Ajani Unyielding

Ajani's Ability

Is Ajani Unyielding's +2, a break seeing as it can draw you cards that aren't related to creatures?

Green is allowed to “impulse” (look at top N cards of the library and take one) for creatures and land and white can get artifacts, enchantments, and planeswalkers so all permanents are covered. Normally impulses are one-shot, so that’s a little bit of a bend.

Planeswalker Support Concept

What I meant by Planeswalker Lord is a planeswalker who specifically boosted your other planeswalkers. The closest we've had was Ajani Unyielding who could fetch others and his ultimate who added loyalty to others. But I could see a planeswalker who's gives hexproof/indestructible to other planeswalkers or a planeswalker that reduces cost on planeswalker abilities. Sorry if it wasn't clear initially!

As we do more niche-y planeswalkers, I could imagine us doing some that have abilities that aid other planeswalkers. I mean, we already have.

Standard Suitability

If Swords to Plowshares is too good for Standard (and you have no argument from me there!) how did the -2 on Ajani Unyielding get printed? Was there much discussion about it?

The biggest issue with Swords to Plowshares is its efficiency. If it cost a bunch more, it wouldn’t be a color pie issue.
