How it works : Intimidation Bolt

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If the targeted creature has become an illegal target by the time Intimidation Bolt resolves, Intimidation Bolt doesn't resolve. Creatures will still be able to attack that turn.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If the targeted creature survives the damage, it can attack this turn, but no other creatures can. If the targeted creature is destroyed, no creatures can attack this turn, including creatures that enter later on.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    For the second part of Intimidation Bolt's effect to do anything, it must be cast before attackers are declared.
