+1/+1 counters
Standard forum

So a new set is about to come out in standard and as most of you know the oldest set rotates out. So that makes a problem for me, I use Ajani, Mentor of Heroes as one of my main ways of adding counters to my creatures, and he is going to rotate out. Does anyone know a good card to replace Ajani, Mentor of Heroes power to add counters with low cost to mana.
Well I've been told wrong but it's still the same problem, he is next to the chopping block. I would like to have a plan ready for when that happens.P.S. Apologies for the mistake I'm still kinda new to magic.

Ajani isn't going to rotate out until Return to Zendikar hits in October.

We now encounter one of the other issues with post-rotation viability: You may be losing more than just one card. Rotation often means that the meta shifts and entire decks become obsolete. If you're not playing Tier 1 or Tier 2 decks, and instead you're playing a homebrew list to which you're committed, then it's less of an issue. But some strategies stop being viable at rotation because they lose the cards that support them or because the new meta is not conducive to their use.

Citadel Siege doesn't give 3 counters, but it's 4 cmc and doesn't get hit by most removal.

Nothing is rotating...
Standard currently rotates only once per year. It has never, in my memory, rotated with each set.
