@Ferlord: I disagree on several counts.
1) Non-creature artifacts DO have summoning sickness if they are made creatures. If the artifact has not been in play for at least a turn, you can't make it a creature and attack with it.
2) I think you're underestimating the power of a free Lightning Helix every turn. There's a reason Lightning Bolt is one of the highest-rated and most feared spells in magic. Sure a sorcery-speed lightning bolt is a lot weaker but in Boros aggro decks, that 3 damage will go a long way. Plus the free 3 life (although not particularly useful in an aggro deck) could be useful for staying alive.
3) The ultimate ends any single-player game. If you proliferate that ultimate, that alone is a win condition. I often use Tezzeret's Gambit and other proliferates alongside it. It's pretty much the most powerful ultimate.
4) The +1 ability while situational could stop your opponents attacking Ajani long enough for Ajani to ultimate. Plus if you have no ... (see all)

Nope. He just makes it not untap.
This guy is strong because you can mana screw you opponent or keep their strongest creature at bay. If they have a problem utility creature or even planeswalker, you can shoot it with his -2.
A balanced, but good planeswalker.
5/5

I like how Ajani's and Bolas' cards' art face each other. Like they're having a rap battle.
@DeathParrallax: Urza's dead. Plus his card would be
"+1: Win the game.
-1:Destroy target continent.
-X: Commit X unspeakable acts of evil in the name of destroying Phyrexia."

Wow the alternate planeswalker art for him and Bolas are fantastic.
And it's nice to see Ajani Vengeant get another printing, and some respect. I've always been partial to him and his roguish enemy-color ways. Hopefully with Innistrad's enemy-color dual lands and Kiora Atua and Ral Zarek out there (plus possibly Innistrad's Garruk), we'll see more 'walkers like him soon.
(Edit)
And within literally minutes of posting that, Garruk Relentless gets spoilered. Although he's not really enemy colored if you're talking casting cost, his flipped form is G/B.

@kimjong7hrill: Priviledged Position won't save your lands from this card. Ajani's ultimate doesn't target any lands, and Priviledged Position doesn't stop you from being targeted, so Ajani will destroy your lands.

I just realized that every single planeswalker from Alara had been reprinted
