Nissa Revane Elf PW

~

You may recall this POST, where we caught news of a new Planeswalker by the name of Nissa Revane on video footage from Pro-Tour Berlin. We caught only a glimspe of her during a demo of the soon to be released Duels of the Planeswalker Xbox 360 game.

During other coverage at Berlin, Nissa was spotted again elfing it up and adorning a wall while the pros battled. BTsume was able to use some of his photoshoppery magic to provide a better view of her.


As Nissa's name was not on the passenger list of card names from this Conflux spoiler HERE, we can only assume that she may make an enterance in Alara Reborn or another future MTG set release.

From the still image above, it is rather obvious that Nissa is an Elf, and most likely Black and Green. As to her abilities, let the wild speculations begin . . . Here are mine.

Nissa Revane {b}{b}{g}{g}
Loyalty 4
+1 : Put a 1/1 black and green elf warrior creature token into play.
+1 : Target player loses 1 life and discards one card.
-8 : Target player sacrifices all creatures and loses life equal to each creature's toughness.

What do you think ? > > Leave a comment with your speculation . . .

NIssa - New Planeswalker

Berlin, Germany is the second stop in the 2008 Pro Tour season. During a piece of event coverage, we were provided with some spoilers of the new Duels of the Planeswalkers, to be released for XBox Live Arcade.

Adam Radstock, of Stainless games gave Brian David-Marshall a quick spin on the new game and also revealed a new Planeswalker in a tour of the game. The new Planewalker is Nissa Revane, and can clearly be seen as a choice in this video HERE.

Also, we have word of of a new MTG novel to be released on May 5, 2009. The title is 'Alara Unbroken', and is authored by Doug Beyer.

If I had to speculate (which this blog is all about), I would hazard a guess that this novel is just a 'one-off' sort of publication and meant only to be something of a companion tome to the 'Planewalker's Guide' to [fill in the blank]. I should think that from the title, we are given a glimpse as to what the plane of Alara may have looked like before (Nicol Bolas?) tore it apart. I am rather meh about the cover artwork and almost half-expect that this may change before its release.
