On constructed: This guy is absurd in white weenie and should always see play... Oh wait, we've still got friggin' Elspeth (even after the Scars rotation when we'll get her second Planeswalker card to replace the first. Though I guess we'll have to see). Seeing as Ajani's second ability is the only one that really gets used, Honor of the Pure is also a problematic competitor. So, despite this card's absurd power level, the days when it saw heavy play seem to be past. Unless, of course, people feel that more than four Crusades is a good thing.
On limited: First-pickable and anyone who doesn't pick this has some serious biases against White.

Might work well in my Tempered Steel deck. His +1 makes up the the Pyrexian Mana payments and -1 acts as another buff for my guys. The vigilance is an amazing bonus.

So is he or his Vengeant form gonna pwn Nickle Balls (Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker) in the next Duel Deck?

Life gain decks are awesome fun, and post-Lorwyn no life gain deck is complete without this guy. His +1 is mediocre, but he makes up for it with a very fun ultimate and an extremely useful -1. One of my favorite planeswalkers.

They better keep him in standard. I can't believe they didn't add him or Baneslayer Angel to the 2012 set. :(

To go against the crowd, i really like his first ability. I use this guy in edh and use the +1 ability to offset the life loss from cards like dark confidant and phyrexian arena. Hes actually one of the best life gain spells ever printed IMO, he gets you 7 life for four mana assuming he dies straight away- but hes ajani, so he goes unnoticed unless you use his second ability a lot!
