Title: Idea for my Favorite Planeswalker!!!
Post by: Venufan on June 27, 2012, 03:58:15 PM
This is an idea I have for my favorite planeswalker, Nissa Revane.
This is a modification that is more reasonable.

Name: Nissa, the Tempted
Cost: 3GB
+1--put one 1/1 elf token into the battle field
-4--put an emblem with: elves you control have: tap a forest target elf gains reach. Tap a swamp target elf gains deathtouch.
-7--Destroy all non-elf creatures.
Starting loyalty: 4

Nissa has been referenced to use black mana a bit so in her search for Sorin she delves deeper in her use of it. That is where I got the destroy and deathtouch.

+2 to get 2 deathtouch reach tokens? A wee bit overpowered there. +1 for 1 token with deathtouch and no reach is more reasonable.

Emblem should probably be "regenerate this creature" not "target" also.

I do like idea of Nissa dabbling in Black though. She is a planeswalker I would be happy to see again.

Well the reason I put that in there is because elves usually don't have much flying so she realized the weakness and gave the a sort of taught them how to use like poison-tipped arrows or something. I think I might have went a bit overboard because her first card was kind of bad, but so was Garruk's.

Oh and starting loyalty is 3 or 4.

1st ability is too much. Gaining loyalty for amazing creature advantage (and they get buffs for being elves). I like how it helps her defend herself, but a new +loyalty and move that to -2

Oh and the emblem I can explain. I kind of see Nissa as the planeswalker to unite many different tribes of elves maybe even all of them. So as such when one is vulnerable to destruction or death another steps in to save it. I may be taking it a little far but like I said she is my favorite planeswalker.

Her emblem should be regenerate target elf. Or target green creature. Not all creatures.
And her tokens should either get reach or death touch but not both.
She should also start at 3 loyalty due to her ultimate destroying all creatures. Wanna have to work to get there.

What I did with her starting loyalty and ultimate is I looked at planeswalkers like elspeth who has a similar ability and I kind of upped nissa's ultimate because of her plus 2. I didn't want her to be placed on the field, use the up ability once then next turn destroy all creature except favorable creatures.

Elspeth +1 = 1/1 token
Your PW +2 = 1/1 token deathtouch and reach

That's not quite similar, that's way too much. Reach or deathtouch would be fine but not both. Your token can trade with anything without first strike, Elspeths token can't do that, they even can't block flying creatures.

Well, it's about damn time green gets an OP meta game changer. Haha probably +1 for a 1/1 elf with reach OR death touch? Iono. Something like that

+2--Put two 1/1 GB elf tokens with reach and deathtouch on the battlefield.(thinking about how to change this one.)
-6--put an emblem with: elves you control have: tap-1-regenerate target elf.
-10--Destroy all non-elf creatures they cannot be regenerated.

Nissa has been referenced to use black mana a bit so in her search for Sorin she delves deeper in her use of it. That is where I got the destroy, regenerate, and deathtouch.
I would love this way tooooooooioi OP
