His good buddy Mufasa taught him about the circle of life...

I love looking at the cat cards for all the Lion King jokes I find.

I still argue his +1 should have been increased to three life, and his ultimate should have given the creature shroud. It can still be chump blocked, but at least its harder to deal with.

Just use him with Trostani double your life every time you populate

@CthuvianAce
Better than that — read both cards again. All you need is a life total of 9 before the Aria's effects kick in. This is how it works. (minimum p/t of avatar also shown)
1) Activate Ajani's -6 when you're at no less than 9 life with the Aria out. 9/9
2) Wait until your next turn as long as your life stays at 9 or above. 9/9
3) On your upkeep, the avatar token gets a +1/+1 counter. 10/10
4) Now you have a 10 power creature, so you gain 10 life. The avatar gains power accordingly due to how its ability is worded. 20/20
5) You win.

would essence backlash work against Ajani's Ultimate? because that is an auto win...

@FaceClaimer - No, Essence Backlash only counters spells and the token that is created from this card is done so through an ability and not a spell. However, you might want to check out Essence Backlash's namesake, Backlash. (Also see: Delirium)
In my playgroup Backlash and Delerium are both very common spells, so when someone wants to play this or Serra Avatar or some other ridiculously large creature they always need to check which players are using black and red and think hard about that decision, otherwise they can end up dead very, very quickly.
As for Ajani, as others have said the middle ability is the main attraction here. I have always overlooked this guy in the past because the other two abilities are kind of underwhelming to me, but now that I'm sitting here giving him some real thought that low costed middle ability and 4 starting loyalty are starting to look pretty attractive. Too bad I ... (see all)

Ajani Goldmane, Rhox Faithmender, and Wall of Reverence
That is all.

A very underrated Planeswalker. The -1 ability is crazy good. I rename him "Ajani 'Kill me or suffer' Goldmane."

Ajani's Ultimate + Soul's Grace imprinted on Isochron Scepter = Lotsoflotsoflife.
