Reprint of Bladetusk boar. I played around with alternate stats for ages, and toyed with adding haste as well for more mana, and decided that despite everything, I still preferred the original.

Couldn't persuade you to reminder-text intinmidate, could I?

Seems slightly weak for its cost.

­Bladetusk Boar was actually extremely strong in Zendikar limited. 3 points of unblockable damage per turn, plus whatever pump spells you've got, wins games.

Vitenka: shrug I don't think there's much call to add reminder text to an expert set for an ability which is (as of recently) supposedly standard, especially on a creature on a website devoted to magic-card designers and ready access to gatherer. And I think if anyone's playing with it, someone can easily say "red fear" and they'll understand. But OTOH, I don't see any harm, so could easily do so.

Yeah. I think it always looks weak when you first see it, but is very nice. I fiddled with a smaller creature, but it wasn't as interesting as black gets those often, and a stronger creature, but it was probably too much, and a 3/1, but then it felt like it might as well be "T: deal 3 damage to target nonred player".

A tweak would be to make it situational, or give it shroud (or my anti-shroud) so it's harder to pump. But this felt right for common (especially since we're not sure what intimidate creatures red may get).
