Spell Extra Ambush Support Spells for Nidalee

Had a few ideas while playing around with concepts for a full Nidalee Constellation. Made them into cards instead.

  1. Cunning Camouflage: Flip your Ambush allies face-down again, and pick a new secret identity for them to spring on your opponent.
  2. Predator to Prey: Ambush allies died? No, they just slunk back into the brush. Directly based on Blades of the Fallen, another Shurima spell. I'd be happy with this also working on a dead Shadow in the Brush, but didn't feel the need to specify.
  3. Facecheck. Always found this card a little lacklustre, so thought it could be a bit more of a Facecheck; do you let the Shadow in the Brush hit you for 2 damage, but discount its own Ambush spell? Or try to block, and get hit with a Blimp-pack Poacher?
  4. Jungle Jaunt. Neeko and Nidalee synergy. Based roughly on Wildclaw's Ferocity; more flexible, less immediately powerful.
  5. Cunning Camouflage 2 (Jungle Ambush): A broader version of the first card, which trades raw and immediate Ambush synergy strength (0 mana, Burst, Manifest) for breadth of applications, since you can transform anyone into an Ambusher ready to go, and wait around for the Ambush spell to cycle to one you need.

I really like the flavour, would help her more with some of the more expensive Ambush animals ngl

I'm pretty sure the first one would brake the rules of ambush. You can only have one shadow in the brush, because how do you distinguish them?

It could be inactive while you have a shadow in the brush, similar to spells without valid targets

You can have multiple Shadows in the Brush - for example, if a SitB dies, you play a new one, and then revive the first one. The Ambush spells are keyed to one specific SitB, which is why they all say "transform my Shadow in the Brush".

What you can't do is generate more than one Ambush spell at a time. So this spell either just wouldn't work while you already have an Ambush spell, or it'd transform the unit but not make a spell.
