RE: ❉▦[ Dawn of the Phantasms ]▦❉
Liked the idea of combining lust's move trigger and samurai's attack trigger.
This unit is great at bullying minions, attracting them to their doom like a pitcher plant, but is completely harmless against other 'bigger' adversaries.
Creativity: 3/5. Putting Lust and Samurai trigger on one piece
Theme: 3½/5. I like the mechanical theming this would have where it like, lunges to eat a minion. I don't think I should criticize it for literally using the same Lust theming of attraction which fits less on a plant, because you're just using an ability that's already there.
Execution: 2/5. Unfortunately this piece would be really degenerate against minions, even worse than Ranger is. It's like Destroy but automatic, the only issue being you MIGHT need to move back the next turn if its Samurai attack puts it into threat. There's no want for this to have back moves at all, because it allows for it to dance around to get free minions just like other Magic pieces.
Also, this has ambiguity as to WHICH unit is going to be attacked by the Samurai-attack trigger (if there are more than one), which gets worse at the ++ level, you don't know where the piece will move to. I would recommend it be a minion and all its attacks and moves to point forwards, maybe some to the side, but never move backwards.

Admittedly really hard for entropic minions to deal with.
The game hints say that triggers trigger from a1 to h8 so this unit should attack the bottom left unit first, and the top right unit last.
