Unicorns
Baby Unicorn (Rainbow)
Card Type: Baby Unicorn
If this card would be sacrificed, destroyed, or returned to your hand, return it to the Nursery instead.
Narwhal
Card Type: Basic Unicorn
Magical Kittencorn
Card Type: Magical Unicorn
This card cannot be destroyed by Magic cards.
Chronocorn
Card Type: Ultimate Unicorn
When this card enters your Stable, DISCARD a card. This card can be played as an Instant card.
- Baby Unicorn: starts in the Nursery. Most Babies go back there instead of being destroyed, sacrificed or returned to your hand.
- Basic Unicorn: no special power, just a Unicorn. Example: Narwhal.
- Magical Unicorn: joins your Stable with a power. Example: Magical Kittencorn cannot be destroyed by Magic cards.
- Ultimate Unicorn: a rare heavy hitter from the Control and Chaos decks. Each one asks a price when it enters, like a sacrifice or a discard. Example: Chronocorn.
Every Unicorn in your Stable counts toward victory, Babies included.
