The tale of Nissa Revane is an oddly human story once you look into the heart of this character and of the struggles she faced in order to find her herself. Over the course of her character arch we see Nissa change the composition of her colors and thorugh this we can learn a lot about her growth. The best part is that Magic the Gathering is full of these unique characters with captivating stories. So join me in dissecting Nissa through the use of the color pie in this MTG color study.

Loooooove Nissa, love her to bits. On the more subtle characterization side, outside her main arc, one interesting dimension to her is that she's incredibly relatable to autistic people. We see ourselves in her extreme uncertainty and anxiety with things like social conventions, and her pure joy when she's engaging with what she loves. It's just a really nice thing to see when you've spent your whole life learning to mask such things.

Interesting and great video. When I think about why certain colors are present in a planeswalker/character are present in cards, I usually think about what has change in the character and which new habit or attribute have they gained to deserve that color identity

Amazing video. Nissa is my favorite character of Magic's lore and you explained many aspects of her personality that many people doesn't observe. Nissa is a lonely person and always feel like an intrude when it have to deal with other planeswalkers. I as used to just hate the mistakes of war of sparks books, but nowadays the new people in charge of Magic's lore seems to use the mistakes in favor for an even complicated and enjoyable arc of grown to Nissa, and I'm glad they're have this confidence to not just make an easy excuse to delete that poor written mess, but use this in a meaningful way to show how I can be difficult to Nissa and Chandra get well together, even if they have (or had) feelings for each other

It was really fun to have MTGloreseekers involvement in this episode! This deeper look into Nissa as a character and how her color associations change over time wasvery enlightening. Once again, your video has inspired me to take a deeper look at one of my own characters and how his colors may have changed over his lifetime. Thanks again Dice!

Fascinating video and awesome collab to say the least. Definetevely one of my favourite characters alongside Elspeth, Saheeli, Garruk, Karn and Teferi. And yeah Jaya and Ajani. WotC seems to dislike/ is way too narrow-minded to deal with non human characters so I feel the worst for her, but I'm sure she will keep on adapting and dealing with the worse situations. Super awesome video and collab to say the least. Take care

So Niko's video would be...what? Two seconds long? All joking aside, this was well done. I like the idea of you branching out into more than just color theory, but now into character study. And Nissa has had quite the roller coaster of a journey for herself. Unlike with Jace, who I would classify as having something of a "hero's journey," Nissa instead has a journey of self-discovery. And you encapsulated that well with the challenges and obstacles she faced on that journey

This video makes me sad. It reminds one how deep and vast and thoughtful and creative MTG lore used to be before WotC changed their process to: "Which type of hat do we put on the characters before we let the random word generator create the 'stories'."

There may be little Story at this point from her being a relative new character, but what I'd like to see, is Kaya. She has an interesting path in my opinion and I find it interesting how her arch went so far with the gatewatch. A charakter with a little more story, but who seems to undergo some hard changes (literally) would be Tamiyo. I myself find it hard to understand the mentality of Green/Blue, which is why I'd love to see her explained.

@@DiceTry That's...slightly disappointing. I'm not even gay, and I thought the idea of Chandra and Nissa(or even her and Lillyana) as a thing wasn't necessarily bad, because being a gay couple didn't really affect the story in any way, as they were both good, well built characters that weren't defined in the story by their sexual orientation...so why anger so many people that WERE fans of such a non issue?

@@pkphantom it had to do with a managerial shift in wotc at the time (who is thankfully gone now, sorta, instead leading hasbro as a whole but has still lead to wotc being able to have more representation in their stories again recently) who wanted to broaden the appeal to a Chinese market. LGBT representation is not tolerated there so they axed it. 😔

This was a good video but I think you give Nissa a bit too much credit. I always saw her as more of a wishy washy person who acted more out of self interest. The releasing of the eldrazi was a perfect example of this she didnt care what the Eldrazi would do to other planes so long as they left her plane alone then when they continued to destroy her plane after freeing them only then did she start to "care" about the threat the Eldrazi posed.
