Intimidate doesn't seem strange, it is strange. At least fear made sense, because the creature's appearance or abilities would strike 'fear' into your opponent's creatures. I'm not entirely sure how a 3/2 pig is going to intimidate something like Lord of the Pit... Or any sort of demon for that matter.

I've always had a problem with intimidate flavourwise. You're telling me a zombie or a skeleton, who is a emotionless husk with no concept of fear, morals or self preservation can be intimidated?
Fear in black was fine because it made sense that sentient races would be afraid of it. It even made sense that animals would avoid such horrible creatures since instinct would tell them to.
Oh well. As long as black keeps the majority of creatures with intimidate I'm fine with it since it's supposed to be black's main form of evasion.

what the fudge? intimidate sounds more of a green mechanic
what happen to fear?.... at least change it back to fear or fright, dread, terror, horror, panic or something to do with black mana
i believe a huge baloth would be scared of severed hands feet (Severed legion) going after u
right?

Nice card against decks that have no reds, but if they have, it screams CRAP.

intimidate is just the new mechanic wizards made to bring fear to colors other than black

For intimidate mechanic, we just have to accept that its a MAGIC ability that prevents anything but the same color creatures and artifacts from blocking it.
Its not that Lord of the Pit is scared of this guy, its just that there is strong magic preventing him from blocking.

I LOVE the flavortext on this card. It goes with the mechanic so perfectly. See, the only things that can block it (stand in its path) are either red (brave) or artifacts (mindless).
