This is a samurai tribal deck that takes advantage of the Bushido mechanic and rancors. Bushi Tenderfoot is a weird flip card that can become a powerful 3/4 double striker with Bushido 1. Jade Avenger is an excellent combatant at 2/2 with Bushido 2. Isao, Enlightened Bushi is an extremely powerful legend that grants other samurai regenerate. There are also a smattering of Neon Dynasty "exalted" attack alone cards. Kappa Tech Wrecker/SLA ave some sneaky applications for when opponents are avoiding the bushido creatures. There is a minor enchantments theme with Norika Yamizaka and cards like Fang of Shigeki/Rancor. Eater of Virtue has lots of cool abilities that it can siphon.

I get that modern is super competitive and have some other decks that lean more that way. This is designed with weird fun interactions in mind. I hope I've succeeded in creating a flavorful fun-to-play samurai deck with a few ninjas thrown in for kicks! Let me know what you think. I would love to hear other suggestions.

**Update: Took out the forced block stuff after testing the deck. it just felt like that wasn't really need it. Replaced it with Konda's Hatamoto.
