This is my first attempt at a Brawl deck, featuring Ajani, Valiant Protector (mostly because there were no Brawl decks for him that I could find, and he is actually pretty decent for an intro deck planeswalker). It's a fairly janky build around +1/+1 counters. Definitely open to suggestions to improve!
