Gameplay

Creature — Cat Warrior

Reach If a creature is attacking you and you control a Forest and a Plains, you may cast this creature without paying its mana cost and as though it had flash.

The surprise of a battle cry can be as deadly as a blade.

If you’re playing a Two-Headed Giant game and a creature is attacking your teammate, you won’t be able to cast Qasali Ambusher this way.

2008-10-01wotc

Qasali Ambusher’s second ability is looking for lands with the subtypes Forest and Plains. Those lands don’t need to be named Forest and Plains. It’s okay if both subtypes are from the same land (such as Savannah or Temple Garden).

2008-10-01wotc

If you want to cast Qasali Ambusher by using its second ability, you don’t necessarily have to do it during the declare attackers step. You can do it later in combat (including all the way up through the end of combat step) as long as there’s still a creature attacking you. Of course, if you cast Qasali Ambusher later than the declare attackers step, it won’t be able to block.
