| "Hope you have a LOT of +1/+1 counters." |
Ajani Unyielding wasn't the only Ajani recently revealed. Like Kaladesh, Aether Revolt has its own Planesawlker Decks, with their own exclusive planeswalker cards.
There's honestly not too much to talk about Baby's First Ajani. It's practically the same image as Ajani Unyielding, but with a slightly different pose showing the unscarred side of his face, and the lighting is much brighter.
The first ability is an upscale version of Ajani, Caller of the Pride's first ability, with two counters instead of one. The second ability mimics Ajani's previous deck searching abilities, but what's interesting is how it foils the other Planeswalker Deck in the set. Tezzeret, Master of Metal's +1 ability is almost the same, except his ability reveals cards until you reveal an artifact, while it's a creature for Ajani.
And the ultimate ability touches what I mentioned with the last Ajani. Ajani likes you to have a big life total. Ajani Classic gave you an Avatar token with power and toughness equal to your life, and Caller of the Pride gave you X 2/2 Cat tokens, with X being equal to your life. There was also the ultimate on Mentor of Heroes, which gave you 100 life, but this card's ability is more in the vein of the first two cards. Rather than making a creature though, this one gives an existing creature X +1/+1 counters, with X being see above. And in case your opponent wasn't dead after that, the creature gains trample for a turn. It is also one of the more expensive ultimate abilities, going into double digits, but still losing to Gideon, Champion of Justice.
