Doran, Primal Rage 3BRG
Legendary Planeswalker - Doran
+2 Deal 2 damage to target creature. If damage dealt this way causes it to go to the graveyard, instead exile it and repeat the process once more but only once.

-12 Create an emblem that states: “Treefolk you control gain trample, haste and reach. They can also deal combat damage with their toughness instead of their power.”

The idea here is Nissa was part of the fight against Nicol Bolas. She was dealt a fatal blow but managed to planeswalk to Lorwyn but collapsed and died at the foot of Doran, this surrendered her spark to Doran. Doran sensed her pain and frustration and became enraged thinking Nicol Bolas was attempting to destroy all life.
Anyways, wildcard.
