The fact that each Seishin is so slow and expensive combats this (making a pseudo 4-person squad with 3 attack of them costs 100 points on its own, ignoring that each can only be placed with deaths), but I'm a little concerned about how potentially doubling the effective life of the Samurai squads if the Seishin keep coming back will affect higher point total games.
At 25pts each? Not at all. If someone wants to dump 200pts into Seishin, and the opponents are dumb enough not to kill any of them off while they're standing around, they deserve what they get. Which is probably not much, considering the low Move and moderate Attack.

That's a fair point. It's tough to imagine that most players will let them build up to that extent in the first place, and unless the player drops a significant portion of their army into the Seishin, they can be neutralized after a single poor placement to stop the revival cycle.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think that I'll proceed with this version replacing Fading Curse:

WAVE OF FEAR
Instead of taking a turn normally with a Seishin Samurai, you may take a turn with all Seishin Samurai that you control.
I'd like for them to still work with Kato to give him more validity in those higher point games, so I'd prefer to avoid requiring an Order Marker on the card if possible. I would say just move and attack with all of them after taking a turn with one, although that runs into attacking outside of the turn problems, if I'm not mistaken.

Wave of Fear is a placeholder name that I found after some brief research (it refers to the anxiety that warriors felt before battle from my understanding, but it felt like a fitting descriptor for a bunch of undead Samurai attacking nonetheless). @BiggaBullfrog is generally a lot better at naming Samurai elements than I am.

I'm fond of the 25 point price. It pairs nicely with the 65 points of the Tagawa Samurai Archers, and can be used at 25, 50, or 75 points to provide a lot more flexibility for building to various point totals. I'll drop it to 20 if they're testing pretty weakly, but I'm hesitant to make them too cheap still because of those 1000 point games.

Re: Astro's Custom Units [Update 9/30/19: Undead Samurai]

Yeah, I honestly think this will work out a lot better. I do think you should keep the "remove all these lads" gimmick in mind - it's a fun one and you can use it elsewhere.

Yeah, I think that this will actually encourage a mostly similar playstyle because it encourages the other player to destroy them earlier as their offensive power potentially grows, but it does it through an active threat rather than a timer. I'm not sure if it'll be enough to warrant taking 4+ of them realistically, but the growing threat should be a fun change.

Is the above different from what you had in the Pre-Sov thread? It seems the same...

It's the same save for a bump up to 30 points after more testing. I like to keep records of my customs for synergy links in this thread, so I wanted to create a post in this style before submitting it to SoV either today or tomorrow.

Gotcha...well it looks pretty great. Love the undead mechanic of replacing the TSA's with these guys. I can definitely see the fun-factor.

Thanks for the kind words. I think that they're a ton of fun to play with the TSA and they really flesh out their playstyle.

Correct. The fact that they're a Common Hero rather than a true squad is still important for army-building reasons (the ratio of Seishin to living Samurai is an important balance to strike) and some minor synergies like being excluded from Masha's Awakened Terror aura.
