Question

If the Thanos villain initiates an attack against me and I play “grasping tendrils” to interrupt that and cancel that attack. Would his “infinity gauntlet” attachment forced response trigger?

Answer

No. Infinity Gauntlet triggers after attached villain “activates”, in other words, after the villain finishes resolving an attack or scheme. Grasping Tendrils “cancels” the attack, making it so that the activation did not resolve, so Infinity Gauntlet cannot trigger its response.
