I know it wouldn't have been efficient, but I would have played all copies just cuz I could. May never get another opportunity to play that many planswalkers in a limited deck.
With how big of a bomb Nissa is and the fact you could play a her for 5 mana, I think you do win more games running 5 copies in limited than you do if you don't.
You guarantee you'll draw your bomb in nearly 100% of games. Just play mono green at that point and draw the game out till you can slam Nissa back to back.
I thought it was only legal to have 4 copies of a card in a deck, unless otherwise started on the card. What format allows 5? Or is it a Planeswalker thing?
In a limited format because its a limited cardpool (6 packs for pre release / sealed or 3 packs for draft) you are allowed to play as many of a single card you have opened/picked

For 5 mana you get a 4/4, but yes its a great card.
Even if it weren't a great card, I think the humor value of running 5 identical bomb mythics makes playing all 5 the right choice anyways.
Right. That was by far one of the luckiest pulls I've ever seen in limited other than the guy to my right one opened 2 mana crypts while I opened poop.dude was cool as hell and passed one to me after the draft. I had him sign it for me so I can never trade it.
Bruh. You play all 5. Could you imagine if your opponents somehow killed 4 and you slammed the 5th? I had a pre release where someone got 3 gideons ally of zendikar. Needless to say, he won the prerelease with no troubles.
That reminds me of the luck I had yesterday night - I pulled a prerelease [[Sword of Forge and Frontier]], and then pulled another regular version in my last pack. Regardless, congratulations on whatever the fuck this is!
I need that luck, trying to build a commander planewalker deck , don’t have enough planewalkers. Remember m15 getting one planewalker getting in the top 4.
Every person at my locals commented on wierd draws this time. Saw one guy that didn't get a single white card and another with the same 5 black or blue cards at the front of every pack.
Maybe whatever shuffling they do at the packing stage needs a look because i don't recall it being this strange in a hot minute.
To be fair I went 2-1 in my prerelease, 2-0 my first and third games but my second game I played a guy who ran golgari and pulled nissa and her got her out early both games and stomped my guts in. Cards incredible in limited.
If you didn’t just go for Green and whatever color had the best removal I will be upset, did you? I had 2 Walkers, Nissa and Lukka and yes obviously, I did play them both as I had enough Red Green to make an oil-proliferate-walker deck
I would call cap but the fella next to me during prerelease got 2 Jaces in the same pack and was missing a rare in another. So WoTC being a meme again.
so you played a mono blue deck right?
Those were the only green cards they pulled.
Strange that op never used a single forest and still used those
I know it wouldn't have been efficient, but I would have played all copies just cuz I could. May never get another opportunity to play that many planswalkers in a limited deck.

Buy all of them in your area and set the price.

At limited (drafts, prereleases...) There is no Maximum limit of the same card As long as you have the same card multiple times in your draft pool
In a limited format because its a limited cardpool (6 packs for pre release / sealed or 3 packs for draft) you are allowed to play as many of a single card you have opened/picked

Playing all 5 is the correct choice. At the very least you have a 7/7 for 5 mana each.
I agree playing all five is correct. You do get a 4/4 when you play them at five though.
For 5 mana you get a 4/4, but yes its a great card. Even if it weren't a great card, I think the humor value of running 5 identical bomb mythics makes playing all 5 the right choice anyways.
But its a +1 loyalty ability and she hits the floor with 5, for 5 mana. So should her tokens be 6/6 for 5 mana?
Compleated is -2 **per** phyrexian paid, so if you pay 5 mana/4life, she comes in with 7-2-2=3, then ticks up for a 4/4
Ah missed that part.
I too missed that part.
Did you get the rare dice too?
Nope blue numbers on black
Mine were green on black. Were the rare ones the red on white?
The red on white phyrexian text yep!
I got yellow on black!
Aww.. I mean you already hit the jackpot, but a little more icing would have been cool.
I got vraska and the rare dice. But I wanted Nissa, for my main commander deck badly so I'm jealous of OP.
Right. That was by far one of the luckiest pulls I've ever seen in limited other than the guy to my right one opened 2 mana crypts while I opened poop.dude was cool as hell and passed one to me after the draft. I had him sign it for me so I can never trade it.
I got the cum die but not much in the boosters themselves. Only impressive thing I got was a jace (did win by milling a couple times tho)
Now I know why I didn’t get a mythic this weekend.
Factsss
He caught them all.
Holy crap baskets
I mean I wouldnt be sad but id be kinda sad?
In a 40 card deck how many of these is correct to play? 🤣
5 IMO lol. The card can win games on its own, at that point you're guaranteeing you see it at some point.
I did the 3 I could read
Bruh. You play all 5. Could you imagine if your opponents somehow killed 4 and you slammed the 5th? I had a pre release where someone got 3 gideons ally of zendikar. Needless to say, he won the prerelease with no troubles.
I played 1 and it was absurd. I would say you stop including them once you hit like 8 maybe. Maybe 12 if you had some really good early game.
*"More of that strange animist… It’s probably nothing."*
All from one pack?
They were from my single pre-release pack but we're in different individual packs. Edit for clarity as I am exhausted
Prerelease kit* ;)
Not sure if this shows the collation machine is more or less random - hmm
That reminds me of the luck I had yesterday night - I pulled a prerelease [[Sword of Forge and Frontier]], and then pulled another regular version in my last pack. Regardless, congratulations on whatever the fuck this is!

Did you drop a single game?
Yes lost a round when I got stuck at three lands for two games in a row
RobloxOof.mp4
Could you legally play all of them in a limited setting?
Yes you can play any and all cards in your limited pool.
Like Japudi. But Nissa
NISSA
Did you play green?
How else was your green?
Pretty bad other than that had to round it out with black
So here's where all the Nissa's went lol ive opened quite a bit and haven't even gotten her art card lol
what the actual f...?
Damn and I thought I got lucky with my 2 Nissas and 1 Vraska
I need that luck, trying to build a commander planewalker deck , don’t have enough planewalkers. Remember m15 getting one planewalker getting in the top 4.
I got maybe two rares in my packs all were commons and uncommons
Can I get one? LOL
That's where the rares went at my LGS, we had 2 kits get get on 1 or 2 rares
Odd. I pulled 2 Elesh Norns from a booster pack, but I haven't seen this.
Aw man, no phyrexian die
You should start a charity business
That's as many as our whole store, with 16 people, had! Ended up playing against two of the Nissas lol.

idk about draft packs but I'm seeing a lot of mono colored rarity set boosters -- which doesn't matter if you're cracking a box at a time
I'm not super clued in on limited formats, but I think I'm getting some mono-green vibes from this one.
I really hope you played them
Lol imagine getting passed a phyrexian language card in draft and not being able to read what it says
To be fair I went 2-1 in my prerelease, 2-0 my first and third games but my second game I played a guy who ran golgari and pulled nissa and her got her out early both games and stomped my guts in. Cards incredible in limited.
Now I see why the rare slot in my prerelease packs sucked. 😂 Grats on the amazing pulls.
Since you have 5 of her, I’d be happy to take one off your hands mate 👌🏼
So are the cards in phyrexian playable? This may be common knowledge, but I don’t understand them or how you play them
Hmm id play black splashing blue with that pool
I pulled two in my box, they must be clumped together
A full Nissa play set. Wild.
If you didn’t just go for Green and whatever color had the best removal I will be upset, did you? I had 2 Walkers, Nissa and Lukka and yes obviously, I did play them both as I had enough Red Green to make an oil-proliferate-walker deck
Poor poor enemies...
Git gud for me xD
Jfc and my prerelease pack had the worst pool I’ve ever seen :(
This corroborates a number of other claims that this set didn't get sorted right... Glad I'm skipping this one
I womder how many nissas are too many nissas in limited
I would call cap but the fella next to me during prerelease got 2 Jaces in the same pack and was missing a rare in another. So WoTC being a meme again.
You got one of mine, it's okay, I'll send you whatever bulk rare you were supposed to get
They look curled af
Just the one second from the right it's curled because of the foiling
Sometimes Wizards like to wreak havoc on a random Friday Night Magic
You need to cast him in 2 languages in order for him to work
Phyrexia took their time on Nissa.
2 Phyrexian pulls, 2 default art and 1 borderless? Damn. I hope I get the same luck.
The second from the right is foil. That's why it's a little bit curled
No fucking way
Its probably nothing.
Nothing to see here. Just normal random distributions 🤪
Nissa like: My intelligence sometimes scares me
Buy all of them in your area and set the price
I honestly don't believe this... Until there is at least another that shows up
