It's seems you are short a few unicorns, and by a few I mean 9. I was surprised to see that it wasn't completely intentional, because you are still playing Revered Unicorn which is obviously the worst one. (besides Adarkar Unicorn and Rarity which had to go and ruin everything by being blue). Check out my unicorn deck if you want some ideas: Unicorns! (My EDH Masterpiece)

You aren't running every unicorn, and yet you chose to run Revered Unicorn over some other choices? For shame.

Check out my unicorn deck that I made about two years ago if you want some ideas to make your unicorns reign supreme. Unicorns! (My EDH Masterpiece)

I've also just discovered that Workhorse does wonders with Emiel. (and a bit of +1/+1 counter support)

xaarvaxus I'll probably make some changes in regard to your land suggestions. There are definitely other U/W and G/U lands I could add, such as the beta duals as well as shock lands and fetch lands. I don't think it is so much of a problem that I neeeeeed to add more blue mana sources, because if worst comes to worst I can just put out morophon and name unicorn, and thus not have to pay any blue mana. It seems a shame to change my mana base too much to accommodate my one blue spell, but really there isn't much harm in adding a Krosan verge and maybe a Hallowed Fountain.

In regard to your other suggestions I struggle more with board wipes than targeted removal, because who is going to waste a Swords to Plowshares on a Revered Unicorn , so hexproof is slightly pointless in my eyes. Currently Kindred Boon is what is helping me against board wipes, but I can't help but feel there is a better way to do it out there.

Icon of Ancestry is definitely a flavorful tribal card, but it seems unconventional for a deck with 2 main creature types that often have mana costs of 2 or 3. They aren't really worth paying 3 mana to search the top 3 cards for.

Yes, Cathars' Crusade would probably, actually you know what, it would be really good, I just don't know what to switch out for it. Perhaps Door of Destinies accomplishes the same goal but to a lesser extent?

Benevolent Unicorn is a weird card since it makes everything take less damage (not just your stuff), but it could be good while you're building up your board.

Prized Unicorn could be a really neat and thematic way to finish a game. Maybe consider adding a few other similar effects to effectively make all your other creatures unblockable, or to make this guy indestructible / reusable.

Totem-Guide Hartebeest is another on theme creature that actually lets you get something like Indestructibility for your Prized Unicorn or other utility creatures.

Revered Unicorn and Timbermare are the other two that jumped out at me as having some kind of weird potential, but I'm not sure how I feel about them overall.
