The RW signpost uncommon for this set is Samurai/Warrior tribal. Looks like the tribe wants you to send your champion and swing it for tons of damage, holding the rest of your blades over to defend you.
I wonder why they didn’t just reuse exalted as the samurai/warrior mechanic. I guess they wanted the “attacks alone” thing to only affect samurai and warriors, instead of just any old creature on the same team?
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.

Yes, this looks like a very specific decision to make it a tribal mechanic.

Additionally, they mentioned that they wanted there to be a variety of payoffs, rather than just +1/+1. For example, we've already seen "cheap equip", tap down a creature, and tribal firebreathing, all of which play differently than exalted would.
This card is something you're goibg to wanna watch out for in limited. If you miscalculate a swing and this comes back at you, it could be game over. I like both arts as well!

You think they ever go for anything subtle like that? looool
