Question

Hello, a follow-up question about Melee (aggression event): previously there was a email that stated its second instance of damage could hit/target the villain if the first instance defeated a Guard minion in play. Is that not the case anymore? If not is this a new change to how the (attack) tag interacts with the Guard keyword?

Answer

Yes, this was a reversal of a previous ruling that I had made. After talking it over with Michael Boggs, we both agreed the correct interpretation was that you resolve each line one at a time, meaning that if you defeat a guard minion with the first line you can target the villain with the next line.
