    I actually like playing Avaricious Dragon (when I owned it in a prior account), Molten Vortex (after the update), and Zendikar's Incarnate. The last is exceptional when playing against green or white, it totally sucks to have it destroyed or turned into a frog by blue or black. I think Chandra has a pretty good setup - even Ignition could be useful if you happen to get it before Exquisite Firecraft.

    The Mythics for the other Planeswalkers I could take or leave; Gideon's Rares are far superior to his Mythics any day, and I actually prefer some of Jace's and Liliana's uncommons to higher-cost cards.

    Once it's on the board, Gaea's Revenge is a fine creature, but the amount of mana to cast it is huge. One of Nissa's greatest strengths is drawing extra cards with her first Loyalty ability. The best synergistic choices for her is pumping out low- and mid-cost creatures and spells. Gaea's Revenge clogs up my hand for 3 or more turns.

    Every turn I spend with 6 cards in hand, is a turn I'm losing an extra card from her loyalty ability. If I drop Gaea's Revenge out of my first spell slot to cast other creatures, then why did I put Gaea's Revenge in my deck in the first place?

    If we get a new green Planewalkers that, say, has a cheap loyalty ability that makes the maximum cost of all cards in my hand 15 mana, then Gaea's Revenge suddenly has a lot utility and becomes much more intriguing.

    Gaea's Revenge is absolutely not the worst mythic and it has the potential to be good in the future, but right now, it doesn't have any business being in a Nissa deck.

    By the way, there's currently a bug with Evolutionary Leap that causes the reinforce to be removed when the Support is destroyed. It shouldn't be like that, so we're looking to fix it in a future update.

    This is by far the most OP Mythic in the game.

    Still completely worthless for the cost.

    With the way green can convert gems and ramp mana, 20+ mana is nothing to be honest. Green AI routinely cascades the entire field before actually using the gem swap turn every time on me once it gets going.

    If a regular player uses green correctly, you can absolutely overwhelm your opponent quite easily.

    The problem with nissa mana gain through cascades is that it is unpredictable.
    If this game was based on a mana pool that you can spend on cards AFTER the gem match than slow cards would be much better.
    Cause that occasional cascade(still occasional on nissa no counting animist awakening) could be spent on the big card sitting there waiting for it.
    But this is not the case so any big mana investment, especially those with no immediate effect, is really hard to justify.

    Sure, it could be useful if I'm playing against a real opponent... but I'm not. I'm playing against an opponent who makes decisions worse than my 6 year old. And, if you include it in your deck, and I am matched with you, it's a guaranteed quick win because the AI overvalues the card and does nothing while it tries to cast it and I get a bunch of free turns.
