About Ambition's Cost

Ambition's Cost, Sorcery, designed by Junko Taguchi first released in May, 1999 in the set Portal Three Kingdoms and was printed exactly in 20 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.61.

A deck that focuses on card advantage and doesn't mind losing a bit of life would benefit from using Ambition's Cost, such as a control or midrange deck looking to refill their hand. However, there are better cards like Night's Whisper or Sign in Blood that offer similar card draw at a lower life cost, making them more efficient options. Ambition's Cost could see play in budget or limited formats where better options may not be available, but in more competitive settings, it may not be the optimal choice.
