Captivating Unicorn

Description

The Captivating Unicorn is a white creature card from the 2020 Magic: The Gathering set Theros Beyond Death, designated as card number 6 in the Theros Beyond Death (THB) block. Released in 2020 and illustrated by Emrah Elmasli, this common rarity card serves as a foundational component for players building mono-white or enchantment-focused decks within the Theros Beyond Death expansion. The card features a mana cost of four generic mana and one white mana, resulting in a total mana value of five, which positions it as a mid-game strategic play rather than an early aggression tool. As a Creature — Unicorn with a power and toughness of 4/4, Captivating Unicorn offers a substantial presence on the battlefield. Its primary strategic value comes from its Constellation ability. This triggered effect activates whenever any enchantment you control enters the battlefield under your control. When triggered, the ability allows you to tap a target creature an opponent controls. This interaction provides immediate tempo advantage and board control, making the unicorn particularly synergistic with decks that cast multiple enchantments. The flavor text adds narrative depth, quoting Oineus, a traveling merchant, describing the majesty of Nyx felt while gazing at the creature. Collectors and players who appreciate the mythological themes of the Theros Beyond Death expansion often seek out this card to complete their sets or to utilize its specific mechanical interaction. The card’s design reflects the aesthetic and thematic elements introduced in this 2020 release, appealing to those who enjoy the intersection of creature combat and enchantment synergy. Its straightforward rules text and impactful effect make it a recognizable and functional piece of the Theros Beyond Death catalog.
