Regenerate is like rebirth, as snakes shed their skin.

Its both that many reptiles can regrow tails and such things, but also that in many asian cultures the snake shedding its skin is a sign of rebirth like the phoenix is to being reborn. Anyways, the idea behind the card is pretty straight forward, play a creature with death touch, when your opponent goes to attack it thinking they are about to kill it but lose their creature, bam you slap down this card since it has flash and regenerate it. Really intended to go with sosuke.

I like this card, I run it in casual. But for just G it would have been much better :)
You forgot Winged Coatl (one of my favorite snakes) and I guess you could count Snakeform as a type of flash as well.
Flavorwise, it seems very snake-ish. 3 mana, you prevent a trade off of creatures. 4 mana, you stop almost anything from killing your creature. The only thing this is missing for MTG snake abilities, is the "hit opponent/draw a card" (see Snake Umbra). But, IMO, that should stay more in or (Ophidian and Ophidian Eye).
A tad expensive for my tastes, but any enchantment (aura) that can help prevent the 2 for 1 weakness inherent to that mechanic is worth a look to me. Still can't stop instant removal (in response of this being cast) which is where a lot of the 2 for 1 situations happen, sadly. A built in "split second" (while remaining counterable) to aura casting would do the card type wonders. Maybe choosing targets on resolution instead of cast. Who knows?

Art is weirdly done. The top third of the frame is essentially empty. Awkward to look at.

Some day, I WILL play this with an Ambush Viper. Yes, I know it's six mana including the regenerate cost.
But your reward is that you get to kill off an opponent's charging fatty without losing anything AND watch as they try to comprehend the appearance of a 3/2 with deathtouch and ": Regenerate" at instant speed. On THEIR turn. Able to attack on YOUR next turn. Their expression alone would be worth a lot more than six mana...
