July 12, 2019 — Nightpack Ambusher looks at the entire turn to see if you have cast a spell, even if Nightpack Ambusher wasn’t on the battlefield when that spell was cast. Notably, you won’t get a Wolf token during your end step if you cast Nightpack Ambusher during your turn.
July 12, 2019 — If you cast a spell that was countered, Nightpack Ambusher’s last ability doesn’t trigger.
