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. 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 {{Ability|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 once if {{Card URL|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, {{Ability|buff|buffs}} them, gives them manaand gives them {{Ability|Berserker}}. On death, and it will give the first creature in hand an additional buff and {{Ability|Reach}} if another creature dies. The buff from her ultimate is relatively large and, if cheap creatures are used, is apt to may trigger loop detection, once 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 {{Ability|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 {{Card URL|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.
