Rules Tip: Allies

Ally (which rhymes with “shall I”) is a new creature type. Allies are good at teamwork, so nearly every Ally has an ability that does something good when it enters the battlefield, as well as whenever another Ally enters the battlefield under your control. For example, if you already control three such Allies and you put a fourth one onto the battlefield, the abilities of all four Allies will trigger! You choose the order those abilities will resolve.

Rules Tip: Intimidate

Intimidate is a new keyword ability seen on creatures that are particularly difficult to block. If a creature with intimidate is attacking, it can be blocked by creatures that share a color with it. It can also be blocked by artifact creatures, regardless of what color they are. But that’s it! No other creatures can block it.
