About Horde Ambusher

Horde Ambusher, Creature — human berserker, designed by Tyler Jacobson first released in Sep, 2014 in the set Khans of Tarkir. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 6.11.

This Horde Ambusher card could be beneficial in a red aggressive deck that aims to apply pressure on the opponent quickly. Its ability to prevent a target creature from blocking can be strategically useful in clearing a path for your other creatures to attack. However, due to the drawback of dealing damage to you when it blocks, it may not be as efficient as other options like Zurgo Bellstriker or Goblin Guide, which offer similar aggressive abilities without the downside, making them potentially better choices for competitive play.

Rules

09/20/14

At any time, you can look at a face-down spell or permanent you control. You can’t look at face-down spells or permanents you don’t control unless an effect instructs you to do so.

09/20/14

Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it’s turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn’t cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.

09/20/14

If a face-down permanent leaves the battlefield, you must reveal it. You must also reveal all face-down spells and permanents you control if you leave the game or if the game ends.

09/20/14

Morph lets you cast a card face down by paying , and lets you turn the face-down permanent face up any time you have priority by paying its morph cost.

09/20/14

Turning Horde Ambusher face up after blockers have been declared won’t remove any creature from combat or change how any creature is blocking.

09/20/14

When the spell resolves, it enters the battlefield as a 2/2 creature with no name, mana cost, creature types, or abilities. It’s colorless and has a converted mana cost of 0. Other effects that apply to the creature can still grant it any of these characteristics.
