Valorous Steed, card number 42 in the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2021, is a white Common creature that functions as a Unicorn. Released in 2020, this card carries a mana cost of four generic mana and one white mana, resulting in a total mana value of five. The card features a power and toughness of 3/3, providing a solid presence on the battlefield for its casting cost. The gameplay mechanics of Valorous Steed are defined by two primary abilities. First, it possesses vigilance, which allows it to attack without tapping, ensuring it remains available for blocking in the subsequent opponent's turn. Second, when the creature enters the battlefield, it triggers an effect that creates a 2/2 white Knight creature token with vigilance. This token generation provides additional board presence and strategic flexibility without requiring additional mana investment. Designed by artist Donato Giancola, the card is part of the M21 set code, which established the base checklist for the 2021 core release. The flavor text accompanying the illustration notes that a unicorn chooses only the most virtuous and noble of knights to be its companion, reinforcing the thematic connection between the creature and the token it generates. For collectors focusing on creature types or the specific design elements of the Core Set 2021, this card serves as a standard entry in the set's base checklist. The combination of a mid-range creature body and immediate value generation makes Valorous Steed a recognizable component of the M21 design landscape.
