That was unexpected. I had expected Samut to have a planeswalker deck card.
Me, too.
And any idle speculation I had that it wouldn't be Samut expected Jace to complete the first cycle of Gatewatch planeswalker decks (as he is the last member of the Origins 5 to not have received a planeswalker deck). And that got quelched with informations about his appearance elsewhere.
But storywise it makes sense. I'm going to assume that while the Gatewatch gets defeated Nissa remains on Amonkhet (or returns there within this blocks story) and makes use of her insight about the planes leylines to undo the devastation as good as she can once Bolas leaves the plane with his toy army in tow - even if she couldn't prevent it. This goes well with the spirit of persistence and looking towards the future and distant (presumnably more prosperous) past in the flavor text of the green Nagas spoiled so far.
I am happy with a surprise "Nissa gets to do something" twist. This kinda reinforces my feeling though that she was not the right choice for a Kaladesh planeswalker deck. *shrug*

[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
So, is it safe to say by this point that we've drifted away from the Pokemon version coincidence? We had FireRed and LeafGreen in Kaladesh, and HeartGold and SoulSilver in Aether Revolt, but Amonkhet didn't give us Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it jumped straight to Black and White. Would this be X and Y?

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
"Starting with Hour of Devastation, we're going to reduce how many cards we give to the Gatewatch."
*This bs gets spoiled*
I can't wait to hear their explanation for why Nissa needed a second planeswalker deck, a FIFTH planeswalker card in standard, and an EIGHTH planeswalker card overall (despite Nissa not even being in this set and it being the very set they promised to start reducing Gatewatch overuse) more than Samut deserved her own planeswalker deck and a second (hopefully less bland and terrible) card in a set that she appeared in and is making her debut as planeswalker in.

Seriously, wtf???
They said they would be shifting the gatewatch members more towards the PW decks with fewer normal set printings in one of the articles to get the casual player branding identity they were originally shooting for.

Because Nissa was the first 'walker with an X in her mana cost!!!! O.O
Saheeli was not and neither was Kaya. Thy really felt like they thought "we need a black and an indian planeswalker, so we will look progressive to our audience, oh and we need more female walkers too!" and made those token representatives.
Well, both filled holes that could have been filled with a female woman of color or something else. Saheeli was a hole-filler/late addition presumably after they realized that the plane of invention should have an invention-themed planeswalker. She is paired with a male blue-skinned planeswalker as well - also an Elf, another native of Kaladesh, a tomcat and a cyborg.
50/50 on the sexes both for newly introduced planeswalkers and for total planeswalkers of the block. If that is a tiring focus on female planeswalkers, then I don't want to know how tiring the introduction of male planeswalkers must have been.
But also a wide (though as-we-know anthropocentric) range of diversity on the fantastic races and ethnicities among the humans. 50/50 among humans/nonhumans. And the humans consist of two native planeswalkers representing each representing one of the two ethnicities the setting is known to feature - and an outsider who is transhuman and also represents a third ethnicity IIRC, though I'm not sure which.
Kaya on the other hand was a blank slate of a planeswalker filling the spot of "planeswalker that never had a card before" that went to the interplanar thief in the previous Conspiracy. There was nothing predefined about the planeswalker. She could be anything. Since there was already a nonhuman planeswalker and we know Wizards likes their humans she has to balance that out. And unless I misunderstand the ethnicities andd they are far more finely grained for people of color she actually is the opposite of a token since she isn't the first planeswalker to appear on a card resembling African descent - following Teferi and Koth.
p.s.: Sorry for mangling the quote so it looks like this is entirely directed at you, Nighstshade1233. I also address the post you quote yourself in the quoted post - even though it is not visible without following the link.
There have been some remarks in this thread that border on pure blatant sexism, but it's not easy to discern whether they're jokes or not. So please, try to avoid such posts and focus on the card instead, thank you.

It is also consistent with her characterization so far. It makes sense for her to try and undo the damage wrought to worlds she has visited after her character arc with the Eldrazi. She, in her own mind, are atoning for releasing the Eldrazi, which lead to the devastation of her homeworld of Zendikar, and the near extinction of her tribe. If she feels that she can undo similar devastation to other worlds, even if only partially, she will try to do so.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
And people complain about Jace getting one new card in Ixalan. Damn I'm getting tired of female Planeswalkers. Samut over Djeru next, then the native Ixalan PW is… female and the face character is… Vraska.
There's significantly more male planeswalker cards than female. I don't want to alarm you, but women make up approximately half of the population. So your comment is just sexist.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
I play a lot of commander, this just seems like an insane investment for little reward. In ramp decks, at 7 mana you're usually trying to win.
No, you clearly don't.
You're clearly one of those people that plays 4-man solitaire games where everyone is playing Narset and Mormir Vig and a deck designed to shove in as many infinite combos and mana ramp as possible.
That's not how most of us play EDH. Some of us like to have fun, social games that don't end in a turn 7 infinite combo.
This card is actually pretty good for those of us that aren't spiky cheesballs.

Heh. When I play commander and one in the play group insists on play combo decks, I usually take out a commander deck designed to disrupt comboes. Not so easy to get of your combo when I stole your critical artifact with Desertion, now is it?
It took a few sessions, but I finally got "combo-win" out of his system, sure, his decks still often feature combos, but none of them game ending. Once he realized that I opted to specifically play decks to disrupt his combo wins, he relaxed and started to have fun instead.
As for the topic at hand. The more I see this Nissa, the more I want her in my Mayael commander deck.

Seriously, wtf???
They said they would be shifting the gatewatch members more towards the PW decks with fewer normal set printings in one of the articles to get the casual player branding identity they were originally shooting for.
One reason I dislike the change to planeswalker decks is the face card/cover art might be the same once every 3 or 4 sets. If they are going to "Gatewatchify" the set associated precons, then there will be the same character gracing the cover of set associated precons every 3 or 4 sets.
I like that she can be cast on turn 3 in elf decks if you +1 right away to untap 2 dorks and 2 lands that paid for her. The other abilities are a touch too slow for modern or standard if you take that route but its still a decent card for casual/edh
Edit; I'm high, that don't work
Well, the +2 will definitely work well in elf decks if you've got things like Priest of Titania. The -3 isn't bad, but I would rather have seen either a multi-target buff or some form of evasion added. Ult is okay, but I doubt I'd use it in decks that I would actually run this in.

Edit; I'm high, that don't work
A turn 3 cast would be possible - T1 Forest, Llanowar Elves/Elvish Mystic. T2 Forest, Priest of Titania, and any other one-drop elf. T3 Forest, Nissa - then you can +2 to untap 2 of the forests, the Priest and the other mana dork to cast another 7 mana (or more, if you cast more elves before tapping the Priest) worth of spells. (A turn 3 Nissa + Zendikar Resurgent, for example, would be just horrifying for the opponent.)
5. Five Nissa's in standard. Back to back blocks even. The rest of the main gatewatch have three except for Jace who has one. So can people stop crying about Jace being overexposed now? I mean he never really was in the first place but now it's beyond ridiculous.
The Good: The artwork on this Nissa planeswalker is really top notch and would love to have it as a mousepad or potentially a wall scroll.
The bad: Why is it a seven mana planeswalker that doesn't win the game? At Seven mana it doesn't matter what format someone is playing, if there is a ramp deck it has to decide if it needs a ramp card at 7 mana or a Karn Liberated. Amonkhet actually got all the playables in the planeswalkers this standard it seems.
And for commander players: No. Just no. Even in commander, if you make it to 7 mana, you are not going to want to play this card. Tezzeret, Master of Metal is the staple example of a playable commander planeswalker in a Commander deck. This new nissa has to compete with Rampaging Baloths, Pathbreaker Ibex, and other major game ending creatures. I'd rather put one of those in the slot than stuff this crapwalker in there.
1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
I really like the color scheme of the art, but man, she really seem to have dislocated her left arm.
As to why it costs so much well... If they had to equilibrate the PW decks then they needed something as slow as Bolas.
Yey, why another Nissa PW deck? Why not Samut?
And people complain about Jace getting one new card in Ixalan. Damn I'm getting tired of female Planeswalkers. Samut over Djeru next, then the native Ixalan PW is… female and the face character is… Vraska.
Be aware that saying this might mark you as a misoginist to the eyes of some people.
Looking at data, at the moment there are 20 male planeswalkers (both human and non-human) and 13 female ones (14 with Samut). Probably progressives at WotC feel that they have some catching-up to do.
I personally don't mind the sex and gender of a character as long as it is not just tokenism and as long as the character is interesting.
For example: Nahiri was interesting, as was Tamiyo.
Saheeli was not and neither was Kaya. Thy really felt like they thought "we need a black and an indian planeswalker, so we will look progressive to our audience, oh and we need more female walkers too!" and made those token representatives.
Why are white male characters "normal" and everything else has to be justified? You realize magic is a global game and women make up half the human population, right?

While infinitely worse than Garruk Wildspeaker and Nissa, Worldwaker in monogreen EDH, certain builds may want her anyways (Ezuri, Omnath, Azusa, Sachi, Seton) because her +2 is legitimately that strong especially when untapping mana dorks and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.

Well, redundancy is great. It has some really solid abilities, untapping 4 perms for profit, even at 7 mana, is insane. She's more or less a second Zendikar Resurgent or Mana Reflection rather than a game ender. I'll play the heck out of her in EDH lists. Can't wait to combine her with Garruk, and just create insane mana and win via Helix Pinnacle.
Definitely not as bad as you make her out to be...
This place is so dumb. SJW culture. I complained about getting so many back to back, not about the gender specifically. It's beginning to feel like trying to meet a quota. Look at who the native PWs have been for the past few sets and the next, and the PW decks. Jace is the only one without one. And let's take a look at Nissa since BFZ? Or better yet, just lately. OGW card, KLD card, Amonkhet card, two PW decks. Just exhausting.
Anyway, I'll go back to misogynistically having Thassa as my favorite character now.

I think that the problem with Jace I think was that he had too many GOOD cards so he was basically always present in a form or another. Chandra had as many cards as Jace (more or less) but most of them were pretty weak so she wasn't resented that much.
Well... At least it is not another Gideon or we would really have a Gideon tribal deck
I guess. That's more of Wizards fault for not balancing them I suppose. Five Nissa cards in standard is a bit ridiculous though. I don't see why it couldn't have been Samut
Me, too.
And any idle speculation I had that it wouldn't be Samut expected Jace to complete the first cycle of Gatewatch planeswalker decks (as he is the last member of the Origins 5 to not have received a planeswalker deck). And that got quelched with informations about his appearance elsewhere.
But storywise it makes sense. I'm going to assume that while the Gatewatch gets defeated Nissa remains on Amonkhet (or returns there within this blocks story) and makes use of her insight about the planes leylines to undo the devastation as good as she can once Bolas leaves the plane with his toy army in tow - even if she couldn't prevent it. This goes well with the spirit of persistence and looking towards the future and distant (presumnably more prosperous) past in the flavor text of the green Nagas spoiled so far.
