I searched for a Threat bug in the updated version of ACR and I haven't seen one so I'm posting this.
It seems as though the "Threat" ability has changed. Before when I attack with Lanz, as long as Lanz is the attacker, the blocker will be neutralized as long as they don't have Cunning (or maybe Fiora or some other ability that will cancel Threat).
But in my game, I used Pick Your Poison to steal Lanz from my opponent, I then played Lanz and attacked (and I'm sure I'm the attacker). My opponent then uses Ugo to block Lanz so I'm expecting Ugo to be neutralized while Lanz rests after the conflict. What happened though was that Lanz was neutralized by Ugo and Ugo gets a -1 on his health (he rests as 1/1 agent instead of 1/2), so it seems like their "Threat" abilities cancelled each other out which shouldn't have happened and they basically played like a normal 1/1 attacker vs. a 1/2 blocker.
I played 3 or 4 games like this and it all happened the same way (used PYP to steal Lanz, attack with Lanz, he gets blocked by another agent with Threat, and Lanz is neutralized after the conflict). All those games involved PYP and Lanz, I haven't tried stealing another agent with Threat so it may be specific to Lanz (or using PYP).
Has anyone else encountered this? Is this the way it's supposed to happen?

Threat cancels Threat. This is supposed to happen.
Because Lanz has an extra ability, you don't get the full text of Threat, but you can find the full text on the back of a vanilla Threat card like Ugo:
"When blocked, neutralize blocking Agent before Damage unless it has Threat or Cunning."

Oh, shoot! I did miss that - I always thought Cunning was the only thing that can cancel Threat (I always thought it was worded similarly as Fierce).
I can't believe this basic concept has eluded me for a long while now.
Anyway, thanks for the clarification, Ringel!
