Flavor standpoint: I'm very disappointed with the card flavorwise. Toshi did not strike me as being a samurai at all in the book. He was a rogue. Straight up. Undeniable. Also, his ability should have had at least SOMETHING to do with Arcane. The book revealed that his "Kanji magic" was derived from Kami (thus, Arcane). His power also was absolutely NOT tied to things dying. The card is completely out of flavor.
Well, you can't really say his power wasn't tied to things dying, since he used blood to scribe his kanji most of the time... of course, the blood didn't have to come from a dying creature, more often than not it came from himself... but he did use the blood of dying creatures on several occasions.
So whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, you can essentially flashback any instant in your graveyard? plus he's a 2/2 bushido 1 for 3. I like him.
Edit: that's a pretty nice combo with the orchard... I may have to get my hands on an orchard and a night of soul's betrayl now...
