Description
The Ambuscade Shaman is a three-mana uncommon creature from the 2015 Magic: The Gathering expansion Dragons of Tarkir, bearing card number 87. As a black Orc Shaman, this card brings immediate impact to the battlefield through its enter-the-battlefield trigger. When the Shaman or another creature you control enters play, that creature receives a temporary +2/+2 boost until the end of the turn. This effect allows players to swing for lethal damage or stabilize against aggressive opponents by enhancing their existing forces. Beyond its static ability, the card features the Dash mechanic, allowing it to be cast for {3}{B}. Casting it for this dash cost grants the creature haste, enabling it to attack immediately, but it is returned to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step. This creates a dynamic tactical choice for collectors and players who appreciate the strategic depth of temporary board presence. The card was illustrated by Anthony Palumbo and carries the DTK set code, marking its place within the vibrant art and design of the Tarkir block. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, owning a foil version of Ambuscade Shaman adds a premium finish to any collection. The shimmering foil treatment highlights the card's details and makes it a standout piece in a binder or display. Whether you are building a competitive deck or simply expanding your library of uncommon creatures, this card represents a solid addition to your Tarkir collection. It is a versatile tool that rewards creative playmaking and offers consistent value in various game scenarios.
