Whenever Nobori Mothrider attacks, creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn.

~NAME IS A SPOILER~ costs less to cast for each creature you control that died this turn.

I want to thank movexig and others for helping me refine ~NAME IS A SPOILER~ from my previous Orochi Avenger.
For reference, here are the set's other white Samurai. Mothrider General is a revision of my earlier Rampant Gokenin. I wanted to preserve the first-strike damage combat trick with this ability, so I kept the Metsuke, but the Gokenin [U]was[/U] overboard:
Clever Yoriki3W
Creature - Human Samurai [C]
Bushido 2
Remove Clever Yoriki from combat: Another target blocked creature you control gets +2/+2 until end of turn.
[2/2]
Agile Metsuke1W
Creature - Human Samurai [U]
First strike
Bushido 1
Remove Agile Metsuke from combat: Another target blocked creature you control gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
[1/1]
Mothrider General3WW
Creature - Human Samurai [R]
Flying, vigilance
Bushido 3
Remove Mothrider General from combat: Another target blocked creature you control gets +3/+3 until end of turn.
[3/3]
I'm looking for the white Samurai in this set to fulfill some kind of functional midrange strategy. What else do I still need in order to get there?
I seriously would love to open Onna-Bugeisha in Limited. I loved Priests of Norn and I think I feel the same way about this card.
I see nothing in the art of NAME IS A SPOILER to indicate the spoiler. Okay, what major character from the Kamigawa block story dies in Call to Glory?
The remove-from-combat vertical cycle now feels fixed, good job.
Thanks! I don't feel like Onna-Bugeisha is quite the recurring threat that Priests of Norn was, but I'd say that she is the superior speedbump. I'm being very conscious of the number of blocking-oriented Samurai in the set (since bushido favors blocking over attacking, by default) but I figured there needed to be at least one white Samurai that could be an unabashed blocker. Plus, she can swing in for a damage + life if necessary.
Mum's the word on the spoiler. I'm getting this crazy idea to organize all 306 cards in Call to Glory chronologically and write a story to accompany the set. (I've already more or less started to do so in the set thread.) Let's just say that, if I did this, NAME IS A SPOILER would not appear until sometime in the third act - card 250 or so. Seeing as how I've only designed about 90 cards so far, I'm gonna make people wait before I reveal the card's name.

Also, a couple mockups are attached.

Nope.
Good guess, though...
@gumOnShoe: You are right! I'll fix it.
