CommanderVolt Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Pulled on very first pack from fatpack xD Discuss this ajani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I made a thread for him when he was first shown off. To lazy to bump, but for the future, a quick look through would be wise if its a major card.Anyway, seems solid. Sadly, not having an ultimate is a very real issue since you getting 100 life is really meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well, in Standard, 100 Life is something that people are going to have trouble with. Sure, he is no win-con, but he is definitely helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well, in Standard, 100 Life is something that people are going to have trouble with. Sure, he is no win-con, but he is definitely helpful. Pulling out his ultimate IS a win condition in Standard, but the problem is actually making it happen. He's not a very good card in the current enviroment, but maybe post rotation he'll find a home. Potential is definitely there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it wastes time well, but it shouldn't give you the win unless there was actual pressure. They have a harder time dealing with Planeswalkers unless through damage, and in GW there is little damage that has trouble getting through. I agree that he isn't good in the current environment since there are so many ways that other cards interact better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hounds Of Anubis Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 It isn't really a win-condition against monsters. It just stalls. Sure, it wastes time well, but it shouldn't give you the win unless there was actual pressure. It IS a win condition against Monsters. If your Ajani had plussed 4/5 times, then you're way ahead and 100 life seals that. Anyone who thinks his ultimate doesn't win the game is simply wrong. It'd be a different story if his other abilities weren't both plusses, but they are so you can just naturally get to the ultimate to go over the top entirely to lock a game out.

Rodrigo Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Seems like it has found a cozy home. This deck is sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 for 5 mana, a planeswalker should win you the game, all ajani does is draw you cards. mediocre/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 for 5 mana, a planeswalker should win you the game, all ajani does is draw you cards. mediocre/10 You clearly don't know how to properly evaluate cards. Gideon Jura doesn't win you the game either and it's the only non-Batterskull 5 mana card that sees play in Modern aside from combo decks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Gideon comes with removal and a way to let your dudes through a clogged boardstate. He can also turn into a creature to get those last few points of damage. I'd say thats a game winning walker. Ajani is fine for this standard but overall his kit is pretty mediocre for 5 mana and 2 colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 The 2 colors aren't a problem IMO. But yes, Ajani is inferior to Gideon, but Gideon isn't what I'd call a game winning card like Sphinx's Revelation is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I've seen a Standard Naya Superfriends Deck. Ajani was the main instrument in getting Elspeth and Purphoros. So he's less Mentor of Heroes and more Tutor of Heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
