Possible New Ajani

Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

Posted on June 25, 2014, 12:55 a.m. by SevenSeasAgo

There's a new Ajani that has possibly been spoiled here.
+1 Target creature gets +1/+1, First Strike, and Lifelink until end of turn
-2 Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control and a loyalty counter on each planeswalker you control
-7 You get an emblem with if damage would be dealt to you or a planeswalker you control, prevent all but 1 of that damage
So what do you guys think?

i mean he looks powerful but doesnt look real i really doubt he would be 1/256 and they just gave us a unique ajani why give us another?

I like how his -2 is basically a Cathars' Crusade and a proliferate for walkers, making it basically a -1. And how his -7 is kind of an everlasting Angel's Grace for everything you control. And how his +1 is pretty powerful. And how he starts at 4 loyalty counters and costs 3W.

In other words, I dig it.

EmblemMan, MythicSpoiler does not dictate whether or not a card is real. They have been fooled before.

@GoldGhost012 it says all OTHER planeswalkers so it is still a -2

GoldGhost012 says... #10

Does it say that on MS? Cause it doesn't say that in the article the OP provided.

I think Bant Superfriends just got insane. Hopefully the new Nissa doesn't make tokens and the new Jace doesn't fit in. That deck is already crazy .

So for a limited time, there will be three different Ajanis in standard. That you can cast on turns 3, 4 and 5. Here's to hoping Mirror Gallery is reprinted.

Misfortune - Mirror Gallery doesn't prevent the Planeswalker Uniqueness rule, since it isn't the legendary rule.

Well that's disappointing. And I'm thinking of changing my name, because that card might become problematic.

beakedbard says... #18

He may not have anything to protect himself but the constant pseudo-proliferate is quite nice and the fact he only has one W in his casting cost makes him a lot more splash-able. Still I'm not sure if he'll make a massive impact on standard he does seem to be one of those win more cards. He'll definitely make a massive impact on EDH though.

I love how well he works with a few other PW's.... (any that have a difference of 3 between their starting Loyalty and their Ultimate)

Ajani in play...
Cast Chandra, Pyromaster .
Use Chandra's +1
Use Ajani to put Loyalty counter on Chandra
Next turn - Use Ajani to put Loyalty counter on Chandra
Ultimate Chandra - Cast a power spell 3 times.

Can do the same with a number of other relevant PW's.

It can even allow Garruk Wildspeaker and/or Elspeth Tirel use their ultimate the turn it is cast.

Or better yet... allow Garruk Relentless  Flip and Sarkhan the Mad increase their Loyalty.


List of Planeswalkers which Ajani can help to Ultimate the turn after they are cast (not including those that can do it themselves):

Jace, Memory Adept - Will be in Standard for a few months
Garruk, Primal Hunter
Garruk, Caller of Beasts - Will be in Standard for a few months
Elspeth, Sun's Champion - Will be in standard
Dack Fayden
Chandra, the Firebrand
Chandra, Pyromaster - Will be in Standard
Chandra Nalaar
Chandra Ablaze
Kiora, the Crashing Wave - Will be in standard
Koth of the Hammer
Liliana of the Dark Realms - Will be in Standard for a few months.
Liliana of the Veil
Liliana Vess - Will be in Standard
Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker
Ral Zarek
Sarkhan Vol
Sorin Markov
Sorin, Lord of Innistrad
Vraska the Unseen
Xenagos, The Reveler
The new Nissa - Will be in Standard
(Possibly the new Jace... not yet spoiled) - Will be in Standard

I love Mr. Goldmane, but I mean SERIOUSLY?! We just got Ajani, Mentor of Heroes just a couple months ago. Oh well... This Ajani looks considerably older and thinner, though.

This card is solid. Splashable and immediate applications in standard.
