Okay guys, as stated, this is a spin-off from Armageddon Stax. I wanted to reply to this but I didn't want to pollute the Stax thread. So here goes:
Back to the Alara Planeswalkers, I haven't tested Elspeth, but I've played some games with Ajani Vengeur, and he's... problematic. Namely, I run far too often into my opponent playing a new creature after Ajani hits the board, and killing him with that, while neither Ajani nor Ghostly Prison can do anything about it. If I can stop that creature from attacking Ajani it means I could already ignore it somehow (exception: Factory chump-blocking with no Crucible).
I think I'll try to fit Ajani in a sort of Stax spin-off. I'm looking at something like this:
24 lands incl. Tombs and Factories, but maybe not the full Cities
4 Mox Diamond
2 Chrome Mox?
4 Chalice
4 Crucible
4 Burning Wish?
3+1 Firespout
2+1 Boom/Bust
3+1 Armageddon
4 Humility
3 Ajani
3 Elspeth (SO wish this could be Garruk)
I think Chrome Mox won't be needed as you have enough mana sources without them. Instead, perhaps include Moats? (Elspeth can make your soldiers jump) They seem to be good with Humility.
