Ajani Unyielding

Six mana buys a planeswalker whose plus ability is the loudest piece of card advantage Selesnya has put on a static walker: revealing three off the top and keeping every nonland permanent is, in a deck built to support it, two or three cards a turn with no symmetry and no cost beyond the loyalty climb. That is the half people remember. The half that does the structural work is the minus two, an exile-based creature answer that hands the opponent life equal to power. Exile matters because it sidesteps the recursion and indestructibility that green-white grindfests run into; the lifegain is the price, and it is a real one against an aggressive board where every point you donate is a point closer to your own clock. Notice what the two cheap abilities split between them: the plus fills the hand, the minus protects the body holding the loyalty. Neither pretends to close a game. The ultimate does, and it scales with two of green-white's favorite plans at once, fattening a wide creature board and feeding loyalty to a planeswalker shell, but at minus nine off a base of four it is a payoff you have to earn over several turns rather than a button you mash. The card is built for the slow lane: a value engine that asks you to already be ahead on the ground, then widens the gap until the alpha strike is academic.
