About Elephant Ambush

Elephant Ambush, Instant, designed by Anthony S. Waters first released in May, 2020 in the set Odyssey and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

This card, Elephant Ambush, would be beneficial in a green-based midrange or token deck looking to generate board presence and value. While the ability to create a 3/3 Elephant token at instant speed can be useful for surprise blockers or attackers, the high flashback cost of {6}{G}{G} might make it less efficient compared to other options like Advent of the Wurm or March of the Multitudes, which offer more immediate impact or scalability. However, in a slower format where graveyard recursion is common, Elephant Ambush could find a niche role as a recurring threat and should see play in decks that can take advantage of its unique abilities.

Rules

03/19/21

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

03/19/21

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

“Flashback [cost]” means “You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack.”
