Seems pretty bad to me. Turn 4 you can attack with a 3/3 which you can't use to defend and the 'ultimate' is just bad Quicksilver Amulet which didn't see play when Blightsteel Colossus was in the format or last time when it was Thran's Temporal Gateway.
As a side note if this is the real card then it looks like fetchlands are definitely in the set as at 4 loyalty you can play this on turn 5 drop a fetch into another land and put a creature into play while keeping her at 1.
Let’s say it’s turn 6. You cast this spell, maintain priority, play a land, maintain priority, and slam down a 6 drop without paying its mana cost, without letting an opponent counter it, and while giving it a couple of counters.
This card gets better as the game goes on, though you need a land in hand to make this card worthwhile (as the +1 doesn’t actually protect this card).

How is it that people are still holding onto this theory when Wizards flatout said while discussing the reprinting of fetchlands later this year “While they will not be entering Standard in 2020,”
The Nissa looks underwhelming without being absolutely useless. So entirely possible.

Only problem here is that the landfall trigger has to resolve, so you can't hold priority like that.

Cause there's 2021. But in a more serious note Fetchlands doesn't mean reprints they could do something different like single type fetches or bringing the land in tapped that can give you 2 landfall triggers but not be the original cycle.
Could be interesting if true, it feels a little like a sorcery through the breach (without haste, but the card sticks around), that is if you have a land to follow up casting it. The design fun, it is effectively a planeswalker that has a cmc of 4, but will almost always be cast the turn after reaching 4 mana to get the landfall trigger and then ultimate.
She could also just be cast turn 4 without landfall and then untap a land to hold up a one mana interaction to try to protect her and then she can possibly ultimate the next turn when all your lands are untapped leaving you with all your mana open to try to stop the opponent from removing whatever you cheat into play.
I love it. Wish she was mono-green but I admire the landfall static ability. Should be amazing in Commander with cards like Evolution Sage and cultivate, traverse the outlands, harvest season etc.
I did see War of spark. There, only non mythic-walkers had less abilities though.
Good point on Ikoria Vivien !
She works for me though, cuz she has 3 active abilities.
Nissa would only have 1 d:(
I dont count -5, since many times it wont be available.
A way to drop 5 or more land in a turn would break this PW... too strong. Maybe a "landfall" limit of 3 or less would balance it out.
The more lands you're capable of putting into play, the less you need this card to cheat things out for you, I think. Doesn't look strong to me, unless you want to get in there with the 3/3 menace lands. This thing has Questing Beast to compete with.
There is a turn 5 play where you play this and then a land, and if the creature is both pretty thicc, and benefits from +1/+1 counters in some way, it could be solid.
Let’s say it’s turn 6. You cast this spell, maintain priority, play a land, maintain priority, and slam down a 6 drop without paying its mana cost, without letting an opponent counter it, and while giving it a couple of counters.

That people are judging the card solely on it's ability to drop creatures from hand is sad, because it misses the point of the black part outright reanimating dead creatures which in non-standard formats is more easily enabled.
anyway where’s the source

You never seen the war of the spark walkers have you?
There's walkers with just 1 ability or 2 abilities and Possibly a static ability and static became a new tool to use for walkers sometimes
Plus look at Vivien from ikoria

Hopefuly she wont be like that

What about something like:
T1 => Forest, Gilded Goose
T2 => Swamp, Asuza, Lost but Seeking
T3 => Forest, Swamp, Nissa, Fabled Passage, Crack&Fetch, Elder Gargaroth.
That's a good Xmasland. 9 cards, but you have an 8/8 Gargaroth on turn 3.
