Intimidate is an ability in Magic: The Gathering that makes a creature unblockable unless you block them with an artifact creature or a creature that shares a color with it. This may seem intuitive enough, but there are a few niche scenarios where intimidate can clash with other rules and mechanics. Worry not, we’ll cover all of these situations and more.
Intimidate in Magic: The Gathering
Intimidate is an evasion ability in MTG that basically means a creature cannot be blocked unless the blocker is the same color or an artifact. Intimidate is an “update” of the fear ability, and would go on to be replaced by menace, which is now the only iteration of this kind of combat evasion.
