The New Ajani

Lore forum

Posted on June 25, 2014, 10:29 p.m. by Octrate

It seems Ajani has been deeply affected by Elspeth's death in his new rendition. Aside from the fact that all of his abilities have something to do with protecting you and your Planeswalkers, there's a little something extra in the art.

Nice cape, huh?

SWEEEEEEEET.

Everyone was getting their panties in a bunch because they said that we had so many Ajani's in the past year, there was no reason to have another one in the course that. Well, now you see why

Ajani's just a collector of important-to-him dead people's stuff. His brother's axe, Elspeth's cape...

So in his grief he's taken up wearing womens clothing?

On a more serious note...Ajani's awesome. That is so white of him....

I like the fact that the art continues the lore. I don't how I would feel if they reversed their fates (Ajani dead, Elspeth replaces), though. That's cool easter egg level art.

Reprint Ajani Vengeant so he can tear poop up in Return to Theros!

Ajani has got to be one of the coolest guys in the lore. Dude just keeps living through terrible crap and still keeps coming back to seek revenge. I feel sort of bad for him though...

He's like Elspeth, only... He lives.

Too soon?

GoldGhost012 says... #13

... And meow Spooty's a cat.

Is anyone else concerned?

June 25, 2014 11:08 p.m.

Osang says... #14

I like cats. No concern here.

June 25, 2014 11:11 p.m.

Spootyone says... #15

Dude, being a cat would kick ass. I could just lay around and do nothing all day except be enjoyed for what I bring to the internet...

...wait a minute...

Not "enjoyed" Spooty. The proper word is "worshipped."

Osang says... #17

Either I got what Spooty was saying or maybe my mind is just too corrupted to think he meant something else.

Elspeth is so awesome...I'm glad Ajani is giving her a shout-out. He's a cool kitty.

Osang: lol

We're going to have 3 Standard legal Ajanis for a bit when M15 comes out. Lol

June 26, 2014 noon

Ruric says... #21

JakeHarlow IMO having 3 std legal Ajani's dont like it despite how good are the cards, there are many other planeswalkers that could have bring or even make a new one....

in the other hand i have got very impressed with this Ajani's art is just awesome!

also IMO his abilities like em more then Ajani, Mentor of Heroes at least his ult is better/cooler than just gaining 100 life...

Ruric - I know this is lore forum, but I need to tell u guys this: Ajani, Mentor of Heroes ultimate was designed in a conspiracy. The secret combo where the true Magic lives is: Ultimate Mentor, Drop The Chain Veil and Steadfast, ulti steadfast.

Suddenly, all makes sense.

July 2, 2014 7:47 p.m.

Anyone else notice the lack of "You get an emblem with" on that ultimate?

GoldGhost012 says... #24

UmbrotheUmbreon: That was the original translation mock-up; apparently there wasn't enough space or the emblem part never got translated.
