Magic the Gathering

Fear

‘Fear’ was intro­duced with the begin­ning of the game and it has recently been replaced by Intim­i­date which is not color spe­cific key­word ability.

702.33. Fear

• 702.33a. Fear is an eva­sion ability.
• 702.33b. A crea­ture with fear can’t be blocked except by arti­fact crea­tures and/or black crea­tures. (See rule 509, “Declare Block­ers Step.”)
• 702.33c. Mul­ti­ple instances of fear on the same crea­ture are redundant.

Trans­la­tion:

• 702.33a — Fear applies to com­bat in defin­ing who can and can’t block the creature.
• 702.33b — Your oppo­nent can only block this crea­ture by using an arti­fact crea­ture or a crea­ture that shares this creature’s color.
• 702.33c — The game doesn’t care how many instances of Fear a crea­ture has, 1 is the same as 100.
