Strategy
Ajani, Nacatl Pariah is a two-sided card that starts as a cheap creature and transforms into a planeswalker once you've dealt enough damage. The game plan is straightforward: play Ajani early, attack to flip it into Ajani, Nacatl Avenger, then use its planeswalker abilities to generate value and pressure opponents. The front side is aggressive and efficient, while the back side provides card advantage and the ability to create tokens or pump your board.
Once flipped, Ajani becomes a powerful value engine. Its plus ability creates Cat tokens, its minus ability deals damage and tutors for lands, and its ultimate can close games quickly. The deck wants to lean into aggressive early turns with efficient creatures and combat tricks, ensuring you can flip your commander and then protect it while grinding toward victory. You'll win through a combination of token swarm, combat damage, and the card advantage generated by the planeswalker side.
