i'd really like to help you but the last time i played magic was like 8 years ago. i don't know all the new cards and stuff. is your deck based on offense or defense? do you go for the quick kill or grind it out? i think the most important part of any deck is to figure out what the strategy for it is, then go from there. hope that helps :]

Too many colors. If you want to keep that many colors, Put in four copies of Kentaro the Smiling Cat. It is a legendary so there can be only one out at a time, BUT its ability lets you pay any color mana for a creature's cost or even colorless mana.
I wrote that before I even added up the cards in your deck. 99 CARDS. 99, NO 60, 99. Seriously? 99???
For the first thing you have wayyyyy to many lands in your deck. 43. You should have 22-24 lands in your deck, and maybe less with all the mana fix in there. You don't need any enchantments in there. A bushido deck is a creature-based deck and relies on life-point exhaustion for a win. You really just have a melange of cards in there. I can't fix that deck as there's too much wrong.

You really need to cut the number of cards in this deck down to around 60. The only really good Samurai decks are red/white or mono white, not 3 color. I would drop entirely the black cards and all lands that are not plains or mountains. Some good cards that you should look at including in this deck are Umezawa's Jitte, Sensei's Divining Top, and Eight and a Half Tails. For a deck to be good, you need to include multiples of the good cards and 0 of the bad ones.

Wall of Air is to be had in Tenth Edition, an amazing one million/five flying wall for 3 mana. This makes for an excessively well blocker, as it could give up each flying and non-flying creatures. Slithering Shade from Dissension is zero/one million with defender, and you'll pump it up with black mana to soak up extra harm and even kill some thing it blocks. And it has hellbent, so in the event you do away with the entire playing cards to your hand you'll assault with it. Grozoth from Ravinica is infrequent and pricey, however tremendous, and will assault as soon as in a whilst in the event you pay a couple of mana. IT additionally permits you to seek for different playing cards. Tidewater Minion is identical, however smaller and less expensive. Primal Plasma from Planar Chaos generally is a one million/6 wall, or a three/three traditional creature, or a two/two flyer. The immediate Thunderheads from Dissension permits you to create transitority partitions at the fly. Junktroller from Ravinica is a nil/6 artifact wall for 4 mana. Drift of Phantasms is zero/five and will fly. But you do not need to use simplest partitions for security. Any creature can block, so long as it is untapped. And blue has a few spells to untap a creature. Serra Sphinx from Planar Chaos is a colour-shifted variant of one of the most exceptional shielding creatures ever, Serra Angel. Both are four/four, can fly, and do not faucet while attacking, so they are able to assault your opponent and nonetheless be to be had to dam. Vigilance is an excessively priceless potential, and will accept to any creature with the blue attraction Auramancer's Guise.
