Prized Unicorn forces all creatures your opponents control to attack it — a four-mana aggro magnet that fills your combat step with targets. General Marhault Elsdragon turns every one of those forced blocks into a rampage trigger, making Prized Unicorn one of the cleanest engines in that deck.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
General Marhault Elsdragon
General Marhault Elsdragon gets +1/+0 for each creature blocking it, and Prized Unicorn guarantees that every opponent's creature does exactly that — the Unicorn doesn't just synergize with the commander, it's the engine that makes rampage worth building around.
Emiel the Blessed
Emiel the Blessed can blink Prized Unicorn at instant speed, resetting the forced-attack trigger each combat and giving you repeatable board control over where your opponents point their armies.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Prized Unicorn is a Commander card through and through — the forced-attack ability only matters when there are multiple opponents with full boards, and that's exactly the battlefield state Commander produces. In Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, one-on-one games make the ability nearly irrelevant, and a 2/2 for four mana with no immediate impact is unplayable in those formats. Pauper is legal but the same logic applies: you're paying four mana to maybe redirect one attacker. Stick to Commander, and specifically to commanders like General Marhault Elsdragon that reward being attacked.

Price Context
Current price
$0.82 bulk tier
At $0.82, Prized Unicorn is bulk — easy to pick up as a casual include without any budget concern. The price reflects its narrow application; it won't climb unless a high-profile General Marhault Elsdragon build pushes demand, which is unlikely.
