Lore forum

So everybody knows Ajani really helps planeswalkers (the new card) but Garruks +1 destroys a planeswalkers so we may see a garruk Ajani battle

I figure that the next duel deck is going to feature two walkers (ya know, patterns), but I'm fairly certain that they're going to be something along the lines of Elspeth v Xenagos, or two other walkers from the Theros storyline. The core set walkers almost never get any action outside of their respective set.
However, I cannot vouch for shenanigans that happen in Duels of the Planeswalkers, so you might be right that there will be some sort of GvA conflict on there.

I don't think the next Duel Deck that's coming this fall will be Walker vs. Walker. I'm pretty sure there's a pattern to DDs: something new pertaining to the new set in the fall, and walker vs. walker in the spring.

No, the next duel deck is speed v cunning, which pertains to Tarkir. I was speaking of the walker v walker one that's set for after that.

From my understanding, core sets have never been related to lore. I could be mistaken though

notamardybum: M15 is the first core set that they're incorporating lore and the storyline, if I recall correctly.

Garruk would tear Ajani to pieces. However, Ajani is a healer on the physical and spiritual level, so he may be able to cure Garruk of the Veil's Curse. But Garruk is a much better fighter, and also Garruk could possibly outwit Ajani by exploiting his animal instincts.

That doesn't sound too far-fetched. I can see that happening in the future.
Also, I wouldn't be too sure about that outcome. Ajani beat Bolas, remember.

KrosanTusker I was about to mention that very fight except (if I remember correctly) he didn't actually beat Bolas he simply fought him to a draw by summoning Bolas's own essence against him. That being said my money would be on Ajani right now, Garruk is to out of control to focus on the fight.

Garruk goes first: 'I kill Ajani'
Ajani goes second: 'Err guess I'm dead"
Yeah not sure I side with Ajani in that particular contest.

I wouldn't say Garruk is out of control. His mind may have been twisted but that does not change his ability to "hunt" and fight. His mind is twisted so that target of his hunt is other planeswalkers. Im going to have to side with Garruk. He has more drive to win than Ajani and has the clear focus of killing his opponent, not just stalling or forcing them into submission.

Ajani beat Bolas with magic. Maybe since Garruk is already cursed by one of the most powerful (I think) artifacts in standard, he might be kind of immune to Ajanis shenanigans. I'd bet Garruk could beat Bolas as well, if he had too.

I strongly doubt anyone can truly beat Bolas, but that's another argument for another time. I do think Ajani will be the one to cure Garruk's curse, but whether it'll cost him his life is anyone's guess. It certainly would go along with the theme of walker sacrifice, but Ajani seems to be Magic's poster boy along with Jace so I doubt it. Then again anything is possible.

I would be more than happy if Jace cured Garruk, costing him his life. Then we would be rid of the plague that is Jace planeswalker cards. It would also drive more action on Ravnica.

Unless you play Legacy but don't play blue, I guess.

I doubt it. There's no Lore reason for Ajani to interact with Garruk. And I don't think they've interacted at all in the storyline. All we know about Garruk is that Jace is planning on checking in on him and Ajani is on Theros being really pissed at the Gods.
