@DACARDMAKER Let's say you have three Shock and one card with Finisher 2 in your hand. If you cast 2 Shock, you can cast a card with Finisher 2 without paying its mana cost. But if you cast that card, you can't cast another Shock in that turn.
It may be a bit late to say it, but there is a little issue in the wording of ambush. As it is, you can cast the creature post-declare blocker steps and flash it without blocking with it. The right wording would be: Ambush [cost] (You may cast this card for its ambush cost as though it had flash as long as a creature is attacking you and before blockers are declared. If you do, it blocks this turn if able.)
Reworded Ambush a bit: Ambush [cost] (Before blockers are declared, as long as a creature is attacking you, you may cast this card for its ambush cost as though it had flash. If you do, it blocks this turn if able.)
(It's probably *more* correct to say "You may cast this card for its ambush cost as though it had flash as long as a creature is attacking you, . If you do, it blocks this turn if able. Use this ability only before blockers are declared." but that was longer and didn't look quite as nice
The most popular keyword was Ambush. Many people were having fun to use it with deathtouch, and the most of them are very well balanced. And thanks to @milanaarz for rewording the mechanic! Also thanks to @Connor2001, @Mysterious_Gangsta, @touchstone for renaming "Ingest"! And as always, if you want my thoughts about your cards, please feel free to send me PM or reply to any of my disqus comment!
@Blazin_Biscuit I just remembered! I forgot to wait for your submission X( I'm so sorry, I forgot that theres a time difference. I'll look your cards right now!

(also technically my 100th card, though I wouldn't count at least 35 of them)
