    This does nothing. Haste is specifically when the ally is summoned, and summoned is specifically hand to board. If you want an ally to be able to attack upon returning from the graveyard, the keyword you need is "readied."

    Yes, I miss those days when portal works with gravebone's ability. Now I have changed it a little, haste could be useful for everybody else too.

    I think a hasted 3/5 with a negligible drawback and a strong positive effect might be a little overpowered... For reference, Lightning Hunter is a hasted 3/4 for 4cc with 2 pretty big drawbacks, he makes you lose 1 shadow energy and all your support abilities.

    hmm..what about 3/4 and 2 damage now...Compare to other 5cc allies, this seems to be relatively fair? I mean as a 5cc u can get BP, Raven, Erika.

    Others might not use it to full potential, and GB lacks of healing power.

    I think this sounds better. Its power would be comparable to Wild Berserker, which is a well balanced card. Of course this would have to be determined by playtesting, but I like the idea

    With the readied description, it seems like he will be immune to Braxnorian soldier effect.

    I like it like this except for the braxnorian part.

    Other balance possibilities could be :
    Instead of it being readied "When Death ronin enters play from a graveyard, he does 3 damage to opposing players"
    This way he doesn't affect board as much and can be souped up to 3/5

    Or

    "When Death ronin enters play from a graveyard, if you have another Death ronin in the graveyard, he is readied and gains +1 health"

    That would make for some interesting choices for the opponent (to kill or leave it alone and race)

    I have never actually played a Braxnorian Soldier, but why would this Ronin be immune to Braxnorian effect?

    If I'm not mistaken, Ronin will still lose his haste, but Ronin can attack Braxnorian, due to having 4 hp.

    I think the reason to nerf it down to 3/4 was the haste, not the readied effect from graveyard. If Ronin is 3/5 he'd be a little OP with haste.

    Also the idea is this Ronin can come to haunt you instantly from hand or graveyard like a zombie or assassin so readied would make more sense since he is not a mage, he can't cast spell to deal damage. Readied is more like haste, so practically they mean the same ability.

    Take 3 damage seems to be a buff rather than a nerf too, imagine it ignores rain delay, weapon-base hero etc

    This is actually quite interesting, I like it, but it's too situational for it to happen, esp only a GB with 4 SE can return him.
