Norika Yamazaki, the Poet

The trigger keys off the loneliest line in Samurai design: a solo attacker. Samurai and Warriors on this plane were built around attacking alone, folding menace and pump effects into the reward for sending one creature in unaccompanied, and Norika reroutes that same solo-strike condition into a recursion engine rather than a combat buff. Swing one Samurai or Warrior in by itself and you unlock an enchantment from your graveyard to recast, splicing a graveyard toolbox into a tribe that otherwise wants to swing wide. This is where the design pays for itself: attacking alone is usually the weaker line, so it rewards restraint, and it rewards it in a card type Samurai decks rarely touch. The license lasts only that turn, though, so the loop is a per-turn drip rather than an open floodgate; you have to hold a board that can spare one attacker and a graveyard worth reaching into on the same turn. The 3/2 with vigilance is the connective tissue: vigilance lets Norika be the lone attacker herself without tapping out of blocking range, so the enabler and the payoff can live on one body. It is a narrow, self-referential design, an enchantment-recursion value piece bolted onto a go-wide aggro tribe more than a card that reshapes how either archetype plays.
