The long-awaited first release of the "Character" borderless version is here
Even if you weren't immediately boosted in this way, Nissa would still be pretty tricky to deal with, as she turns your lands into vigilant creatures that can attack and then block, right away
While no slouch in combat herself as a 5/4 creature, her ability triggers at the beginning of the combat step, rewarding you for each Human that's flocked to her banner
There are also excellent catch-all staples already present in the deck, like Beast Within and Krosan Grip, which will serve you very well here
