As long as there is Magic, there will always be bombs in Limited. Cards that are powerful, game warping, cards that require an answer lest they completely take over the game and win it for the person who played it. However, not all bombs are created equal.

Sometimes, bombs are a bit less scary in a given set, and sometimes, we get an outlier. A bomb amongst bombs, a card that stands so high above the rest that you can safely say that it's one of the best cards in Limited that's ever been printed. Well, we just got a card like that in Reality Fracture, and his name is Ajani Unrelenting.

Ajani Unrelenting

Ajani Unrelenting is a card that simply makes it hard to ever be behind. When you play it, if you're behind on board, you simply use the -3 ability to deal 4 damage to all creatures. Oh but wait, it doesn't deal damage to all creatures, it deals damage to all creatures except tokens you control.

Oh and what's that? Ajani has a passive ability that gives you a 2/2 token whenever you activate a loyalty ability, so that means you get a 2/2 first that doesn't die to the board wipe. Don't worry, your opponent's tokens will still be destroyed. So right off the bat, we have an asymmetrical boardwipe that gives you a creature and Ajani Unrelenting still gets to stick around, which is pretty absurd.

If the board is stalled out and both players are top decking, which is a board state you'll find yourself in enough in this format, then you can just use Ajani's -2 ability to discard your hand and draw a card for each creature you control, including the 2/2 token you just made by activating him. Getting a full grip of cards while adding to the board is pretty hard to beat and will likely put you ahead of your opponent.

If you're already ahead or your opponent doesn't have many creatures on board, you can instead just use his +1 ability to give your creatures +1/+0 and haste until end of turn, which of course will include the 2/2 creature token you make.

Oh, and did I mention that the passive ability on Ajani Unrelenting will also make a token when you activate a loyalty ability of other planeswalkers, including your Jace tokens you get when you Empower Jace? Overall, it's not hard to see why this card is so good, and the numbers only confirm this.

Absurd Win Rate

Ajani Unrelenting is currently sitting at a 73.5% win rate on 17lands, a website used to analyze data on Limited Magic. Now that may seem pretty impressive, but if you're at all familiar with the kind of win rates we usually see at the top of formats, this number seems quite insane.

For context, the next best card in the set, The Theorist, Jace Beleren, has a win rate of 69.3%. Going back to previous sets, the best card in Marvel Super Heroes was the infamous The Super Hero Civil War which also had a win rate of 69.3%. Most other formats don't have a card that even approaches the bench mark set by these cards, with their biggest bombs having win rates around 66%. To even find a card that gets to the 70% mark, we have to go all the way back to Edge of Eternities which came out a whole year ago, with Ouroboroid sitting at exactly 70%.

Wrap Up

All of this is just to say that Ajani Unrelenting is a true outlier among outliers. We simply don't get cards that are this good at seemingly everything. It's a good play from behind, from parity, and from ahead. It adds to the board every turn, and demands an answer from your opponent, but even that might not save them if you've already wiped their board away. Don't feel too bad if you lose against this card. It probably just wasn't meant to be. And if you're the one who plays it, congratulations, you likely just won the game.
