Nissa, Vital Force

Green Draw Mechanic History

How long as green card draw tied to land been a break? Nissa, Vital Force's ultimate gives you an emblem that does that and that was from Kaladesh which seems pretty recent. Was it a break at the time or has the pie shifted since?

I believe it was a break at the time.

Green Card Draw Error

Nissa, Vital Force is monogreen and lets you draw cards with no creatures on the battlefield just by playing lands. Is that also a mistake, or is green allowed to tie card draw to lands as well as creatures?

That is a mistake. We experimented a little with card draw tied to land, but that’s no different than just card draw, so we backed off.

Land Card Drawing Issue

Hi Mark, so if land card drawing is considered a mistake, does that include newer cards like Tireless Tracker or standard Nissa, Vital Force emblem (landfall=draw a card)?

Yes.
