== Heroic — Nissa ==
The first, third, and last battles have mutually exclusive objectives. The first can be remarkably difficult; poor starting draws can lead to a defeat in a handful of rounds.
=== Battle 1 ===
Must be played twice to complete both secondary objectives. It is markedly more difficult than the other battles, and requires some sort of non-targeted removal (eg [[Origins]]' Claustrophobia or Fleshbag Marauder or The Great Aurora or [[PMA]]'s Wight), to deal with the starting and potentially subsequent Gaea's Revenges.
