Good-Fortune Unicorn FDN 0240 · uncommon

Take it when

Develop creatures, spread permanent counters across the board, and convert those counters into first strike, trample and a better long-game board.

What to take next

Play Good-Fortune Unicorn before a later creature or token maker when safe. Felidar Savior can then spread counters to other creatures, letting Inspiring Paladin improve their attacks.

Wrong pick

Counter rewards need creatures to carry them. Inspiring Paladin grants first strike only during your turn, so a powerful attack does not mean the same board can make safe first-strike blocks.

Mana & splash

Keep the colored sources needed for early spells. A synergy payoff does not automatically justify a splash.

Interactions from the card text, not a ranking.

Gnarlid ColonyA two-drop fills the curve or arrives with two counters for five total mana when kicked. It grants trample to every creature you control with a +1/+1 counter, including itself when kicked.

Felidar SaviorIts entry puts counters on up to two other creatures, spreading lasting power and supporting counter payoffs. It cannot target itself; develop creatures before it when doing so is safe.

Inspiring PaladinIt gives creatures with counters first strike during your turn and has first strike itself then. That protection disappears on the opponent's turn, so do not evaluate a block as if the bonus persists.

One-pick Draft

Other creatures enter and then receive a counter from its trigger. Token makers supply several triggers, but a creature dying before its counter trigger resolves receives no rescue.
