Sam? Sam? What, your name isn't Sam? It's Samurai! **Circuit Challenge**
Hello, all.
A thousand years (or something like that) ago, there was a set called Champions of Kamigwa. The main mechanic and covering archetype for white was Bushido.
Bushido N (Whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked, it gets +N/+N until end of turn.)
Now, this was a very fun set to play with IMO, and Bushido was a great mechanic!
Make cards using Bushido!
Example:
1st place: 4 faves, a follow, three favourites gifted to another cardsmith, and a card made for you. +1 Circuit Point
2nd place: 2 faves, a follow, five favourites gifted to another cardsmith, and a card made for you. +3/4 Circuit Point
3rd place: A follow, two favourites gifted to another cardsmith, and a card made for you. + 1/2 Circuit Point
Honorable Mentions: 1 fave. +1/4 Circuit Point
4 entries max!

The idea behind this is using provoke and goad to force the bonus of bushido.

Some more to come.
should have tribal type but it wouldn't fit
samurai cascade is exactly what you think it is
Another way to view it is a dishonorable samurai sacrificing himself to restore his honor.

The main issue with bushido I think was that the creatures were a bit underpowerd in the base stats for their mana cost, so your opponent could just not block them and suffer less. I've had this idea for some time that it would be fun with bushido to force your opponents to block. Well, here it is.

I think it's pretty flavorful if you understand Samurai culture a little bit

Would something like
Bushido 3 - Whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked, scry 3.
be okay?
