Nissa is a very cool planeswalker! Thanks for making this lore video, seiben! It really is much easier than reading the lore myself, plus it is way more interesting to learn it in video form!
Nissa has a very unique story in my view. It's interesting to see how she develops from just wanting to save her tribe, her home world and then the whole multi-verse. I think she could be a part of many different future story-lines with her playing this protector role. Most of the other planeswalkers are using their abilities for personal gains or just for the betterment of themselves. Nissa started out that way but it seems like now that she played a huge role in releasing the Eldrazi she is taken it upon herself to protect the whole multi-verse. I look forward to the day Nissa reunites with Sorin. That'll be a fun little back and forth haha
Thank you for taking time to make these videos! Please, can you do a video for all non Origins planeswalkers that you've done? Or some of them? i speak for a lot of people who would want that.
It sure is...Nahiri, Sorin and Ugin did their best and Nissa's been trying to heal and protect, Zendikar from the foul-Galactus-like beings since she was a part of their reemergence so she deserves to redeem herself by being integral to at least one of the 3 Eldrazi lords...Hopefully Ob Nixilis and Nicol Bolas don't interfere.
Nissa is definitely one of the coolest planeswalkers, along with Gideon and Ajani (in my opinion) and her new origins story is quite similar to the old one i think and im really hoping hey add her in the Battle for Zendikar set
Nissa is great in an Elf deck. I wonder if she will return in time to help Sorin and Ugin stop the eldrazi. I wonder if they might kill most of them this time as well.
Hoping to pull Nissa during my prerelease tomorrow.If I don't,I will be heartbroken.I love Nissa.Favorite Planeswalker in general.I don't want my hopes and dreams to be crushed like usual.
never knew she went to Lorwyn, that's interesting and even more how MTG has so many variant versions of elves and goblins and more; also found out that vampires from Innistrad dont like Sorin (check his story) :)
Gideon,Sorin, and Nissa all fighting Eldrazi together...... sounds amazing i hope that happens....... I think Ugin may join the fight also. I think Nicol Bolas is also gonna be mixed up in this somehow
Honestly, for as much as I like characters like her, what she did when Sorin was trying to fix the seal on the Eldrazi was so insanely idiotic I am just waiting for her to bite the bullet or somehow redeem herself.Seriously, what did she even think she was accomplishing there?
how is it idiotic ? she comes from a tribe village in a world where destroying/killing something which means its death in her world. so your saying if u were in her place not knowin anything about those creatures. youd pick sealing them over destroying them when you have the chance ? fml.
It was stated in the vid that re sealing the Eldrazi would only cause it to consume the world from the inside out and the land would remain in pain. That, and her cultural beliefs as a child probably lead her to that choice. But yea, I can see how dumb that choice was.
0:15 immediate correction i detest Nissa she is selfish betrayer and deserves and tragic ending she earned for herself. :D I love your video glad you made it, the pictures to it are grate
seibenlore After SDCC, it sounds like they're definately going to be showing up a lot more often. Seeing Gideon on the art of Battle makes me hope he gets printed again. If they can make it as fun as Origins felt at the pre-release, the future magic could be a lot more awesome. :)
seibenlore After hearing Sorin´s Lore (i watched your Sorin Video xDD) I really disliked her... Because i thougt she was so simple minded and easy to trick... she gave me a similar I got when i watched the final of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy were Froddo is supposed to throw the Ring in the Fire of Mount Doom and he just turns around on the spot and wants to keep the ring for himself, in that scene I thougt: "You´re sooo dumb, I honestly can´t believe how stupid you are!!!!". I thougt the same thing of Nissa until now
I mainly want to see what mechanic they will use if they bring the Eldrazi back for that set. My friend actually has Emacrel that ungodly powerful creature. Annihilator 10... I'm very traumatized by that...
evisen P Well sorin uses magic which drains life, and nissa uses life magic...... It's hard to say. I would think Sorin simply because he has lived for countless more years and has more experience as a planeswalker.
I saw some complaints about the walkers becoming to similar, but I disagree. Nissa is the perfect example of that. She stands out from her peers in many ways.
Matthew Lewis She wont have to. If Gideon shows up (which they are talking about) he can exile. However there are other ways to kill indestructible Creatures unless they have hex proof. I honestly think that the Multiverse does have the tools to destroy the eldrazi for good. Nissa is indeed one of my favorite walkers. And now that her Origin story is out I cant wait to see what will be happening to Zendikar.
Didn't she unleash the eldrazi and refuse to help stop them? and then after the amonket bolas battle abandon the gatewatch because she didn't want see any more destroyed planes? So unleash a multiversal threat that would eat your plane any way and dont help the dragon verison of thanos... right
Sorin, Black/White, for greater good. Nissa, Green, protects her people and herself. Quite tragic that Nissa's naivety became her own downfall. I used to think that she's a haughty elitist, I'm not really sure if she's one...? Well, I'm starting to like Nissa more now, after all Green is one of my favorite colors.
Never stop doing these. I looked forward you hearing all this lore every week. Just wanted to say thank you, and keep up the amazing work!

this was a great video, I learned a lot about one of my favorite characters. also gotta say that this was a great bed time story
Seiben I would just like to say man that I have enjoyed your videos and hope to see your channel grow.
OsgodTheViking Thanks that means a lot! Thanks for the support!
Glad I got to see this. I was unaware of Nissa's motivations
***** Glad I could provide it!
Excelent quality and story telling.
Oscar Robalino I try! Thank you
These planeswalker videos are great keep up the work
Thank you for taking time to make these videos! Please, can you do a video for all non Origins planeswalkers that you've done? Or some of them? i speak for a lot of people who would want that.
I can't wait till we go back to zendikar keep up the work love your videos
Nissa has an awesome story. Thnx for rhe vid!
adirtybirdy T No prob! Thanks for the support!
Love your vids man!
ara9715 Thanks!
Wow so many references to magic origins also great art choices :)
I read nissa's lore already but I still watch your videos because I enjoy your lore videos
TCGBattling Master Thank you i appreciate it!
seibenlore Where do you find all the lore at I have read the page on Nissa's origins. But where did you find all the extras stuff involving Sorin?
Nice video enjoyed the lore
Love your videos!
Annkasan Thank you!
Today on "Planeswalkers just fuck everything up even more while trying to save the day": Nissa
I look forward to Nissa's role in Battle for Zendikar...I am certain she will at least be able to help seal the Eldrazi...if not defeat Ulamog.
PandaJohn71 I'm thinking a destruction of one of those things is well over do.
It sure is...Nahiri, Sorin and Ugin did their best and Nissa's been trying to heal and protect, Zendikar from the foul-Galactus-like beings since she was a part of their reemergence so she deserves to redeem herself by being integral to at least one of the 3 Eldrazi lords...Hopefully Ob Nixilis and Nicol Bolas don't interfere.
What was the card art that you showed when Mazik entered the story?
Nissa is definitely one of the coolest planeswalkers, along with Gideon and Ajani (in my opinion) and her new origins story is quite similar to the old one i think and im really hoping hey add her in the Battle for Zendikar set
Cant wait to get back to zendikar!
Lorwyn seems liked a messed up place.
Ty Sylicus It is lol, i'm gonna do a video on it soon!
seibenlore
Sounds good. I don't know much about the Plane, or why I should even concern myself.
seibenlore do you have a tezzeret video planned cuz hes got some lore
seibenlore YEY! Are you going to do a full set history video? I really like ashling
really like her lore hope everyone enjoys it
Flavio Silva I certainly did.
elves make a come back in origins, should be cool to see them in action with the new and hopefully the old Nissa ;)
Yes awesome lore story!
I quite like the new lore it gives a reason why nissa would be in the state of mind to release the eldrazi rather then seal them
Great Job
Good to know, I wonder how she's going to be used in Battle for Zendikar?
So does she fight with a bow staff sword or magic? I've seen all of them and really want to know
xlblackswordlx She fights with a vine sword, kinda like a walking stick of staff which turns into a sword. But mainly she just uses nature magic.
Nissa is great in an Elf deck. I wonder if she will return in time to help Sorin and Ugin stop the eldrazi. I wonder if they might kill most of them this time as well.
Anthony Huggins Who knows, all I'm sure of is that we will see a lot of different character interactions come that set.
Battle for Zendikar, will be a good Edition:)
a good new story for nissa.
Hoping to pull Nissa during my prerelease tomorrow.If I don't,I will be heartbroken.I love Nissa.Favorite Planeswalker in general.I don't want my hopes and dreams to be crushed like usual.
did you end up pulling her? lol im 4 years late but i want to know..
Gg dude and keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Battle for Zendikar is gonna be awesome. And Nissa is really cool. I may even prefer her to Garruk.
William Josh McCarthy They are two different types of walkers, so I'm cool with both.
never knew she went to Lorwyn, that's interesting and even more how MTG has so many variant versions of elves and goblins and more; also found out that vampires from Innistrad dont like Sorin (check his story) :)
I love nissa and her story
So exited for the battle of zendikar
alex richman Me too!
I would love to get a Nissa! also, lore from lorwn would be awesome!
I have gained so much life off of Nissa's second ability.
Shaggy Rodgers So lucky!
that story was cool
Can't wait for battle of zendikar an magic origins
I wanna do an elf deck with her
Was that the old or new lore for Nissa in the beginning?
striderkiwi2 Up to the part where Nissa became a planeswalker was from Origins. The rest of it is old.
striderkiwi2 Her new lore from Magic Origins.
So what happened to Dwynen?
do the war between bant, jund, grixis, naya, and esper
Kyle Jones hidden gun Ive kind of covered it in my video on Alara here: ruclips.net/video/qUDlGWAwb10/видео.html
Next to Liliana's origin story, this one is my favorite. It's one of the least retconed out of all of them.
Steven Vaughn That's true, mainly because there was almost no backstory to begin with.
Awesome Story :D
She'll go great with my Karametra EDH deck.
Allways liked elves in Magic! :D
Gideon,Sorin, and Nissa all fighting Eldrazi together...... sounds amazing i hope that happens....... I think Ugin may join the fight also. I think Nicol Bolas is also gonna be mixed up in this somehow
Honestly, for as much as I like characters like her, what she did when Sorin was trying to fix the seal on the Eldrazi was so insanely idiotic I am just waiting for her to bite the bullet or somehow redeem herself.Seriously, what did she even think she was accomplishing there?
+Gogito4 Like the video said, she thought they would leave Zendikar once they were free.
XavierKaziTheZombie Which is an insanely idiotic way of thinking considering she had nothing proving or even hinting at that conclusion.
how is it idiotic ? she comes from a tribe village in a world where destroying/killing something which means its death in her world. so your saying if u were in her place not knowin anything about those creatures. youd pick sealing them over destroying them when you have the chance ? fml.
she has brought to us insanelly good cards like kozilek, ulamog etc
It was stated in the vid that re sealing the Eldrazi would only cause it to consume the world from the inside out and the land would remain in pain. That, and her cultural beliefs as a child probably lead her to that choice. But yea, I can see how dumb that choice was.
Is it sad that I can associate all of the art you used to their cards?
not at all. mind listing them? lol
Where is he finding this lore is their books?
I'm excited hopefully its epic
Sweet lore, looking forward to BFZ
This Nissa is so fucking awesome i want to play it so bad
0:15 immediate correction i detest Nissa she is selfish betrayer and deserves and tragic ending she earned for herself. :D I love your video glad you made it, the pictures to it are grate
Wooo!
With battle for zendikar coming, anyone else think we could see Gideon or Nissa printed again right away? How about more elves?
linksfood It's hard to say. i'm pretty sure Nissa and Gideon will both be involved. Yet that dosnt mean they will get a printing.
seibenlore After SDCC, it sounds like they're definately going to be showing up a lot more often. Seeing Gideon on the art of Battle makes me hope he gets printed again. If they can make it as fun as Origins felt at the pre-release, the future magic could be a lot more awesome. :)
OMG now that i´ve heard her lore she´s soooo much more likable to mee than before...
***** I feel thats the way for a lot of characters in this game.
seibenlore After hearing Sorin´s Lore (i watched your Sorin Video xDD) I really disliked her... Because i thougt she was so simple minded and easy to trick... she gave me a similar I got when i watched the final of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy were Froddo is supposed to throw the Ring in the Fire of Mount Doom and he just turns around on the spot and wants to keep the ring for himself, in that scene I thougt: "You´re sooo dumb, I honestly can´t believe how stupid you are!!!!". I thougt the same thing of Nissa until now
I really hope landfall returns in bfz as her new card could work really well with it.
That's kinda cool
World Waker *Epic Voice*
patrick tatum Haha thanks
My waiting is over
DerpLord Snuffy Glad to finally satisfy your curiosity.
so did she ever defeat Ulamog?
Which is your favorite origin story?
DylanSon2 Mine personally was Jace's, but Nissa's was nice as well.
I can't wait until the battle for Zendikar now.
ScorpianStrike Me either! Magic Origins was fun story wise, but I need more Zendikar!
I mainly want to see what mechanic they will use if they bring the Eldrazi back for that set. My friend actually has Emacrel that ungodly powerful creature. Annihilator 10... I'm very traumatized by that...
Besides we all need more Zendikar and dat lore. Lol.
Who would win in a battle Sorin or Nissa?
evisen P Well sorin uses magic which drains life, and nissa uses life magic...... It's hard to say. I would think Sorin simply because he has lived for countless more years and has more experience as a planeswalker.
Aether Hub and Sorin has better combat skills, especially being a vam
Nissa Revane is awesome.
Nissa's plus 1 though, it's so good.
Josh Lyman agreed!
Nissa is my favorite planeswalker.
I saw some complaints about the walkers becoming to similar, but I disagree. Nissa is the perfect example of that. She stands out from her peers in many ways.
Nissa is awesome
so good
nicholas schuchard Thank you!
Is there more extraplanar elvish planeswalkers?
Also, what's Melira doing on Zendikar? XD
Yes a planeswalker that Wotc has spent little time on, freyalise. She not nearly as powerful as nissa but a planeswalker non the less.
Michael Gibbons Well, with that reminder, correction: Freyalise is the god-like planeswalker from before the mending.
Michael Gibbons She's dead though, lore-wise.
You should do a video on Kiora
i want another boros planeswalker
I dont care how many elementals you throw at ulamog, it's not guna take it down... (indestructible) unless nissa finds some way to exile?
Matthew Lewis Haha I think its gonna take her and a few more walkers to bring him down.
Matthew Lewis She wont have to. If Gideon shows up (which they are talking about) he can exile. However there are other ways to kill indestructible Creatures unless they have hex proof. I honestly think that the Multiverse does have the tools to destroy the eldrazi for good. Nissa is indeed one of my favorite walkers. And now that her Origin story is out I cant wait to see what will be happening to Zendikar.
+Reketz The eldrazi don't have hexproof but they are unaffected by coloured magic.
+seibenlore ya for sure, wouldn't be the first time some of them team up, and it probably won't be the last.
+Matthew Lewis Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!
id like to see one on dragonlord kolaghan
cool!!
I was 4th and that makes me strangely happy :)
Nissa is my 3th fav
love elves
Didn't she unleash the eldrazi and refuse to help stop them? and then after the amonket bolas battle abandon the gatewatch because she didn't want see any more destroyed planes? So unleash a multiversal threat that would eat your plane any way and dont help the dragon verison of thanos... right
Nissa = badass elf
i am looking for help with a deck may someone help me
yea Nissa
To be honest MTG is pretty good waifu source material 😏
Sorin, Black/White, for greater good.
Nissa, Green, protects her people and herself.
Quite tragic that Nissa's naivety became her own downfall. I used to think that she's a haughty elitist, I'm not really sure if she's one...?
Well, I'm starting to like Nissa more now, after all Green is one of my favorite colors.
ya sorinand nissa are my favorite planes walkers
i love her :D
Nice
Doing good man.
Blighted Lord Thanks for the support!
Does this lore mean no emakruel?
RiseOfTheCreepers There is currently one eldrazi on zendikar, and thats Ulamog. The other two went back to the blind eternities.
does that mean he will return?
I would like to see more dragon lord lore ples!!
she is such a badass
Nissa really doesn't choose the best decisions until they really matter does she...
Interesting...
Nissa is ELF!
You should do progenitus lore
