Assuming all the conditions are correct for a Taunt battle challenge, if I get Goliath (promo) using Divination in territory, can I add him to battle?

I would assume so but INE.
I have never really understood this concept about how negate = interrupt + prevent.
I would say that the CBI protected divination from negate since it isn't being prevented.

I don't know what the heck either of you guys are talking about...

goliath may or may not negate divinations ability allowing him to or not to be in battle.

Divination is "cannot be interrupted", which means that it cannot be interrupted and it cannot be negated after it has been played. It can be prevented and it can be negated before being played. What you're asking would work if you actually had Goliath. ;)

I don't understand the "taunt" identifier. Who is placed beneath deck?

I believe I read that the description following "Taunt" happens if the taunt is successful. So that would mean the hero that the opponent uses against your taunt. However, I don't think I understand why you would bother "defending" with a hero, so I'm sure there will be more information available about taunts.

get. disciples.

Well, thanks for clarifying Taunt and CBI (though I already knew as much about both :P), but I don't think it answers my question. If I play Divination on a Magician in my territory (due to it being Territory-class), not during a battle, and if the evil card I choose for Divination's effect is the Goliath promo, can I immediately place him into battle, with the "add it to ... battle" clause on Divination, to instantly and immediately initiate a Taunt battle challenge?
I'm hoping this makes sense.
-
I would say no. the battle isn't currently started, and so it cannot be added to battle, because there is no battle. you can make a battle immediately after, but he goes to territory first.

Why not just play Divination, get Goliath in hand, and Taunt with him the normal way?

I suppose he could be holy grailed the other way?

Taunt is an identifier. Not an ability to begin a battle.
If divination were a good card and brought a good character "into battle", you wouldnt suddenly be starting a rescue attempt.
Taunt is something that has to be initiated during the start of the battle phase
