Ajani Goldmane

Now that's a spicy meatball!

Best planewalker in a life gain deck, I'm usually up to 40 life in 3 turns playing mine, Serra Ascendants then you pull out a avatar token thats a 40/40? Ummm...Good fight?

perfect combo get ajani to 7 loyalty do his minus 6 effect put out the avatar equip with lifelink and celestial mantle and whispersilk cloak then have wall of reverence out n there you go pure dominance

...try to put 4 of this in your white wheenie deck w/ 2 wall of reverence and 4 honor of the pure.... hehehe... i wonder how your opponent react about that....

My friend just got one today. In a four way game several of us made the mistake of not killing it. That nice beefy avatar came out and with the assistance of Wall of Reverance, my friend had 422 life before we finally killed the 422/422 creature. Guh.

Ajani may not seem that great to some people, but imagine his abilities being used in a life-drain deck. Every turn you either boost up your life count, or you pump up your lifelink creatures with +1/+1 counters AND vigilance, and gain an incredible amount of life each turn so you can still block. Finally, by the time you get him up to enough to use his final ability, you will have an incredible amount of life and a devastating new creature. This planeswalker kicks major A**

Like all of planewalker with doublig season is awesome, just amazing.Add ring of brigtheart and play ajani whit a ring of brigtheart and doubling and u got 4 token avatar. Also for more fun:) play garruk after and your token will win trample.Awesome!!!

Wow... this card is mean. And I do mean MEAN. 4 cost, but that's about it's only drawback. He feeds you life as a gain ability, which is sweet, but on top of that he can power up your creatures across the board! I mean, after a while those +1/+1 tokens on all your creatures (and yes they do stack!) will make any defense an unbreakable, and the first-strike temp bonus is like the icing to that, making your offenses as potent as your defenses! And as if that weren't sweet enough, after just a few turns, he can summon out the most BEASTLY avatar I have ever seen! An ABSOLUTE MUST in ANY lifegaining deck, ESPECIALLY with the avatar spawning. AMAZING CARD, all the way.

white artifact deck.....ajani Goldmane.....ajani's pridemate.....contagion engine....fun times (maybe a whispersilk cloak for fun)

My first mythic rare ever... I popped him into a deck with a few Noble Purpose enchantments maybe add in a few wall of reverence and just to stay happy I add black to the deck and laugh as sanguine bond comes into play... when my opponent realizes what just happened I decide to play some cards from the new set... maybe contagion engine then I proliferate twice spawn the avatar and laugh insanely as my opponent drops dead... just for kicks maybe wrath of god the board and kill your opponent with a 1/1 using wall of reverence.

I personally think this is a great planeswalker because It has tons of combo potential. I've been trying to perfect a BW deck containing this and lots of other life-gaining stuff combined with the black enchantment Sanguine Bond. On a side note, I think it should be pointed out that the combo mentioned above with Enchanted Evening and Celestial Ancient will not work the way the reviewer suggested. Enchanted Evening says that all your permanents are also enchantments, but it does not turn your unplayed spells into enchantment spells. The Celestial Ancient specifies that your creatures get +1/+1 counters when you play an enchantment spell, not when an enchantment enters the battlefield under your control.

...good planeswalker... just focus on its -1 counter ability..

Sebastian sorry dude but thats a noob combo if the game takes that long to end your doing something wrong, but in terms of type 2 everflowing chalice is a white decks best friend and goes great with ajani, have him and 2 everflows in hand and your golden, get great mana acceration drop ajani gain 2 on turn 3 turn 4 Conquerors Pledge, turn five elrdazi monument game and in terms of now ajani is in top 2 for original 5 plainswalkers and still better that sorin and chanra ablaze

well as far as the +1/+1 counters, i haves something better, but costs more (manna). first, everyone's favorite base for a noob combo, enchanted evening, which costs 4 manna i believe, now all permanents are enchantments, then, make sure you can have celestial ancient out (5 manna) celestial ancients effect is "whenever you play an enchantment, put a +1/+1 COUNTER on every creature you control" semi-high manna cost, but is by far worth it, just yesterday because i wanted to overkill my friend, when i was playing him, i had those out and shinewend "shinewend comes into play with a +1/+1 counter one it, 2 manna, remove a +1/+1 counter from shinewend, destroy target enchantment. i did this to kill every land he brought out. BTW i controled all his stuff because of aura theif, he got board, so i hit him for 214.

4 stars because while the first two abilities are both okay, the last ability just screams terror/crib swap/o-ring/shriekmaw, etc. gaining two life a turn isn't that impressive, but the middle ability is...insane. turn 3 spectral procession, turn 4 this and swing for 6 in the air. next turn swing for 9, then 12...you get the point.

People rank Ajani near the bottom of all the Planeswalkers, and if you judge him just by his -4 "finisher" then you'd be right. That giant avatar is just begging for a terror or an o-ring or a cribswap. But his -1 ability is by far the best! That's +1/+1 COUNTERS, not +1/+1 until end of turn. And adding vigilance until end of turn? Throw a couple of Ajani Goldmanes and dolmen gates in your white deck, and it'll make it sick! Swing with everything and keep blockers!? Yes please!
