In formats like Standard and Pioneer, decks built around cards like Ajani's Pridemate (or its more powerful variants) are usually competitive
You don't lose anything if your opponents choose to discard at the end of their turn, but it's better for you if they choose to keep their card and give you the option to drop a big Badnik onto the table
With Jinbes support, you can go wide on the board, applying more pressure through multiple attacks
The creature type is full of cards like Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid, and Heritage Druid that reward you for going deeper into elves
Heck, even if it coaxes out that Swords to Plowshares (and you don't get the Treasures because the Hydra is Exiled), now you can cast something else and know that stupid Swords is used up
Rides End is our pick for best of the bunch, exiling both creatures and Vehicles at instant speed
