Strategy

A staple in any Gandalf-heavy deck, Intimidate can thwart a number of Shadow wounding strategies or save companions who otherwise would have succumbed to a regular skirmish. Holding one in your hand would not be a bad idea, but it may be more advisable to use it at first opportunity and retrieve it with Barliman Butterbur, Prancing Pony Proprietor (1U70) or a similar card should the need arise.

Care must be taken to not waste Intimidate in a situation where a Shadow card demands you wound a character or perform another action, as using Intimidate may force you to choose the other action inadvertently. See "Rules and Clarifications" below.

Rulings

From the Comprehensive Rules:

If something happens to prevent one effect which in turn would have prevented a second effect, the second effect is performed.

Example: Morgul Destroyer is played. The Free Peoples player wounds the Ring-bearer to prevent the threats from being added. The Free Peoples player then plays Intimidate. Because Intimidate has prevented the effect (a wound) that would have prevented Morgul Destroyer’s effect, the threats are now added.
