I mean, depending on time frame Ajani may not be free. It’s not like he’s only got Theros on his mind after all.

I do like how clear the story seems to be even without a dedicated story post.
Wasn't he last seen drinking tea with Pia Nalaar in Kaladesh? On the discontinued Chandra comic book?

A 2 mana 2/3 is not good enough for standard.
Right, I have never seen someone cast a Gifted Aetherborn or a Sylvan Advocate ...

Both of those have excellent abilities. They’re not vanilla 2/3 creatures for 2 cmc.
This is still at the very least a sideboard option for Fires of Invention decks that dodges a considerable amount of 1 and 2 mana removal and ensures it hits the battlefield.

Treacherous Blessing and Demonic Pact are probably the silliest.

Countering a fetchland on the play sounds nasty

Shielded by faith + Anax

Shielded By Faith works with Siona, Captain of the Pyleas. Anax works with Gift of Immortality

It wouldn't break it to just have the first mode do direct damage, but it is still a flexible spell.

I find it fun that this card could basically get shifted too BW by changing just minor things, both mechanically and flavorfully
A very Golgari Death Swarm type of situation.

I agree that we can agree to disagree, but I want to say one more time (for others reading along) that discard != removal. With removal they have to invest mana and/or a turn into playing the card. With discard they don't. They aren't the same thing. If you pay 6 mana to drop a creature and I Path it, I'm up 5 mana and most likely a turn you spent casting that card. If I Thoughtseize that 6 drop, you're down a card.

That much is true, and there is also the risk of topdecking Seize later in the game. The interaction with Teferi, Time Raveler is just dirty though. With a better Esper mana base that might become an issue.

Lucky Clover found another useful target. Won't use that activated ability, though--too many ways which are less costly to put the creature back into your hand.
You don't use that ability to return her to your hand, you use it to put those two cards into your graveyard to fuel some shenanigans

Quote from BlackWaltz3 »
Card is bad. Having a wrath adventure mode is excellent but the creature is unplayable level bad. Do people just run this for the wrath and not cast the creature unless desperate?
The value of a 7/7 beatstick is way higher on an empty board.

Quote from BlackWaltz3 »
She's a pretty obvious plant for Theros, but in a vacuum she kind of sucks. She's a sizable downgrade from Benalish Marshal (pun absolutely not intended).
Good thing there isn't anything in standard right now that can spit out Ajani's Pridemates...

Adventures only exist while on hand, and they have no creature type, so no.

There's certainly no lifegain as a strategy in Modern, but as a burn player I can tell you that even inciental lifegain can really set us back - Thragtusk in Tron, Obstinate Baloth, Timely Reinforcements in UW Control, thopter foundry lifegain in Whirza... These are the things that tempo out burn and make us lose. Skullcrack is essential in some of those matchups.
Or, you know, Batterskull from practically every deck right now...
