<p>Yes, it will be destroyed by having sufficient damage on it. Also, <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bTerror%5d">Terror</a> ('Destroy target creature.') will work just fine.</p>

Dammit then my opponent was right. Guess I have to apologize to him. Thank you.

<p>I want to ask about the +1 ability of <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bNissa%2c%20Vital%20Force%5d">Nissa, Vital Force</a>.</p>

<p>If the creature (that was the untapped land) dies from combat damage or any other effects, is the land removed from battlefield afterwards? Usually I´d say yes, but the card explicitly says <code>It´s still a land</code>.</p>

<p>If it is removed, then can I bring the land back with the -3 ability?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

You can also destroy lands that aren't creatures.

# Nissa - Vital Force, does the land that becomes a creature can get destroyed?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-05-24)

I want to ask about the +1 ability of [Nissa, Vital Force](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bNissa%2c%20Vital%20Force%5d).

If the creature (that was the untapped land) dies from combat damage or any other effects, is the land removed from battlefield afterwards? Usually I´d say yes, but the card explicitly says `It´s still a land`.

If it is removed, then can I bring the land back with the -3 ability?

Thank you.

Yes, it will be destroyed by having sufficient damage on it. Also, [Terror](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bTerror%5d) ('Destroy target creature.') will work just fine.

The text:

> 'It is still a land'

signifies that it can still tap for mana and that it is affected by spells and abilities that target lands (ie: 'Destroy target land').

Once it is removed from the battlefield, the card becomes just a land card. Since lands are permanents, you can target them with Nissa's -3 ability.
