For Challenge # 083

Magic has had unicorns since alpha, but very very few, and only one or two have any particular mechanical identity. I almost wonder if they should be lumped in with horses?

It is hard to get a unicorn-appropriate mechanic.

This is my effort, based on the "only capturable by an innocent" idea. I don't entirely like it, it has too many memory issues, but it's the best I could come up with.

It seems a little similar to werewolves, except there's no toggle to remind you when it has protection, which is a problem.

I'm not sure exactly how the rule should be written -- I think they should be able to attack every other turn without triggering protection, but I'm not sure if they fireball you during their first main phase, the unicorn should gain protection immediately or not?

ETA: Oh, and suggestions for a less generic name?
