It costs 4 mana, and you have no control over when you draw/cast it.
you dont have to pay the mana for the spell if you draw it. It's free if done this way

Oh? Didn't you know? Yogg-Saron, Hope's End never dies, not even when he's moved to wild due to his new cult member and my newest favorite card Toki, Time Tinker!
I think you all are mis reading the spell portion of this the AMBUSH Says Spider Ambush and costs 4 mana it doesnt say that its free it says cast when drawn and draw a card / summon a 4/4 so your getting a 4 mana azure drake with no spell damage that you have to cast when you draw it. Not cast for free not play without paying the mana it seems to good to be true then it Might actually be too good to be true cause loosing 4 mana in a turn at random could be very very bad.
Read the test mana cost / text on spell portion of this card before evaluating it.
Please note the top left corner of this card. and the mana cost and it says cast when drawn....this sounds like hey spend 4 mana get a 4/4 and draw a card oh yeah you dont get to choose when you draw it it just happens.
I mean it has almost vanilla stats and the upside is insane : priest can not use kazakus, reduced hero power and in some cases the 4 4 might actually be relevant .
Also rogue has no good 4 drops so this definitely goes into current tempo rogue . Also good with bounce effects .

There is a big draw back to this based on the text unless someone from staff wants to clearify that that ambush doest cost you mana even though the card says it does. Loosing 4 mana out of your turn to cast a spider ambush on the wrong turn could be really really really bad in miracle rogue. Drawing it on a turn before turn 9 when you need to vile spine a big threat could very very easily cost you the game.
Thanks for clearifying this so then its accually pretty solid though it doesnt trigger auctioneer was also clearified. Which means the card is still good. It actually decient for tempo rogue as well because it slams a second body for you for free randomly.
Beneath the Grounds take 2 Will it be better when in your deck and with a body? Yeah prolly. Miracle getting more bodies is good and does the draw effect count as a spell? If so Arcane Giant likes.
I wouldn't say the card text is clear, it should say "when drawn, cast this for free". Ambush! does't mention casting anything and it costs 0 (and it's a rogue spell), so it is not consistent.

It's free obviously, no drawback at All
Yeah gathered that after saw the blue post on it that its cost is basically made to counter priest and thought steal or devour mind as putting it in the hands of a priest player makes it into a 4 mana card clumps up there hand a bit. Down side is that that 4 mana 4/4 draws them a card closer to anduin / raza.
I just wish Beneath the Grounds style of shuffling into your OPPONENT'S DECK was implemented with these past metas since its an incredibly BEAUTIFUL counter to Raza Priests
If you get this in your hand somehow (Thoughtsteal for example) they are castable spells that summon a 4/4. (Source)
When you draw an Ambush it doesn't cost any mana. They cast automatically for 0 mana. They don't trigger Auctioneer or Pyromancer when this happens. (Source)

This works really well in wild with mill rouge.
This card seems a little good .

Also rogue has no good 4 drops so this definitely goes into current tempo rogue . Also good with bounce effects .
EDIT: Didn't read well , MY BAD .
Ben Brode said "Let there be 4/4's" and the priests shuttered in fear

So far The new rogue cards looks so nice!
Amount of people lacking basic reading skills in this thread is astonishing.
Quest Rogue?
How Beneath the Grounds shouldve been more like; giving an initial body.
