About Ambush

Ambush, Instant, designed by Alan Rabinowitz first released in Oct, 1995 in the set Homelands. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.63.

Ambush would be beneficial in a red aggressive deck that focuses on attacking quickly and efficiently. This card can give your blocking creatures an advantage by granting them first strike, allowing them to potentially take down attacking creatures before they can deal damage. While Ambush is a solid choice for such a deck, there are potentially better options like Sure Strike, which not only grants first strike but also gives a power boost to the creature. However, Ambush could still see play in specific strategies that rely on blocking effectively to maintain board control.
