Ajani Unrelenting

Less generally valuable than Liliana, Dreadhorde General, but token decks can make -3 a one-sided sweeper with a surviving Cadet.

Could be wrong if The revealed pool may not provide a competitive red token shell or sufficient time to justify six mana.

Costlier than the 45-score Elspeth, Storm Slayer and poorly suited to fast decks; its best case is a niche token-board reset.

Could be wrong if A resilient token shell or slower Pioneer metagame could make its asymmetric -3 more desirable.

Even 45-score Ugin, Eye of the Storms has a clearer big-mana role; six mana and {R}{R} lack an established Modern home.

Could be wrong if A red big-mana or token strategy able to cast it ahead of curve would improve its outlook.

It is a weaker, more color-demanding payoff than 20-score Ugin, Eye of the Storms in a format where six mana must immediately dominate.

Could be wrong if Ancient Tomb-based red prison or token lists could test it if creature boards become more common.

Token decks value the repeatable Cadets, mass haste, creature-count refill, and -3 that spares their tokens, though six mana is costly.

Could be wrong if Optimized tables may remove Ajani immediately or favor cheaper sweepers and token payoffs.

A Cadet is created before -3 resolves, so Ajani often sweeps ordinary creature boards while retaining a 2/2 and a live planeswalker.

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, token density, removal, and large-creature prevalence could make the four-damage sweep less decisive.
