The first two cards are known, so I think it's time to start the thread:
Unlike Akroma, it's a 3-turn clock for Reanimation decks and the likes. Too bad it doesn't have the removal resistance and vigilance Akroma offers. Also note that this is the only card of [Ala] that is already Legacy-legal due to being in "From the Vault: Dragons".
I dunno - looks like a "Meh"-card to me, especially for a Mythic Rare Planeswalker.
The planeswalker might be a good card to have in Armageddon Stax.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.
Team ADHD-To resist is to piss in the wind. Anyone who does will end up smelling.

Agree. .
It's already official, RW Planewalker named Ajani Vengeant (and he will be pre-release card too). .
His 1st ability is quite good to lock, beside his 2nd to helix is powerful. .
EDIT : Oopz. I didn't see the link from the first post. .

I like Ajani, I'm going to test it with a white splash in my MWS Source Tourney deck.
Both the new Ajani and Ajani Goldmane have the subtype "Ajani" - does this mean they can't be in play at the same time? I'm a bit unfamiliar with Planeswalker rulings.
Yeah it does, thats why you cant have 2 Garruks out under todays Planewalker rules, though 2 different Kamahls can be out at the same time...how fair...Originally Posted by Jaynel

It and thunder dragon almost make the dragons set attractive to me, even though I don't play with foils. Maybe if these new ones are warp proof, maybe... Most people who play reanimator have dropped Akroma for creatures you can play animate dead on: Garza Zol is a nice replacement as you swing for five and draw a card (to hell with defense). Overlord might be better: would have to test to see how often an extra 3 damage would be game ending.Unlike Akroma, it's a 3-turn clock for Reanimation decks and the likes. Too bad it doesn't have the removal resistance and vigilance Akroma offers.
No complaints about Ajani, other than I still hate mythics.
I like the Ajani, but I don't know where it would fit. I'm pretty sure Geddon Stax won't be able to support a red splash. Maybe Rifter can make a resurgence? Meh, probably not.
The Overlord allows a Dragonstorm at three to be lethal, but I don't think that's gonna be relevant. Will be fun in my casual Sneak Attack deck though.
I really really really really like overlord... stupid badass uncompetitive badass cards... GAY. Anyhow, I think I'm going to have to build Dragonstorm combo now... >_> Why couldn't it be 5 or 6 mana?
Edit: Overlord lets a Dragonstorm at TWO become lethal if you have excess mana (not likely, but hay, it's worth mentioning).
Team Battletoadz: Fuck the Meta-police?
If it's all in our heads, it's best that we don't loose them.
There's another shards card out there, he's the R/G Planeswalker, If I can find the link to it I will post it. They showed the card minus the rules text.
That Dragon is fuckin ill. That is some badass art on him.
I don't think Ajani will have any affect on legacy decks, it seems a little weak and slow, but he's still pretty decent.
Team Hammafist-We don't take kindly to those who don't take kindly."Got any trade boogas?"
Planswalker looks incredibly fake.
Uh, yeah. I'm sure they'd fake it on the Wizards' website.
RW Planeswalker? Plus the RG one we were shown at the introduction of Mythic says that there are gonna be 10 planeswalkers in ALA. Anyone else worried that most of them will be duds, because Wizards can't generate that many new, decent ideas?
EDIT:
It's about frickin time Wizards started exploring the design space of casting cost more. Hooray for xyyz mana symbols
Referring to the art on Stasis:
Well, besides dragon cycles and planeswalkers, alara seems to be shaping up to be as monocolored as kamigawa.Hooray for xyyz mana symbols
But yeah, xyzz is probably no big deal with the silly amount of duals in std now, where people can splash 1UUU for cryptic command.
In what way? Each shard is coupled with 2 other colors? I have a feeling there will be multi colored theme, or a very invasion block-esque theme. Ex, white spells that have abilities with red or black costs.
Si, I like cereal.
Based on the launch party "special" deck construction rule that I'm seeing, I'm also thinking Shards of Alara will be more multicoloured than monocoloured.
Someone at WotC finally realized that multicoloured block is good for the business ("if we make multicoloured blocks, not only will it be generally liked by the public, like Invasion or Ravnica block, but we also get to put in at least 10 $10 lands that make 2 mana, whose value will plummet when they rotate out of standard, but we don't care, score!")
And not just in Standard: Toast decks in Block now run combined colour costs of(all of them in at least 3-4 copies) with no nonland mana fixers. I think at this point it would be almost healthy to reprint Wasteland.
YOU'RE GIVING ME A TIME MACHINE IN ORDER TO TREAT MY SLEEP DISORDER.
How does that jibe with "one world split into five distinct realms?"I'm also thinking Shards of Alara will be more multicoloured than monocoloured.
The intro packs seem to incorporate the realm names, indicating that they're probably mono color. Just my take, but it seems that there's a strong mono theme, which is pretty apparent in the art they've released for the past few wallpapers on wizards'.
I thought it was confirmed that this block's theme was mono-colored with a splash of it's 2 allied colors.
