Intimidate is almost laughably bad on a four-color card.
Heh. 16 life on turn 1 for a 5/5 trample vigilant? Yeah, why not. Except rather than vigilance I'd rather make this unable to block, so that going down to 4 life is a real risk against any aggressive deck, rather than only a risk against aggressive flying or burn decks.
The goal was to give it an ability from each color. and I'll be changing Intimidate for "can only be blocked by red or artifact creatures.
But that's exactly intimidate, just spelled out. I don't understand the point.
One is "Can only be blocked by red and artifact"; intimidate was "Can be blocked by anything except mono red".
Which is a bit niche, needless to say. Oooh, creature theft is an interesting alternative ability.
This is slated for a set where it's red vs the other colors. I wanted to keep decks that are red and something else from blocking with non-red creatures.
