I'm calling fake as that last ability should "Return a creature that you own to your hand" as it's worded now it returns a creature that you control, but don't own to your hand.

That first ability seems kind of fake.
I get that it's there to balance the larger tokens,
but Nissa putting -1/-1 counters on creatures feels weird.
That and being called 'herald of life' would seem more of a +1/ +1 counter thing than -1/-1 counter. As stated the ultimate wouldn't be worded like that. Also why would this be in english on a russian face book? We've gotten offical spoilers in from russian site before in russian, why would this be different?

It's not real. It's not pretending to be a translated mockup of a non-English card, so bad translation doesn't account for the blatant rules violation in the Ultimate.
Also, the claim that it's been handing around on some facebook page for 8 hours and nobody noticed is really a fishy story. A third planeswalker spoil would be a huge deal given the excitement around the other two.
Well reminder that is authentic Nissa art and I heard there is 3 walkers in this set. (Amonkhet not hour of devastation.)
But it's fake for 3 reasons
1# the -2 ability hurting the ultimate is the first one.
2# she makes humans instead of elementals nor elfs.
3# the mana symbol is off look at chorocojo's post.
This has to be fake. Right now, you can play a turn 2 Channeler Initiate, play a turn 3 Nissa, -2 Nissa, draw 2 cards, and have a 3/4 and a planswalker with 1 loyalty left after drawing 2 cards.
Totally fake for reasons other have stated, but I kind of wish it wasn't, simply because I would like to see more planeswalkers that actually synergize with block mechanics rather than always just being generically good. However, the ultimate is really underpowered (you're better off just continuing to use the other abilities tbh) and the abilities don't seem like Nissa at all.
And of course, the fact that we're getting yet another Nissa (the 4th one in 8 sets!) really pisses me off, no matter what the real one ends up being, but we knew that Nissa was getting a card and Maro has promised that they will stop overusing the Gatewatch starting with Hour of Devastation, so at least there's hope for the future.
Thank God it is believed to be fake, if WOTC were to want a -1/-1 counter themed planeswalker, they could have created a new Amonkhet native walker. These retcons are getting ridiculous and its not as though the native walkers ever get expanded upon. Just kind of ridiculous imho.
Seems fake. Kind of reminds me of the original Tamiyo too. + helps protect the Planeswalker and sets up for card draw, - does card draw X based on an effect the + does, Ultimate returns things to your hand. Unlike Tamiyo though the fake Nissa only does Creatures, and doesn't grant you an infinite hand size.
Just doesn't seem super... Nissa at all, or Green much in general.
Yeah the last ability would need to say "If a creature you control with a counter on it would be put in your graveyard, put it into your hand instead." As this would fix the control-but-don't-own problem. But, while cool, doesn't seem legit.

Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
