Nissa of Shadowed Boughs

Description

Nissa of Shadowed Boughs stands as a pivotal addition to the 2020 Zendikar Rising set, identified as card number 231 within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game catalog. This foil Mythic Rare Legendary Planeswalker card, illustrated by artist Yongjae Choi, captures the essence of the Black and Green color identity with a mana cost of {2}{B}{G} and a starting loyalty of 4. Collectors seeking high-rarity cards from this era appreciate the intricate design and mechanical depth that define this release. The card’s gameplay revolves around the Landfall ability, allowing players to place loyalty counters whenever a land enters the battlefield. Its +1 ability offers versatility by untapping a land and potentially transforming it into a 3/3 Elemental creature with haste and menace, while still retaining its land status. This unique duality makes the card a strategic asset in various deck archetypes. The -5 ability provides a powerful late-game finisher, enabling the player to put a creature card with a mana value less than or equal to the number of lands controlled onto the battlefield from their hand or graveyard, complete with two +1/+1 counters. The foil treatment adds a premium aesthetic to the card, enhancing its visual appeal for display or gameplay. Whether building a competitive deck or curating a high-end collection of Zendikar Rising cards, this Mythic Rare offers significant value and historical context within the Magic: The Gathering universe. The card’s enduring popularity stems from its robust abilities and the iconic status of the Nissa character in the game’s lore.
