Card Dissection: Intimidate (AW84)

There are cards that everyone will discuss for their awesomeness, others for their strategy, and some for their power, but let us ever overlook the value of a cards utility. Intimidate (AW84) is one such card.

With less than half the set spoiled, we can only begin to guess at how a typical deck will play out. However, what is being overlooked are events that help run defensive and offensive elements of your deck. These cards form the core balance between the light and dark, and do not rely on dice rolls to cause mayhem to your opponent.

This blue villain event allows you to remove all shields from a character. Simple action in of itself, but that could effectively be the equivalent of up to 3 damage for only the cost of an action and a card.

Sure, we are limited by the fact this is a blue villain card, but we have seen throughout the different spoiled cards that there are many cards similar to this that help play the defensive or offinsive game away from the dice.

I believe we will find as we learn more about the game that cards such as this one are just as important as the dice in the game, and a sure fire zero cost effect is better than the chance of a good roll from a character.
