Nissa, Vastwood Seer
Legendary Creature — Elf Scout
When Nissa enters, you may search your library for a basic Forest card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
Whenever a land you control enters, if you control seven or more lands, exile Nissa, then return her to the battlefield transformed under her owner's control.

−2: Create Ashaya, the Awoken World, a legendary 4/4 green Elemental creature token.
−7: Untap up to six target lands. They become 6/6 Elemental creatures. They're still lands.

You can control two of this permanent, one front-face up and the other back-face up, at the same time.
wotc8 Apr 2016
The back face of a double-faced card doesn't have a mana cost. A double-faced permanent with its back face up has a mana value equal to the mana value of its front face. Each back face has a color indicator that defines its color.
wotc22 Jun 2015
The back face of a double-faced card (in the case of Magic Origins, the planeswalker face) can't be cast.
wotc22 Jun 2015
If a land becomes a creature but hasn't continuously been under its controller's control since that player's most recent turn began, it won't be able to attack and its abilities with {T} in the cost (including mana abilities) won't be able to be activated. In other words, look at how long the permanent itself has been under your control, not how long it's been a creature.
wotc22 Jun 2015
The mana value of a double-faced card not on the battlefield is the mana value of its front face.
wotc22 Jun 2015
You can activate Nissa, Sage Animist's second ability even if you already control an Ashaya, the Awoken World. Just after the second token is created, you'll choose one to remain on the battlefield. The other will be put into your graveyard and subsequently cease to exist.
