Do/did you play MtG before? If so, you should remember the Kamigawa-Block, in which a mixture between eastern culture and mythology were the governing theme; Maybe you could get some inspiration from there?
It also incorporated "Bushido" as a typical ability for Samurai-themed creatures.
Although I see where you're going with this creatures, it needs some adjustments:
As it is now, it can spam the active ability as long you have enough mana (regarding its own cost this would mean, that you could push it AT LEAST to an indestructible 16/16!!!).
Also in MtG "Indestructible" is an ability, so the proper formulation is "gains Indestructible until end of turn", instead of "can not be destroyed" (the people of Wizards fixed this in the rules after one card, guess it was
Falkenrath Aristocrat, stated to BE indestructible, instead of HAVING Indestructible, causing some pretty decent tournament confusion).
On a more realistic print, it would look more like this:
"{2}: This creature gains +3/+3 and Indestructible until end of turn. Use this ability only once per turn"
But even then, it would be very strong in this case, since the values are totally off;
The manacost is too low for its ability and both its toughness and power (! Power, not Attack) are extremely high.
Not to mention the ability, which is both kind of broken and unfitting; Wouldn't the opposite be more in the flavor of a samurai, when only opponents strong enough could block it,
since he is outmaneuvering the small fries without any problem?
Even so, it feels more greenish than pure-red.
One last nitpick: Legendary creatures are characters, not just strong creatures.
It's a restriction to prevent players from controlling more than one instance of a permanent card, like for example "Krenko, Mob-Boss" (a totally overpowered card, that is already a handful on its own).
Legendary Creatures always have an own name, which this card has not. You know what? call him Kazeyoma. "Kazeyoma, Sanshin Samurai" sounds totally badass.

6 mana for the dojo is to much
that means you have to wait untill turn 9 to put a +2/+2 counter on target creature
there are alot of bettre things for alot less mana
Guest_SupremeKrenko_*
Technically turn 7, but that's not much better.
Although you're POSSIBLY right there too; I'd not be that excited to draw one land per turn until turn 7.
Common
no not turn 7 cause you have to tap it so you play it turn 6 you tap it turn 7 for 1 counter you tap it turn 8 for 2 counters you tap it turn 9 for 3 counters and pay 3 to put a +2/+2 counter on a creature

sorry i didnt post for so long. i agree with everything you have said. and yes i play magic and the latest set ive had was the mirrodin besieged core set XD so my cards are really old. ill see if i can fix those cards, but my card saver hasnt been working, or i dont know how to use it and i have to redo them every time. anyways... im not deep into lore, the only awesomeness i know is that dragon er... cant remember his name and the phyraxians destroyed their own world. so i dont know about that Kamigawa-Block. for some reason the cards are too big to upload. >:c so ill need help with that XD noob to the max.

I don't speak that much out of experience, but I guess that you reached the maximum amount of data the site allows you to use for cards as thumbnails;
Try using another uploader-site and link it. Also you should check that set-editor-tool-thingy (It's NUTZ!), up to this point it is more reliable than the site's editor.

If you want more knowledge of actual cards, http://www.mtgdeckbuilder.net/ is a great database for researching real deck ideas, it has caused me to be way more knowledgeable at magic than many more experienced players, good luck!

This thread has gone a LOT further than i expected. So instead of posting the actual cards ive decided that ill post the ability, cost, and name in the text box because im also lazy and dont want to look around for a solution. Also i realize im shit with writing cards the way they should but whatever. Bare in mind these cards are ideas, not the deck itself because the spread is chaotic, anyways here goes:

(2) Equip to any Samurai creatre,
that creature gains +1/+1 and Deathtouch.
This creature gains protection from white,
but cannot block black creatures.

creature is killed, pay (2r) to

the cost, destroy this card and lose

Mounted Samurai

Samurai Archer
4/2
Samurai Master 6/2
Sanshin Samurai (updated to v 2.0)

Sanshin Samurai cannot do battle with a
creature who's toughness is higher than
Sanshin Samurai's power
7/7
Trained Samurai
2/1
If i missed any then just tell me, i log on pretty often just to check so that i can answer quickly. Really appreciate the time you guys put into reading the thread and adding ideas, makes me feel like this is a good idea.

As a further note, i believe i will update all my cards to have bushido, its a LOT better than what i had before. So i will post up the statistics if you want because if nobody wants me to i wont bother.

(Waddledom): there already are ninjas and their abilities are Ninjitsu. which in itself is a nasty mechanic. but in keeping with the temple garden spirit of thing s yes ninjas are the next logical step in a Japanese (Eastern) themed lineup
