If the dupe conversion system isn't total garbage, Mirrorpool will be on the top of the list of "cards to get that I still don't have".@madwren Snarkiness aside, I think it's a good thing that Aj2 is as balanced as he appears to be. He is all around better than either C2 or N2, and I think we can say that unequivocally. I also think that like T2, he will remain relevant at least for the next block, if not longer. He has an unprecedented life total, as well as some very unique abilities. Even if you don't have the perfect library of Energize cards, you can still set him up to be a real powerhouse. And beyond that, some of the cards from the older blocks (GR & Deploy, for one example) will make up for his less-than-generic abilities.As for T2, I think the U/B color combo would have made him a better PW no matter what, even not counting for the fact that he's built around KLD/AER mechanics. It would be hard to make a U/B PW that didn't suck.@wereotter I actually agree with how they have set up his mana gains. Green has ridiculous ramp; we know this already. It would make sense for them to slow that down a bit on Aj2 in the name of balance. It also makes sense when you look at his ridiculous max health, and his max deck contents. Four supports seems quite limiting, but it does two important things.1) It forces you to consider your overall strategy for your deck, which leads me to -2) It decreases the potential for ridiculous ramping comboing off of other things. Sure, you will still be able to build a solid ramp deck with him. But to do so, you will have to shy away from things like Hixus, Bonds, etc., or you will just end up trying to do too much.

ZW2007- said: That said, I still think he will be good thanks to his high life and the color combo. I rank him in 3rd for KLD block walkers. Saheeli is 1st followed by T2 and lastly, N2 at 4th.
ZW2007- said: As AKH come around, the strong KLD block mythic energy cards will remain strong even without going all in on energy. A2 isn't as good as far as abilities go because his 1st's energy is useless without any overload cards in the deck and his 3rd is useless without a lot of energy in the deck, not to mention that with his already insane life total and the ability to heal 9 for 9 loyalty kind of makes his 3rd useless in general. That said, I still think he will be good thanks to his high life and the color combo. I rank him in 3rd for KLD block walkers. Saheeli is 1st followed by T2 and lastly, N2 at 4th.
ZW2007- said: Wow totally forgot about Dovin Baan. Haven't used him much lately. C2 was definitely left out on purpose. I'd rank dovin as a tie for A2 but probably better since blue is more broken than green and his abilities are more self-sufficient. N2's problem is a serious lack of good removal in mono-green, otherwise she is indeed very good.

Here, like in paper magic, green relies on having big, fat creatures to get the job done. So you play those, then give them reach and/or berserker. Plus you have access to Scour from Existence which is expensive, but green can cast it pretty easily.

The biggest, badass creatures in this game aren't green.
EDHdad said: Green should also have the biggest baddest support removal in the entire game. Like 10 mana: "Destroy all supports your opponent controls. Then put a 4/4 elemental token into play for each support destroyed this way. Then that creature fights each creature your opponent controls".
DonovanBR said: Hello, guys! I wanna know what are you thinking about Ajani Anyielding in these latest versions that may not include Kaladesh?I'm asking because he seems me very limited. I mean, I only use him to iput counters on cretures I own with 2nd skill. The last skill is almost useless with the speed that the gems are destroyed. I can never find a situation where it can be used. So, do you use any strategy for this utility, when any event limits Kaladesh or any other version that has more synergy with him?Because, how all it currently works, I'm very annoying for bought him.

You can still go creatureless with Hazorets Undying Fury/Approach of the Second Sun until Amonkhet rotates out, which is pretty soon.
