Was not expecting him! Very very flavorful... Altho, I had this thought that he's a multicolor character (had to fit in the mono color theme I guess ).

Just in case you didn't have enough options for mono-white Cat tribal, here's another.
In all seriousness though, this guy doesn't actually allude much to tribal aside from his subtype. He gives white some real bite in token swarm strategies. He's good.
Confirms Ajani as the white PW/commander for the deck?
Not in the least. If you read the C14 article from Friday on Dailymtg ("A Love Letter to Vorthos"), they mentioned that design came up with a planeswalker that had abilities roughly like what Ajani could do, but then the decision was made to use old characters that have not been represented yet. Popular theories for the white PW commander include Serra and Nahiri. It will definitely not be Ajani, Elspeth, Gideon, or any other character who already has a PW card.
I somehow find it tragic when an attacking Traveling Philosopher gets blocked by another Traveling Philosopher, which normally results in two dead philosophers. Shouldn't they just sit aside and start discussing?
"This is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I'm quite dizzy with anticipation . . . Or is it the wind? There really is a lot of that now, isn't there? And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming toward me very fast? Very, very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide-sounding name like . . . ow . . . ound . . . round . . . ground! That's it! That's a good name- ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me? Hello Ground!"
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the Sprouting Phytohydra as it fell was Oh no, not again.
Even without the activated ability, he's a 4/4 First Striker for 2WW, which isn't too shabby. But that ability...that ability that can be activated multiple times per turn if you have the mana. That is bloody terrifying in a token deck. (So...there's definitely going to be at least a subtheme of tokens in the white deck with Jazal as a possible commander. White Sun's Zenith, maybe?)

I can also say I wasn't expecting him, but as soon as he was spoiled I could only think "Huh... that totally makes sense. Why didn't I think of that?".
Ajani's famous mary-sue of a brother. He's pretty dope.
"As our king he is the source of my courage, as our brother he is the one who personifies my (something)" -Ajani
I can't make out the kanji in that one word, sorry, but that's the gist of it.
Thanks
This makes sense, just read the comics and this sentence is something you would expect from Ajani about his brother. Also, perfect with the ability
ps: maybe the last word is strength or something like it

Well after staring at it for a bit and searching for some similar looking kanji I think it might be 願望(ganbou) or desire. Not entirely sure but it would make sense.
Okay now that I'm pretty sure that is the word I would translate it as "As my king he is the source of my courage, as my brother he is the one who embodies my aspirations"
I changed the ours to mys because it feels a little more natural, but 我が gives of more of a our vibe to me. It could go either way but we'll just have to wait and see how close I was to the actual English text.
I had to be a downer, but am I the only one disappointed?
This is pretty boring , we have a ton of mono white generals that are good with token aggro strategies (Darien, King of Kjeldor, Kemba, Kha Regent, etc). You can use the ability multiple times, but let's be honest, Jazal Goldmane is no Ezuri, Renegade Leader. We're talking about an ability that costs 5 to use in a color that has arguably the worst ramping in the color pie.
Yeah, he's a 4/4 for CMC 4, with first strike, but he has no evasion, this seems like a waste of a mythic. The flavor is awesome, but as a card, I have no desire to use this card as a general, or even in my 99.

EDIT: Whoa, that's insane if it's right. He's already got a reasonable body to start out with, and then he has that for an ability.

But, can someone please translate the flavor text?
Flavor-wise, an interesting choice. Can't wait to see more.
