Card Text
Legendary Creature — Elf Scout // Legendary Planeswalker — Nissa
When Nissa enters, you may search your library for a basic Forest card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
Whenever a land you control enters, if you control seven or more lands, exile Nissa, then return her to the battlefield transformed under her owner's control.
//
+1: Reveal the top card of your library. If it's a land card, put it onto the battlefield. Otherwise, put it into your hand.
−2: Create Ashaya, the Awoken World, a legendary 4/4 green Elemental creature token.
−7: Untap up to six target lands. They become 6/6 Elemental creatures. They're still lands.

Strategy Guides
Ramp Strategy Guide
Ramp decks are for players who want to spend the early game accelerating so later turns happen ahead of schedule. This strategy wants to build more mana than the table, using mana ramp EDH staples, extra land drops, dorks, and rocks, to win through earlier threats, large spells, or a resource lead opponents must answer. Ramp is different from Landfall because acceleration is the point, and different from Big Mana because it is the engine rather than the payoff. The best ramp commanders reward extra mana sources while still giving you something meaningful to cast.
Landfall Strategy Guide
Landfall decks are for players who want every land drop to become a trigger, not just another mana source. This strategy wants to put lands onto the battlefield repeatedly, using fetch lands, extra land drops, land recursion, and landfall commanders, to win through tokens, counters, damage, cards, or other lands matter decks EDH payoffs. In the Ramp, Landfall, and Big Mana cluster, Ramp accelerates mana, Big Mana spends that mana on huge spells, and Landfall treats the land entering as the engine itself. The deck feels like turning the most reliable game action into a chain of visible rewards.
