Sage is pretty meh. Too much investment for too little return, but I suppose with extra turns it's either broken or meh.

Ask yourselves, all of you, what power would hell have if those imprisoned here could not dream of heaven?

And there's our obligatory money card planeswalker. From the way things are looking, he'll probably have to carry the value of the set by himself anyway. I suppose he fails the "provides his own defense" test, but he is in the colors most likely to have lots of beefy creatures out anyway and he'll fetch more of them if needed. On a sidenote, it's good that they finally completed the two-color planeswalker set.
The rest is just bad. Seriously, how many semi-vanilla creatures with bestow do we need?
P.S. Sage of Hours just makes me sad. Even if my deck was stacked with heroic enablers, I still wouldn't run it. Even if my deck also ran all the proliferate cards and graft cards ever, I still wouldn't run it. That's how bad it is.

Ajani is a wonderful Timmywalker. As others have said, I immediately want him for my Voltron EDH deck. I don't think he has a lot of Standard / Modern potential.
I know I'm going to be frustrated by the price tag on him, though. He'll be a casual favorite, driving up demand.
Ajani...to quote an internet video "Is this real life?". Wow! The implications of this card in EDH are obvious and I can't wait to use it with Doubling Season. I'm actually more interested in seeing it in some Junk Midrange or even just GW in Standard.
Draft Bestow is okay. Since I quit playing Limited during Shards block I have nothing more to say than that.

Sage of Hours is not a particularly good card at the moment.
Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
Except you might be playing Sylvan Caryatid which let's you throw him down turn 4...
Man as if PW EDH.dek didn't have enough to play with, this is an auto-include.
Was wondering when the mythic heroic guy was gonna come.

Ajani fits the planeswalker strategy of generating advantage. The Bant control decks popping up might take a quick look at it.
Sage of Hours is...interesting. Nothing really worth noting for T2 but for Block I can see this jumping in a blue heroic scheme.

Can we also all just agree that this set (and block) have given us some gorgeous artwork?

Just be glad that at least 1 of them is playable outside of Limited.

Sage of Hours looks really fun! I love me some Blue Human Wizards.
lol @ Gain 100 life. So simple and yet so win.
