouldn't. It says: "When targeted by an Attack from the front...," but in a recent game, it triggered from an attack from the side.
I was under the impression that characters didn't have sides, only a front and a back. I think this is demonstrated in the third(?) tutorial adventure. I could be mistaken though.
"Sides" are considered front facing. If you mouse over a character you can see that the darker shades are "behind" while everything else is "in front".
I know. But plenty of people may forget this distinction after they've left the tutorial behind, and default to the plan English meaning of words. The distinction is made few enough times on card text that I'd be in favor of it being spelled out.
