What prevents you from playing both in the same deck?

It’s fine as fourth or seventh Chakri Avatar or Bloodrage Mask. Might see play in a Mirror Meld deck. Redundancy is important.

So first reveal for other factions are adequate cards for other factions, first reveal for songhai is pack filler? Sad day.

This card reminded me of others from card design in the past:
@alplod: Card Design Contest May/June
Kaido Kunoichi / Songhai minion / 1 mana / (0/2)
Backstab(3), Rush.
The vessel for saberspine, ethereal blades, KE, MDS, mirror meld. Will not attack if not buffed, so combo oriented.
@neme6ix: Card Design Contest May/June
Kintaro
Songhai Arcanyst Minion
2 mana 0/3
Whenever ANY minion is moved for any reason, give this minion +1 Attack.
As for CPG’s card, it’s not even 1/4, so it’ll die still to tiger (a constant risk for songhai players putting their kataras & chakris in front), so it doesn’t offer a positive even in that regard. This card really is sad to see. Just…what a waste 
Cool art.
For when you want to really go all the way on spell synergies I guess.
Also it’s an early removal bait, so not that bad.

So I’ve been thinking. Suzumebachi does have an advantage over Chakri avatar that’s super important: You don’t care if it get’s joseki’d, which means playing joseki is less dangerous, since you want to be giving bad cards and getting good ones.

I cannot really accept how bad and uninspired this card is 
it seriously sounds like a trolling attempt, no offense meant, it’s just so weird seeing it’s so similar yet worse than a core card

This is worst than chakri avatar, looks better just because he has 3 health.
But hey, atleast Songhai has another 2 drop option.
It’s not that bad either. It can fly under the radar more, it can be Inner Focus’ed more, etc.

Man it’s been awhile anyhow this card is heralding something big in the next expansion. This is a card that has to survive to the next turn. Odds are most of us will leave it alone to kill somethin g else or go face. With that said either songhai is gonna get more card draw or some form of free cheap spell generation. Either is very scarey for a faction that can kill u like that with a full hand.
Remember ppl over looked azure wing and scroll bandit in the last expansion.

This thing is a worse avatar…theres no way we overlook something
I’m not saying that… from this point in time yes it is. But I’m more the confident the next expansion has some from of cheap spell generation. With that said if both a chakari or this came out on the same turn along with other cards this card would be the only one to survive the turn.
Like imagine a card that increases all spell boosted cards by x3 or x4 th e amount of spells u play.
Would still be better with avatar
The point is if both were out at the same time there is no way chakari lives to see another turn. 3 mana isn’t 4 mana sure but it survives a general attack. And you do t want to waste removal or dispell on a 2 mana 1/3. It’s cheap so you can play it along other threats baiting thier removal while this 1/3 was ur actual attacker.

I guess it’s removal bait?
Who’d waste a actual removal spell or ability just to kill this tho. I still think there is going to be a spell or effect that makes spells played count as 2 or 3 spells played it would combo with other songhai spells like th e one that deals double damage per spell played.
Bad card for the sole reason of having 1 attack and resetting.
