Nissa of Shadowed Boughs is a green elf Planeswalker, introduced in October 2020 along with the Zendikar Rising card set.
She has higher than average health and average deck limits. She has good mana gains in her colors, a small blue bonus, and small minuses to White and Red.
Her first ability is mostly to be ignored, simply because the other two are so strong; its gem conversion is small, and Landfall is too rare a trigger for the equally small benefits of the Shadowed Boughs token, with many PW abiities of the same strength triggering at the beginning of turn or some such. Her second ability is very adaptable, and makes an excellent setup for the third, simultaneously creating a land support to gain Black and Green gems, and a large clump of elemental Token creatures. It can also be ignored on occasion to rush to her third ability, but only if enough black gems are on the board; Green swaps may be prioritized to leave Black on the board, especially if Gather the Pack has already been used. The ultimate makes a support which activates when a creature is cast or killed. On cast, it reanimates creatures, returning them from her graveyard to hand, buffs them, gives them mana and gives them Berserker . On death, it will give the first creature in hand an additional buff and {{Ability|Reach}. The buff from her ultimate is relatively large and, if cheap creatures are used, may trigger loop detection, especially if Gather the Pack is used, although it is not a true loop. It also adds mana to lands in hand. All of her abilities create Token supports, and create or interact with Black and Green gems. N5 is nigh invulnerable to creature destruction; other removal is more useful, since destruction only feeds her graveyard and conversely, she can use board wipes like The Great Aurora at will.
Nissa of Shadowed Boughs, sometimes called N5, is the fifth of six playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Nissa Revane at different points in her life.
