Rationale
3cmc legendary elf scout creature that transforms into a planeswalker. Front side ETBs and searches for a basic land; back side Nissa, Sage Animist locks down lands and creates token creatures. Signature in green ramp/midrange/lands-matter shells. Requires hand-density (land in hand to search) and is vulnerable to removal before flipping.
