Is Ajani Cured?

▶

Ajani is indeed cured, thanks to the selfless act of Melira, the Living Cure, who sacrificed herself to inoculate both Nissa and Ajani by cleansing away the Phyrexian oil from their bodies. This cure was further facilitated by Karn, who used the remainder of Venser’s spark to filter and restore the sparks of Nissa and Ajani, effectively saving them from the brink of compleation.

Understanding the Context

To fully appreciate the significance of Ajani’s cure, it’s essential to understand the context of the Phyrexian invasion and the devastating effects of compleation on Planeswalkers. The Phyrexians, with their oil and compleation process, posed a significant threat to the Multiverse, and Ajani, along with other Planeswalkers, found himself in dire need of salvation.
