Crowning moment of a 5 match Duel Deck off with me and a bud? Swinging into a helpless Ajani Vengeat who was at 7 counters with Jhessian Zombies.
There was nothing he could do. My lands remained intact. And that's why its so tempting not to landcycle the bastards.

@Kim Yes, it would be destroyed...hexproof doesn't matter, the lands aren't being targeted, it's a field effect. However, Terra Eternal would protect those lands, if they're indestructible, then destroying them won't work.

Balefire liege turns into planeswalker liege gets a better rarity and a nerf. Fantastic.

I'm relatively new to Magic and I have a question. If my friend plays Ajani Vengeant's ability to destroy all my lands and if I have Privileged Position out, would my Privileged Position's ability protect my lands?

To those who are saying that Ajani beats Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker any day:
1: Planeswalkers, on average, don't activate their ultimates. Comparing planeswalkers by comparing ultimates is a bad way to compare them. Jace the Mind Sculptor isn't amazing because his ultimate wins you the game. He's amazing because of all the advantage he generates while he's out. I'll take destroying permanents over keeping them tapped down any day.
2: Nicol gets his ultimate on his third turn out. Ajani gets his on his fifth.
3: Nicol's first ability outright gets rid of Ajani AND adds loyalty.
Ajani is land removal a long time from now. Nicol is anything but creature removal NOW.
Nicol>Ajani

This guy over Nicol Bolas any day. U can get Ajani out on turn 3 or 4 and Nicol on 7 or 8. By then the other guy's lands r destroyed and u can't cast Nicol.

RunedServitor puts my only feelings pretty clear. I've never played him in 1-1 standard, and I hear he shines there, but as a card as a whole, he seems pretty crappy. His first ability is, well, okay, although extremely out-of-color, and easy to work around - you're not really slowing them down by a turn, when it took you one to play him; you break even. His -2 ability just costs too much loyalty, compared to Sorin's +2 which does the same thing, with only one point less on both sides. His Ultimate does basically say "Target player loses", but it kinda seems like a cheesy cop-out, and pretty out-of-flavor too - white only gets equal-opportunity land destruction, and the same is true of red, although it gets targeted land destruction as well. I really don't get where they got that ability from, or how it's supposed to make sense.

Note: for those "TL;DR" people, just read the bottom lines.
In all truth, I don't really like this Ajani as much as almost all of the other planeswalkers. He doesn't have the same memorability as others, because I can't see many people using him in large games like EDH or Two-Headed Giant.
His +1 is deceiving, because "Target thing doesn't become untapped until who-knows-when" are usually at instant speed. You have to make sure that when you use this, you're either using it on a tapped permanent, or just to get to the one-sided Armageddon/more Lightning Helix's.
Although Lightning Helix is a great spell, It doesn't have the weight and magnitude as some others. I'd rather compare his middle negative ability to other similarly-costed 'walkers. Here's some that are technically better:
Koth of the Hammer: Add 
= your mountains. Turn 4, that gives you back the investment while keeping Koth alive. Lat... (see all)
