2/2 for 2 not bad at all

When you actually go up against a Black deck... nice! {W}{W} in an all White deck for a 2/2? Cool.

It's good to see Bushido on a creature that isn't overpriced. On a 2/2 for 2 with pro-black, great. This is Kamigawa's White Knight, and is superior to his Dominarian cousin.

What's better first strike 2/2 or a 2/2 tha's 3/3 in combat... I guess it might depend on your strategy. Still, a great card if it sizes up to the white knight.

2/2, Protection from black. Bushido 1. Mere 2 mana. Seems like a good deal to me.

Hand of Cruelty's brother. Imagine this guy attacking and that guy blocking. Fun!

@Happyface1515: Unfortunately, Hand of Cruelty can't block this guy, because protection from Black prevents Hand of Honor from being dealt damage from a Black source, enchanted or equipped from a Black source, blocked by a Black source, or targeted by a Black source. So as cool as the two Hands squaring off (or the original White Knight and Black Knight), it can't happen.

I love Samurai. Too bad the Hands couldn't have been made as splashable as the exalted Knight of Glory and Knight of Infamy, but R&D understandably kept faithful to the stats of the original first striking Knights. My W/R Samurai deck would just prefer to be able to cast it more easily.
