I just threw this on here. I'm still undecided about how to approach it. The name and the flavor text are amazing. How to execute on it mechanically leaves me stranded...
I interpreted it as 'this creature strikes others with Terror'. Intimidate feels more green/red like 'the alpha male exerts his dominance' kinda thing.
Link: Sure, but "this thing has fear", in English, means "this thing is afraid". It's even worse than "this thing has flying": flying in English isn't a noun at all, but fear is a noun that applies to the one being scared, not the one doing the scaring.
You're including shadow in your eternal core set? On a tiny smattering of cards?

Why not intimidate?
Because flavor. >.>
Fear: this creature is afraid. Intimidate: this creature is scary. The word fear never made sense, that's part of the reason Wizards changed it.
