I love Unicorns, and I love MTG. But I hate MTG Unicorns. Is that weird?

One of the better Unicorns in Magic. Unicorn Tribal needs a drastic improvement in the number and quality of Unicorns in the game.

Wow... In Pauper, this is the perfect answer to pestilence and storm!

Let's say your opponent is playing grapeshot, right?

Turn 1: plains
Turn 2: plains, this unicorn

and the game is over. This can be incredibly awesome in pauper!

Heh... I kept this card simply because the art cracks me up.

You can get around this if you play cards that result in life lost, not damage.

@Mephastopheles

Does this answer Pestilence? The card says "Whenever a SPELL assigns damage." Does this by some trick of "Old rules" include Pestilence?

Benevolent? Okay, this is Fluttershy, then.

@Ptolemis: you dissappoint me, this time. How can Fluttershy be a unicorn..?

This would not stop pestilence - pestilence is a permanent so long as it's on the battlefield which is when you can activate its ability.

If it had 1 more toughness, this would kill RDW. As it is, I guess it sucks up a lightning bolt at least.

The best use of a unicorn's horn is as a decorative garnish for your feast of the unicorn.

I want to see a black card with the the opposite of this flavor text: "The best use for a unicorn's horn is to adorn my wall."

And yet, still in bolt range. Oh well.

One nice thing about this is that it doesn't prevent the damage, it actually makes a replacement effect. So it could get around things like Everlasting torment and the like. Still a pretty narrow use, but I like it.

I- I don't know what to say! This is just so... generous! *smooch on Dragon Whelp's cheek*
