Planeswalker - Ajani
+2: Reveal the top three cards of your library. Put each nonland permanent card revealed this way into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
-2: Exile target creature. Its controller gains life equal to its power.
-9: Put 5 +1/+1 counters on each creature you control and 5 loyalty counters on each other planeswalker you control.
4 Loyalty
Thoughts on how this will affect Standard?
I think it might cause Bant control to make a resurgence, perhaps utilizing the flash-permanents of UW control alongside more planeswalkers.
It also naturally survives its ultimate unlike most other walkers in the set, though his ult does take awhile.
I have had alot of success with ajani. In midrange-y matchups he is back breaking. I put him in GW tokens as a curve topper and have not been disappointed. Without smuggler's copter and emrakul to punish him he lets you leverage boardstalls into landslide victories. His +2 is especially good right now because Stasis Snare is some of the best removal in standard so you can build the deck to maximize hits without trading off too much in terms of deckbuilding options. My current list is as follows
Oath of ajani, and Rishkar haven't impressed me yet, but Walking Ballista has been stellar. I figured I'd give it a try, thinking it wouldn't be very impressive, but actually it's been fantastic. Unlike hangarback it doesn't fold to exile effects and it can make combat a nightmare for your opponent.
