Sabretooth, War; What If?

OK, I was looking over a list of Sabretooth cards and had a question about Sabretooth, War.

His texts states that "characters hunted by you must attack Sabretooth if able." If someone managed to get two Sabretooth, War into play, what would happen? This would probably be more of an issue in a multiplayer game but how would this be resolved since they can't attack both Sabretooth at the same time. Just curious.

CRD's got it covered:
Quote:
 
600.4Some continuous modifiers state that a character “must attack if able” or “must attack [a specified character] if able.” These modifiers mean that that character’s controller can’t pass priority if he or she could legally propose an attack with that character (against [the specified character]). (See rules 407.5 and 601.2–601.4.)

601.1cIf a character is affected by one or more modifiers that say it “must attack [a specified character] if able”, it can be proposed as an attacker only if such a [character] is proposed as the defender. However, if all such proposals would be illegal, any other legal defender can be proposed, or that character need not attack at all.
It's not much different than being affected by one Sabretooth---you can't propose your hunted character into any character who isn't one of the Sabretooths. You get to choose which of the two potential defenders you'd like to propose against.

Did a scenario like this happen while playing or are you just so EVIL that you want to break 'Tooth? I mean it would be so evil in so many levels, like for example that opponents just couldn't attack cause one 'Tooth overrode the other. I almost wish it could actually happen.

It actually hasn't happened but I was thinking about making a Legend deck with Sabretooth and the first question that popped into my mind regarding him was if I clash him into play on 7 or shift him into play on 6 after recruiting the first one. Would there be a scenario were an attacker couldnt' be chosen because both had to be attacked and a decision couldnt' be made. HC cleared it up though.

Yeah but wouldn't it of have made a perfect way to stall and just have fun with your opponents?
