Question

It looks like the card Melee can damage and kill a Guarded minion, then damage the villain with the same card action. What about Shield Toss? Can you use it to hit Guarded minions and the villain at the same time? How does the interaction work? Is the villain a valid target that you can spend [x] cards on?

Answer

You cannot target the villain with Shield Toss if you are engaged with a Guard minion because the damage is dealt simultaneously. Melee works different because it is split into two effects that each deal 3 damage. You resolve the first instance before resolving the second. If you defeat the only Guard minion engaged with you with the first part of Melee, then you can target the villain with the second part.
