Samurai Enforcers

The defensive face of bushido. Where the keyword usually rides on an aggressive samurai that wants to be unblocked and swing for extra, here the mechanic is wired backward: a 4/4 that becomes a 6/6 the moment something attacks into it. Bushido triggers in either combat role, but the body and rate point at the block. As a wall it punishes the attacker into a bad trade; as an attacker it forces the same dilemma onto a would-be blocker, since chumping a creature that grows mid-combat rarely pays. A bushido of 2 is the lever the whole design turns on: the swing is large enough that few cheap creatures want to be on either side of the equation, but the base 4/4 is still soft to anything that refuses to fight it (a removal spell, a bounce, a flier that simply goes around it). That is the era's honesty about vanilla-plus white beaters: a clean stat line, one combat keyword, and no protection from the things that decline combat entirely. It belongs to the family of fair-fight white creatures whose entire pitch is that you do not want to attack or block into them, and whose weakness is anyone willing to do neither.
