Nissa Revane, New Planeswalker

George · 10-31-2008, 03:39 PM

In this video from Pro Tour Berlin Coverage, we see BDM and Randy Buehler trying out the new demo for Duels of the Planeswalkers.
After 1 minute, we see that among the planeswalkers you can play against there is Nissa Revane, a new planeswalker who was just announced for the game. She seems to be

, but we don't know much more.

Do you think it will get printed or it's just for the game?

Infinitium · 10-31-2008, 03:46 PM

Seeing as the other PW's have seen print and WotC wants to milk their franchise; Hell yes. Good catch.

Interesting. Note that she's not in the list of cards from Conflux. Perhaps she's the Alara Reborn PW

Nissa Revane sure has a lot of letters in common with Liliana Vess (all letters in common capitalized):

NISSA rEVAne
lilIANA VESS

Exact same number (11) of letters in the two names, and the two names, except for three letters ("enr" and "ill", respectively) are anagrams.

Which isn't surprising; rule of three pretty much confirms 'Walkers in Reborn.

I'm wondering it this means each color pair will see a 'Walker before the end of it, or are they not even going to bother distributing them evenly?

Can anyone make out the description on the left? I can make out a few words ("graceful" "she follows her people"), but not everything. I figure it might give us a better indication of her character and therefore what her (hypothetical) card may be like.

Ravarshi · 10-31-2008, 04:47 PM

she looks straight green to me. but as far as i can see. her "description" is very hard to make out. since i dont have any video editing software, and the fact that thier camera man really bites. i cant really make it out. but she looks to almost be like Garruk's Sister? at least green-ish in the same meaning as he is.. also, she does play swamps, but that doesn't nessicarily mean much. however it could be a hint towards her being

It looked like to me that both the Green and the black parts where colored in making her green/black. The thing is, not all of the planeswalkers on that list are from Shards so she might be from the next block. She could even be a video game exclusive planeswalker made just for that game. You really could read alot into what that guy was saying and his accent didn't help much.

There was this MTG comic (I think it's still there) on mtg.com (It's this one). This comic shows how Garruk, searching for a new challenge, begins to hunt Liliana... I have not seen an end yet, maybe there is a new one now... I have seen it a few weeks ago.
But there could be a connection

And Nissa is definetly

, it's not that difficult to see in the video

Sorry if the comic is German

But it should be easy to find the English version too...

brasswire · 10-31-2008, 05:38 PM

Nissa is definitely G/B. Her symbol looks to me like it has the black part filled in (although I admit it's tough to tell with black on a black background), and she plays Swamps in her deck. Plus Garruk is there and I don't see the point in having two mono-Green walkers.

All I can make out in her description is:

Quote:

... - ?nimble?, graceful, and
... jungle to be not just the
... of the natural world,
... Her allies are a ?vast?
...

japoniano · 10-31-2008, 05:57 PM

I'm pretty sure that in the video they say she's exclusive to the 360 game.

Can anyone figure out if she's on the big art behind them while they talk?

They say "currently exclusive", which doesn't help much.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's game exclusive - they need more opponents than the 9 planeswalkers we know (assuming colour pairs and mono, that's 15 opponents). There's no real reason why they can't make them up to fill in the gaps.

EDIT: Jace looks UB, so maybe it's just 10 pairs and she's the only new one.

jamesfnx · 10-31-2008, 06:27 PM

Jace's deck was mono-blue (and unavailable because Memory Erosion was in it) at PAX.

panos:) · 10-31-2008, 06:38 PM

From what i can figure out from the text:
Nissa is ... ... noble-...ble, graceful and
... . She ''believes''(?) her jungle to be not just the
... but the ... of the natural world,
and ... ... ... ... . Her allies are a vast
''elvish''(?) ... .

To give more cannon-fodder to the conspiracists, clearly she's Garruk's and Liliana's lovechild. Garruk was supposed to be "hunting" Liliana, if I recall correctly.
