M15 Planeswalkers - Part 1

Let's talk M15 Spoilers. Particularly, new planeswalkers. There are plenty of sweet new cards and reprints to talk about, but I want to talk about planeswalkers specifically. Let's dive right in:

Ajani Steadfast

HO-LY CRAAAAAP. I really love this card. Seriously. It's great. Splashable in many types of decks, great that it helps other walkers you control, and it's +1 ability is devastating against most decks. Unlike previous variants of Ajani that put a +1/+1 counter on a creature you control or on each, this version does both, but just better. It's ultimate ability is also a good-game button. I don't know how well it will help against aggro strategies, but with the abundance of midrange decks in the current meta it will help against the big dumb animals they generally run.

Jace, the Living Guildpact

People be hating on new Jace like crazy, and honestly, I don't know why. The card is actually quite good. Here are 3 important things to note:

1.  4 CMC walkers will always get some level of play because their cost is aggressive enough to warrant it.
2. He effectively ETB with 6 loyalty counters, and a freebie pseudo Sleight of Hand. 
3. If you ultimate him, I don't know how you lose. Not only do you remove all utility your opponent may have in their graveyard, but you also get to play the game with 7 more card than them. Seriously, how do you lose at that point?

Join me again tomorrow for some more new planeswalker talk! 

Until then, let me know what you think about the new Ajani and Jace!
