About Starhound
Starhound, Unit, designed by Kudos Productions first released in Mar, 2026 in the set Unleashed.
Starhound is best suited for a midrange or value‑oriented tribal deck that runs a critical mass of Birds, Cats, Dogs, or Poros and expects those units to trade off early, since its 5‑cost body effectively turns into card advantage by rebuying an important synergy piece or key threat; it’s especially solid in grindy metas where recursion and hand refill matter more than tempo. However, in faster or more competitive environments, a 5‑cost conditional recursion effect may be too slow compared to cheaper or more flexible revival/value tools (such as lower‑cost units that recur any creature type, spells that return units directly to play instead of hand, or multi‑card draw engines that don’t require tribal constraints), which would generally be stronger if available in your format. Overall, Starhound is playable in dedicated tribal midrange builds that can reliably trigger it and want redundancy, but it’s unlikely to be an auto‑include unless the Bird/Cat/Dog/Poro package is a core, well‑su
