Official Rulings (5)
If Ambuscade Shaman enters the battlefield at the same time as other creatures you control, its ability will trigger for each of those creatures.
If you pay the dash cost to cast a creature spell, that card will be returned to its ownerβs hand only if itβs still on the battlefield when its triggered ability resolves. If it dies or goes to another zone before then, it will stay where it is.
If a creature enters the battlefield as a copy of or becomes a copy of a creature whose dash cost was paid, the copy wonβt have haste and wonβt be returned to its ownerβs hand.
You donβt have to attack with the creature with dash unless another ability says you do.
If you choose to pay the dash cost rather than the mana cost, youβre still casting the spell. It goes on the stack and can be responded to and countered. You can cast a creature spell for its dash cost only when you otherwise could cast that creature spell. Most of the time, this means during your main phase when the stack is empty.
