Nissa, Nature's Artisan card art
Nissa, Nature's Artisan lands and immediately puts two +1/+1 counters on each creature you control — that's a board-wide pump that can close games or set up a lethal attack the same turn she enters. At six mana, she's asking a lot, and Avid Reclaimer she is not when it comes to immediate card advantage, so she earns her slot only in counter-heavy strategies that can actually exploit the anthem effect.

pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Nissa, Nature's Artisan is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive demand in those 60-card formats is effectively zero — six mana for a creature-pump effect without card draw or board protection doesn't clear the bar. Commander is the only realistic home, and even there she's a role-player in dedicated +1/+1 counter builds rather than a generalist green staple.
