Gameplay and rules
Legendary Creature — Minotaur Warrior
Tahngarth can't be blocked by more than one creature.
Whenever an opponent attacks with one or more creatures, if Tahngarth is tapped, you may have that opponent gain control of Tahngarth until end of combat. If you do, choose a player or planeswalker that opponent is attacking. Tahngarth is attacking that player or planeswalker.

Giving control of Tahngarth to an opponent doesn't cause it to become untapped. This means that Tahngarth may end up attacking several times between your turns.
wotc23 Aug 2019
If Tahngarth gains menace, it can't be blocked at all.
wotc23 Aug 2019
If an opponent is attacking a planeswalker but not that planeswalker's controller, Tahngarth can't attack that player.
wotc23 Aug 2019
Commander damage is tracked for each commander. It doesn't matter who controls the commander as it deals damage. If Tahngarth deals 10 damage to one player while under your control and another 11 damage to that same player while under a third player's control, the player loses the game.

Tahngarth may end up attacking its owner this way.
wotc23 Aug 2019
Although Tahngarth is an attacking creature if it uses its triggered ability, it was never declared as an attacking creature. This means that abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when it changes control and becomes attacking.
