He can be a lightning helix in a pinch, but mostly he quietly shuts down your opponent's best permanent and draws hate off of you. People playing against him for the first time underestimate this Ajani, while the experienced players know that he needs to die immediately.

Did anyone notice he is the only 2-color planeswalker with enemy colors?

@ Kurhan, in response to darkfury:
Lightning Bolt + Healing Salve? Maybe.
What you really have here is Lightning Helix. One two-mana ({R}{W}) card for the price of 2 loyalty counters.
That's my kind of Planeswalker.

I hate him for the simple reason that his ultimate isn't fun. It would secure an incredible advantage, yes, but so would physically and literally beating my opponent, but neither i want to do in a GAME.

I remember watching a game of 5 color control decks against each other. Take Charles Gindy v. Adam Yurchick in '09. Draw-go for a ridiculous amount of turns, building up lands, casting this guy and slowly but surely building him up, tapping lands and flashing Plumeveils for quick and reliable defense, continuous Cryptic Command on Broken Ambition on more Cryptic Commands, all to activate a single land destruction ability. And when that ability hit, lord have mercy, because that ability hit.
Nowadays, control that slow isn't much of a threat to all the ridiculously fast decks out there that kill before Ajani can even come out. I kinda miss it.
