Red's Giant Growth is Brute Force, which is also better than this card in most cases.

First Strike is pretty evil. But alas, packing that evilness into an Instant that only lasts one turn makes it less evil and more 'annoying to use'. Still, it's only one Mana so why not?
Also, if the big lion guy wants to uncharacteristically advocate rage, I'm not going to be the one who tells him he can't.

Just because he's endorsing anger doesn't mean it isn't relevant as an Ajani Goldmane quote.

I've always taken it to be a "Use your anger, don't let it use you" kind of thing, whereas a younger Goldmane would have been more "Kill em all, let God sort em out"

Red doesn't buff its creatures big traditionally. Its main bread and butter combat tricks all involve First Strike and Double Strike.

For all the people who are arguing that Ajani shouldn't be saying this, I think the intended interpretation is that Ajani's using the enemy's anger against themselves.

Just my two cents.

Combat tricks are always nice. Fabulous with an Ambush Viper.

Not a bad little combat trick. Certainly not red's Giant Growth, but good enough in it's own right.

3.5/5.

And the quote is definitely an Ajani quote, but not one from his younger days. It is almost certainly from after his trip to Jund, where Sarkhan Vol taught him to harness his rage. Prior to this he was just plain white; after his training he took on his Vengeant persona during his revenge on Nicol Bolas over the death of his brother.

This is a pretty decent combat trick for Red.

About the flavor text, I’m sure the quote is supposed to be from Ajani’s younger, “vengeant” days. His name is Ajani Goldmane, so there’s no reason why they should credit it to “Ajani Vengeant.”
