@Pendulous: Perhaps you're missing the fact that the -7 takes six turns at least to activate and Nissa will never survive that long. Plus the other two abilities are weak.

You dont need to run her in an elf deck, just run x3 with x4 chosen.
Lol at the low rating. But whens the last time you included a planeswalker because of the ultimate? This generates creatures and keeps your health points up.

@Lifegainwithabite: Please, this is elves we're talking about here. In a proper deck, you've got maaaaybe half a turn to interact with her before the board is so clogged up with chump blockers* that you can't do anything. Then you get her ult off, and.... Game over man, GAME OVER!
*Joraga Warcaller says they're only chump blockers if you want them to be

I am also a huge fan of Elves. I am almost done collecting every English printing. When Nissa dropped, so did my jaw. I have built many decks around her. I don't like that she isn't as versatile as other walkers. It's quite annoying in fact. Hopefully she will get a new card, or at least a new printing. The whole controversy about her having cleavage was a bit dramatic. Especially with cards out there like the original Serra Angel, Disciple of Grace, or the Hero of Bladehold promo. Even Tibalt got a V.S. deck. Come on Magic. Something?

I love this card. It's the only Planeswalker with such a narrow use, except Tibalt, who has none, but the strongest win-con in my casual elf deck. Her first ability is a recurring blocker, if her second ability resolves even once, I become nigh unkillable, and her final flat out wins, though for Vorthosian reasons, (mainly that I love the character, and can't bear to see her in my Yard,) I will never use it unless she's at 8 counters. Seriously, if she was real, I would marry this woman. If we don't get a new version of her in the next few years, I will be extraordinarily disappointed. My two best friends feel the same way about Chandra and Elspeth, and both of them got reprints recently. I mean, this is a large part of our meta. They have Chandra and Elspeth decks. I have a Nissa deck. They can build more decks around their new versions. I can sit here dreaming of more Nissa.

4 Wirewood Guardians

On paper, +1: Make a 2/3 looks pretty decent - after all...
4 mana garruk makes a 2/2 for +0
4 Mana garruk makes 3/3 for -1, and
5 mana garruk makes 3/3 for +1
The problem here is not that she starts at 2 loyalty (and immediately goes up to 3, then gains +1 in all subsequent turns).
The problem is that to use her only real card advantage ability (at -7, the ulti has no bearing on the playability of the card) requires you to have a 2 mana 2/3 french-vanilla in your library. And in a competitive deck, this is simply unacceptable.
I bet if the +1 had said "put a 2/3 token named Nissa's Chosen onto the battlefield", this card would easily have overtaken the "4 mana Garruk that makes a 3/3 for -1". The comparison wouldn't even be close.
