This is just a feels good unicorn tribal deck. There is not infinite combo, no win condition outside of unicorns. It's centered around Emiel the Blessed and his ability to blink unicorns and get counters. Paired up with cards like The Ozolith and Blessed Sanctuary you can get some synergy going. And for the love of Heliod, DO NOT play Coat of Arms if you are playing against other tribal decks, I learned my lesson the hard way at the point of Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir's blade.

I'm usually pretty strict about tribal decks and that if it doesn't have the creature type in it I will not run it, i'm going to make an exception for Thurid, Mare of Destiny as they are a unicorn lord. I think it's going to be worth it despite it not getting the +2/+2 from Emiel.

The maybeboard is all the cards i've experimented with and will experiment with to try to streamline this deck the best I can within my budget. I would say that if money isn't much of a concern for you, upgrade the landbase.

After some playtesting I think some artifact and/or Enchantment tutoring to help. I would love some advice to bring this up to a more consistent and competitive deck level without breaking my wallet. My only rule is I cannot have any infinite combos in the deck. Will update it as I get new cards in my collection to buff it up a bit.

I do notice it needs a little more removal and answers to spells as well. Got steamrolled by a Pillowfort and a Mutate deck, nothing could stick or do anything to help me. I'm tempted to remove the tribal part of the deck and add in non-unicorn creatures. But my heart won't allow me to do so, it's unicorn or bust!

Looking for more card draw & removal/protection (had protection with Wishmonger but it went both ways which kind of stunk since it hurt me too)
