I can't imagine at this stage what would have brought Ajani here from Theros. Except that perhaps Ashiok is indeed an Aetherborn, and Ajani needs more information on their nature.

Twist words, maybe, stretch the truth, fine, but I can't picture the team flat out lying to anyone about that.
Blue card/Tezzeret's Ambition: When I first saw it, I honestly thought it sucked, but then I realized it is actually useful both in limited and constructed. It is a delirium enabler.
Pore Over the Pages is a lot better if you're looking for a 5-mana delirium enabler.
In limited, fine, but I'm super-down on blue so far... that said, we've only seen 4 commons, so there's room for improvement.
With all the servo thopter makers in limited, Twin bolt is a good card to have. Would have like to see it be a sorcery and be 3 damage but w/e.
I'd play it in Standard just vs Spirits. Doesn't hit Queller, but hits just about everything else - and it's got enough versatility to hit Tireless Tracker unlike some similar cards.

Not at 5 CMC it's not. If you care about delirium and you don't have by delerium by the time you have 5 mana something is seriously wrong with your deck.
Red card/Chandra's Pyrohelix: Twin Bolt with another name. Still, it is playable in limited at least, and likely in constructed as well, to deal with Thopters and Servos.
And spirits. I don't think Spirits is going anywhere.
Green card/Attune With Aether: Decent green basic land fetch that generates energy as a bonus. Art is also amazing, and it looks like Nissa is going to like Kaladesh in spite of all the artifice.
Yup! I'd play Attune with Aether in any long-game energy ramp. Not sure about aggro-energy (the kind with Voltaic Brawler) but maybe.

Besides Ajani's quarry is not with Ashiok (does he even know he exists?) but with Heliod and Erebos. He might have come to Kaladesh looking for a device that allows travel to Theros's Underworld bypassing the dead/undead restrictions.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.

I think the word you are looking for is "quarrel". But yes, I agree. Can't wait for them to explain why he's here.

Maybe he is after Tezz?
Trying to find Bolas to make some kinda of deal to help get Elspeth back? a trade of lives perhaps?
Ugh, Tezzeret's Ambition is pathetic..... The other commons at least can hold their grounds. And Ajani appearing NOW instead of later? Now I'm curious.
Oh man, that flavor text on Impeccable Timing is killing me. Oh, how we've missed you, Ajani.

Guess we get an inkling of how the next magic story or two turns out.
I'm really not getting why twin bolt needed a functional reprint
Probably they wanted to theme the spell after Chandra so they can put the quote about her mom on it, but Chandra specifically only uses fire magic and not lightning magic.

Fire also comes in bolts. Case in point, Firebolt. Very easily could have been a Twin Bolt reprint with Chandra flavor.

Well, what about tracking Nicol Bolas and realizing that his agent is active on Kaladesh? Is it really so difficult to imagine?

Research and Analysis are sorceries and AK requires a playset + drawing multiples. Ingenuity would be a superb draw-go card for Blue based control decks like Teachings that can fetch it. Draw 3 is nothing to sneeze at, last time we got a draw 3 spell it got banned.

Ajani straight up hates Bolas since the Elder Dragon had his brother murdered. Ajani is not going to make a deal with him.

Wow Ajani's Presence in this Block ? Does that mean hell get a Planeswalker Card in this Block ? Too bad Dovin Baan is 4 Mana. But maybe not all 4 Mana Planeswalker-slots for this Block are ocupied yet. Really pray hes 2GW with an abity to make Tokenz & another one to boost creatures sizes. & somewhere the usual lifegain ability.

? Pauper has Accumulated Knowledge, Compulsive Research, Deep Analysis, and Gush. I don't think Jace's Ingenuity with downside is making the cut.
