Bushido on a flier is a keyword pulling in two directions at once, because the trigger only fires in combat and an evasive body is built to avoid the kind of combat it rewards. On offense, the 1/1 swings for one in the air and collects its +1/+1 only if a creature with reach or flying agrees to block, which few defenders will do against a single point of damage. The bonus reads more honestly on defense: throwing the body in front of a two-power flier turns it into a 2/2 and trades up, but a flier asked to block is a flier not pressuring anyone. So the card never quite gets to use both halves of itself, and the Bushido tends to sit dormant. What it does dependably is supply a body in a white Samurai shell, where the tribe's payoffs reward sharing the type far more than they reward the stats attached to it. A one-power flier that occasionally outsizes its toughness in a block fills exactly the common-rarity role that kind of deck runs on. Strip away the tribe and the math reverses: the flying is the line worth keeping, and the Bushido becomes a rounding error.
