Official rulings
Four official rulings apply to Salt Road Ambushers, newest first.
- If a face-down creature with megamorph is turned face up some other way (for example, if you manifest a card with megamorph and then pay its mana cost to turn it face up), you won't put a +1/+1 counter on it.
- Turning a face-down creature with megamorph face up and putting a +1/+1 counter on it is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
- Megamorph is a variant of the morph ability. You can find more information on morph on cards with morph from the Khans of Tarkir set.
- The face-down permanent must be a creature both before it's turned face up and when the triggered ability resolves to have +1/+1 counters placed on it.
