I have a deck built around this guy, specifically for my friends annoying sap deck. I use Soul Warden and Congregate along with a few other cards that boost my hp. When were playing if the draw allows with the mass amounts of lings spawning I reach 100+ hp extremely fast. Useing my counters to survive and a few uncommons until I get my avatar, I just continually feed him. When I get my avatar he is ends up being a nuclear bomb, coupled with goldmanes 2nd ability, and creatures i have out already, now recently "trample" in my deck aswell, its pure destruction. I don't see why no one likes his last ability, if you really want to utilize this guy it requires the proper combos and setup. I can see how having that avatar out would be frightening with control issues on the battlefield, but I also have Pitfall Trap if hes taken over, and Order/Chaos. And if ALL fails, Insurrection . So with good counters, lif... (see all)

What's awesome is that the first ability will make the avatar continue to grow stronger :D
What would also be amazing is coupling Ajani with Elspeth's soldier-spawning ability. Elspeth makes a bunch of soldiers, Ajani uses his second ability to make them all stronger :D

Never owned one ever, but i'd love to pull off his ultimate twice and then swords to plowshares one of them.

The people saying that his ultimate ability doesn't win games just aren't thinking the right thoughts. Think one or two Rite of Replications in a Blue/White life gain deck (particularly hilarious when you also have a Baneslayer Angel or two out). Get the kickers going, and soon you've got a horde of potentially enormous frakking creatures. That said, while he may not be the best planeswalker, he certainly does have his extensive uses, whether he's in a mono white deck or a deck with just a splash of white.

One time I played his ultimate and then the next turn I played a Battlegrace Angel. I hadn't realized what was going to happen before-hand.

Have an Angelic Chorus out when you hit his ultimate. Run with green and Overrun or use Garruk Wildspeaker's Overrun-like ability. Win the game.

His ultimate is pretty mediocre. It has no trample or flying or haste or anything, which means it gets chump blocked all day, and if you're at low life it's useless. Yeah, you could use a kicked rite of replication, but a kicked rite of replication with ANYTHING is pretty much gg.
His +1 is crap, which makes it even harder to build to his ultimate because he's sitting around doing effectively nothing for several turns until he gets 6 loyalty. lol2 life.
However, his -1 is amazing, and whenever I play him, it's the only ability I use. It's a great way to pump your guys AND keep you safe. Don't underestimate vigilance. Or permanent +1/+1. It can even work with persist to get rid of -1/-1 counters. The only problem is keeping track of how many +1/+1 counters each of my creatures have.
