A deck that focuses on card advantage and doesn't mind losing some life would benefit from using Ambition's Cost, such as a control deck looking to draw into answers or combo pieces. However, there are better alternatives like Night's Whisper or Sign in Blood that provide card draw without the life loss, making them more efficient choices in most situations. Ambition's Cost could see play in specific strategies that can leverage the life loss for some benefit, but in general, there are more optimal options available.
