Ajani, Strength of the Pride

Description

Ajani, Strength of the Pride is the second card in the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020 checklist, designated with the set code M20. As a legendary planeswalker, this card requires {2}{W}{W} to cast and begins with 5 loyalty. The foil treatment distinguishes this print from the nonfoil base version, offering a distinct visual finish for collectors who build sets or complete specific parallel runs. The card’s abilities revolve around life gain and board control. The +1 ability allows the player to gain life equal to the combined total of creatures and planeswalkers they control. The -2 ability creates a 2/2 white Cat Soldier creature token called Ajani's Pridemate, which receives a +1/+1 counter whenever the player gains life. Collectors value this card for its high rarity status within the set. Mythic rare cards appear less frequently than traditional rares, making this foil version a notable target for completionists. The design by artist Chris Rallis contributes to its appeal in the Magic: The Gathering trading card community.
