Answer

No, Rengar, Trophy Hunter cannot use Ambush to be played to your base.

According to the rules and FAQs regarding Ambush:

  1. Ambush Restrictions: The Ambush keyword (Rule 822.1.b) specifically grants permission to play a unit to a battlefield where you control units.
  2. Rengar's Unique Permission: Rengar, Trophy Hunter's card text provides a specific, additional permission: "I can [Ambush] to a battlefield where there are enemy units, even if you don't have units there."
  3. Base is not a Battlefield: Neither the standard Ambush keyword nor Rengar's specific text grants permission to play him to a base using reaction timing. As clarified in RiftJudge FAQ #10089, Ambush only adds valid battlefield locations for reaction-speed play.

If you wish to play Rengar, Trophy Hunter to your base, you must do so during your Main Phase when the game state is Open, using standard [Action] timing.
