You know, once in a while you got to have a look at this card and realise the ferocity it brings. The fear of having him in play can literally lock down anyone in play. Baneslayer Angel loves him on hersid but absolutely hates him when he's not.

although ajani vegent is pretty good once he gets going, and can help destroy planeswalkers, his last ability isnt likely to be used. by the time its your 5th turn having him out, your opponents can have some pretty tough creatures out, and ajani would be toast. his +1 ability of keeping permanents tapped helps at the begining of the game, but once a creature with vigilance is out... well, there goes that ability. If you get to use ajani's last ability, your opponent should be close to dead, but they have had time to get some pretty nasty creatures out. Ajani vegeant is good, but he requires a lot of protection for him to do much good. Personally, i think goldmane was better.

Ajani's a solid play; icy manipulator without an activation cost, lighting helix , and a near-game ender for the last ability... he's to dangerous to be ignored, at that the worst he will divert damage from you.

Kind of weird why he taps a permanent... Iit feels like it would fit better on a B/U guy, but planeswalkers if anything should break the color-pie mold.

I felt like being silly today and bought a Japanese booster. I opened up Ajani and could not have been more pleased. The only thing better than a cat wielding an axe is a cat wielding an axe in Japanese.

Also, @darkfury, Lightning Helix would like to have a word with you.

The problem with Ajani isn his effects, if not his loyati counters, if you play the second ability in the same turn it's pratically dead. On the other hand we have the firt abylity that certanly, is good al take out one dagerous thing for us, the second is very efective, and he can kill another Planeswalker, that is really cool, the third is broken, you do and win the game, of course he have the bad point, come into ply with 3 and need 7, that is really sad, but still be a good Planeswalker.

El probema con Ajani no son sus efectos, si no la dificultad para jugar con sus contadores de lealtad, si entra en juego y se usa si segunda abilidad esta practicamente muerto, pero claro con la 3 habilidad que es totalmente mortal se compensa un poco la balanza, lo malo en todo esto es que entra con 3 contadores y requiere 7, pero aun asi tiene lo suyo que lo hace un buen caminate.

Hello to everybody.

Saludos a todos.

I still have a huge beef with plainwalers as a card type. Having played since 1994, I was the plainswalker, and plainswalkers specifically did NOT get to be on cards. They represented players and nothing more. Since my reviews are all for casual, I wont have much to say positively for Ajani, His 3rd ability makes everyone hate and fear you. People attack what they hate and fear. Look for this to make you a bullseye for everyone else at the multiplayer table. If he didnt have ability 3, this card would be alot more fun.


also its funny that the word Substitute hits the censor here :P

This card would be perfect if it entered with 5 or atleast 4 counters... like this, he is a 4-mana lightning helix and probably dead on 2nd turn. If you can manage to play ulti tho, you are ought to win the game, but I think that with 3 counters, it's virtually impossible.

overall good, but not a shards cards, he only fits into naya shard and even then he lacks the shards flavor

one more loyalty counter, and the -2 ability, have target creature deal damage equal to its power to target player or creature, no life gain though to make it fair

What's the earliest his 3rd ability can be used? Turn 4? By turn 4 my opponents usually have out all the mana they need to play the what with all these mana accellerators. I can see some good uses for his first ability, but the 2nd one seems just a bit too pricey, if they would have offset it by raising his loyalty counter it might have been worth it.

Still... A nice card to have in a collection if for no other reason that to find someone that really really wants him and is willing to trade you the world for him.
