Nissa, the Steward of Elements
How does Nissa, Steward of Elements interact with Walking ballista? If she has X loyalty, does Walking Ballista come in on x/2 counters?
If Walking Ballista enters the battlefield without being cast, then X has no value and therefore it enters the battlefield with no counters on it and promptly dies the next time state-based actions are checked.
Walking Ballista doesn’t care about how many loyalty counters Nissa has. Walking Ballista’s CMC is 0 when it’s not on the stack. It doesn’t magically take on another value just because of Nissa’s ability.
