Mukotai Ambusher⁣ - Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty: Extras⁣ (Common)⁣ [342]

Mukotai Ambusher is a 3/2 Rat Ninja that costs {3}{B} to cast. Its Ninjutsu ability allows you to return an unblocked attacking creature you control back to your hand for just {1}{B}, letting you put Mukotai Ambusher onto the battlefield tapped and attacking instead. This can be a sneaky way to deal damage while also gaining lifelink, which means you'll gain life equal to the damage it deals. You'd want to play Mukotai Ambusher in decks that focus on aggressive, evasive strategies, particularly if you can consistently get creatures through unblocked. However, it requires you to have an unblocked attacker to activate its Ninjutsu, which may not always be the case, and being a 3/2 means it can be easily removed by most removal spells if it’s not attacking.
