Some legendary Human Samurai (name needed)

[Toad]

Considering Champions of Kamigawa takes place in an oriental world, I wanted to create some cards with a strong oriental flavour. I've always be admirative for the Chinese work, especially some Emperor tomb that is surrounded by hundreds of warriors statues. I'm sorry, I can't remember the name but that monument is really beautiful. The statues represent the spirit of the soldiers who died serving the Emperor, and I wanted to mirror that thing. This leads me to the following card :

~ Insert a cool name here ~
Legendary Creature - Human Samurai (R)
1WB
Whenever a non Wall creature would be put in your graveyard from play, instead put a "Destiny" counter on it. Each creature with a "Destiny" counter on it is a Wall in addition to its other creature types.
When ~this~ leaves play, remove all creatures with a "Destiny" counter from the game.

~ Insert a cool flavor text here ~

Basically, the dead creatures are turned into statues that keep serving their master. The card is black for ovbious reasons, and I want to make it white too to reflect the spirit of the chinese warriors that were said to keep fighting for their cause after their death. The "Destiny" creatures are removed as the spirit of the dead soldiers should vanish when the lord dies.

The first version was an Enchantment that afected both players, but I find it much cooler as a Creature.

If the spoilers I read are correct,  walls can now attack.  You need to say they are walls and gain the keyworded abiltiy, defender.

Yes, you are correct, that was released in the COK FAQ. Point is that I don't want to fill the text box with long wordings, especially for the first clause. The "Whenever a non Wall creature" is used to prevent the Destiny dudes to resurrect another time and I found that a "Whenever a creature with no Destiny counter would...." was too lengthy

What about :

Whenever a creature with no "Destiny" counter would be put in your graveyard from play, instead put a "Destiny" counter on it. Each creatures with a "Destiny" counter on it gains Defender.
When ~this~ leaves play, remove all creatures with a "Destiny" counter from the game.

Is this ability supposed to affect the samurai himself?

Good comment. Wording edited.

the tombthat you are reffering to is the terricotta (spelling?) warriors of xian, which I have actually visited. The scope of the tomb is quite extensive, and all of the clay warriors are crafted uniquely, each with their own faces and positions. The amount of merchandise they try to throw at you there is ridiculous though.
