About Intimidation Bolt

Intimidation Bolt, Instant, designed by Michael Bruinsma first released in Apr, 2009 in the set Alara Reborn. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 1.83.

Intimidation Bolt would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on slowing down the opponent's board development by removing threats and preventing attacks. While it provides a temporary reprieve by preventing other creatures from attacking, there are potentially better options available such as Lightning Helix, which not only deals damage but also gains life, or Path to Exile, which offers permanent creature removal. Intimidation Bolt could see play in specific metagames or sideboard situations, but may not be a staple card in most decks.

Rules

05/01/09

For the second part of Intimidation Bolt’s effect to do anything, it must be cast before attackers are declared.

05/01/09

If the targeted creature has become an illegal target by the time Intimidation Bolt resolves, Intimidation Bolt doesn’t resolve. Creatures will still be able to attack that turn.
