Beneath the Grounds

Beneath the Grounds is an epic rogue spell card, from the Grand Tournament set.

Strategy
Best used in control decks, which are geared to long games, or trading as efficiently as possible without losing board control.

While on the surface it looks like a card for a mill deck, it's actually counterintuitive in practice because Ambush! does not activate if the card is milled from overdraw and only ends up extending the opponent's deck.

Can be used as a direct counter to Reno Jackson. The multiple copies of Ambush! will prevent Reno's Battlecry from activating until at least 2 are drawn or removed from the deck.

In many situations, this card compares unfavorably to Fal'dorei Strider, which has a similar effect.

Lore
This card references the subterranean nature of the nerubians. Besides the vast underground empire of itself, the nerubians are known to burrow to attack their enemies, as when the  and  arrived in  to battle the.
