I find it useful for grabbing combo pieces when I've tested with it.

I've got 1 non-creature combo piece: Phyrexian Altar and like 900 creature tutors.

Well that is what I got

You can run Trinket Mage and do the same thing, and also grab Sol Ring, Sensei's Diving Top. I mean, I could too, but you know what I mean.

Well I'm assuming Ajani is in for the tutor aspect since neither of the other two modes help you very much. And as you said, you already have 900 creature tutors. So maybe something else would be better? garruk wildspeaker? Good jace? thragtusk? (I like that one a lot!)

Meddling Mage is in. Ajani's first mode is actually similar to Melira, Sylvok Outcast and Novijen, Heart of Progress. Gets rid of -1/-1 counters. Plus it makes things bigger, which is helpful for when I actually have to start winning a game.

I actually noticed it was there and edited with a few suggestions.

Thragusk? Plz?

Thragusk? Plz?

Big Jace was in it. He got replaced by Garruk, Caller of Beasts. Garruk is better, Jace, the Mind Sculptor dies pretty easily and brainstorms 2 cards. Garruk draws more.

Garruk Wildspeaker is completely out of place..I mean it doesn't so much of anything.

If Thragtusk comes in that means some other 5+ drop comes out. It's just the nature of how the deck has been progressing. Less huge CMC stuff, more lower curve action.

Love the effort you put into this

Curve-wise I was suggesting -ajani +thragtusk, but I see how ajani could be useful in this deck more than I did before.

Is spike weaver just there to fog forever?

Is spike weaver just there to fog forever?

yep. He's REALLY good at it. But removing him would be an illegal move, because you want to replace it with a higher CMC creature. The only real move would be a lateral move to drop Acidic Slime for Thragtusk.

Oh, that was just a question in general. Not necessarily to replace thragtusk with.

Yup. TurboFog machine. He's one of my favorites. I've been kicking it around, the Melira, Sylvok Outcast stuff probably has to go.

Tentative:
➖ Melira, Sylvok Outcast ➕ Bant Panorama
➖ Kitchen Finks ➕ Mangara of Corondor
➖ Woodfall Primus ➕ Thragtusk
➖ Phyrexian Altar ➕ Path to Exile
➖ Gilded Lotus ➕ Chromatic Lantern

Adding in so many lands. Why? Also coalition relic?

Also when you get a chance could you update the main decklist?

Adding lands just cause I guess. And the decklist will be updated if I go through with it. Which it's entirely possible I might back out

Awesome thanks. This is very useful as I begin to work on my own version of Roon (which may be coincidentally similar to yours... )

Looking forward to seeing your list. There are a lot of bant colored blinky things to choose from.
