Come on, Purph, you can do better than a pair of golden gauntlets and horns, you made Opaline Unicorn after all!

Solid aura.

F1RST!

Okay, now that we've gotten the obligatory starting comment out of the way, with +2/+2, there's a lot less creatures you have to worry about should they block your guy. Decent common enchantment, though not as good as Pursuit of Flight in most instances, and costs 1 more.

Among my favorite flavor texts.

Even after 20 years I still find Giant Strength to be a fairly decent aura even though I know that history hasn't been good to it. I'm just not sure we need to cost this higher than an aura no one plays, just to tack on an ability no one will ever pay for.

Pretty aggressive, but not very exciting.

I like it. Sure you could use pursuit of flight if you're playing r\u, but in my rakdos deck I could put this on a cackler after madcap skills probably winning either turn 4 or 5.
3.5/5

I find this card to be criminally underrated right now. While it has no use in any other format, in limited it becomes a winner. With the lack of straight up removal in Theros, +2/+2 is a pretty big buff. After that, giving a repeatable "can't block" ability to the creature as well is better, meaning your big creature gets to swing in for with little to no hassle or you force them to block with their important creature. This basically won me the launch day tournament!.... except I didn't cause I failed to choose the right creatures with the ability.
