Errata. Taunt now reads: when tapped, opponents can only attack entities with Taunt. Official errata
How to play it
- Tap it as it enters, including when portaled, to turn Taunt on right away. It can't attack that turn anyway because of cooldown.
- On later turns, attack with it. That taps it, so Taunt stays on through your opponent's next turn.
- Entities that can only attack leaders, like Stalking Assassin, can't attack at all while it is tapped. Taunt doesn't stop spells, though.

AquabassCalled the game's only Taunt and the main limit on Stalking Assassin's leader-only attacks, which is why the author wants the Assassin swinging before turn 7.
