"Wait if he was following the constitution why did he not pay his taxes"
"That the Internal Revenue Service, in enforcing the income tax, seeks to impose a tax not authorized by the taxing clauses of the United States Constitution;"
You are not from America so I will just go ahead and let you know that the American government, despite what you may have read, is allowed to collect taxes. It is very clearly written that the government shall have the right to collect taxes. See article one section eight of the constitution: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States"
Go to Section 10: "No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken." Per Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust an income tax is a direct tax and was originally unconstitutional, but that's not relevant because Amendment 16 explicitly makes the income tax legal.
The tokens also show that either Eyes of the Wisent or Walker of the Grove are in--my bet's on Walker of the Grove, as Eyes of the Wisent doesn't seem like either a rare they'd reprint or a card they could bump down to uncommon.
I don't think it confirms that Bolas will be in M13, but it's pretty convincing. Although they've never done multicolor in core sets before, I could see them putting in just 1 for a big, splashy, flavorful card like this.
Green can probably ramp into Creeping Corrosion quickly enough to be relevant. Ratchet Bomb is a pretty serious threat, but once Ornithopter rotates out, popping it for 0 just isn't going to be profitable.
But I think that unless Innistrad brings something huge, Tempered Steel will be the deck to beat. There's a good reason everybody plays it in Block. Being able to easily play Dispatch is so sweet and Hero of Bladehold (not currently played in Standard Tempered Steel but an all-star in Block) just wins outright by itself. Also, the fact that Tectonic Edge makes the Inkmoth Nexus backup plan a real threat.
With the focus on gaining life and a bit of making tokens, I'm surprised Ajani's deck doesn't include Congregate. I know it's a very 'meh' sort of reprint, but it's definitely right for the theme.
I tied for first place with this deck at my store's NPH game day. It isn't really worth it for me to write up a full tournament report, as I was never matched up against a tier 1.5 or better deck. I played a lot of poison decks and a few odd combo decks, like a Lux Cannon proliferate deck and a Mindcrank/Bloodchief Ascension deck. Anyways, the list:
I tried to throw together a sideboard that could deal with most of the decks in the format. Between Journey to Nowhere, Divine Offering, and Celestial Purge the deck can handle almost anything. Ajani Goldmane is so useful against poison. Every game I drew him against a poison deck things just started to instantly go in my favor. I haven't played against Caw Blade ever but I think a very aggressive hand would beat them handily.

Yeah, not much of a spoiler if all we know is that there's a card that's a little like Dark Confidant and maybe Viscera Seer or Duskmantle Seer.

Exile target creature card from a graveyard, then put an X/X black Zombie creature token into play, where X is the exiled card's power.

I just like to turn guys sideways.
