About Crossbow Ambush

Crossbow Ambush, Instant, designed by Kev Walker first released in Mar, 1998 in the set Stronghold.

This card, Crossbow Ambush, would be beneficial in a green deck that focuses on creature-heavy strategies and needs a way to defend against flying creatures. While it provides a temporary solution with reach, there are potentially better cards like Plummet or Clip Wings that offer more permanent removal options for flying threats. Whether Crossbow Ambush sees play would depend on the specific meta and deck strategy, but it could be a situational inclusion for decks that require a quick and temporary defense against flying creatures.

Rules

01/04/08

This card now uses the Reach keyword ability to enable the blocking of flying creatures. This works because a creature with flying can only be blocked by creatures with flying or reach.
