If Kiora leaves the battlefield after her second ability is activated but before it resolves, you'll still be able to play an additional land after the ability resolves.
Feb 1, 2014
Kiora's first ability can target any permanent an opponent controls, not just one that can deal or be dealt damage.
Feb 1, 2014
Kiora's second ability allows you to play an additional land during your main phase. Doing so follows the normal timing rules for playing lands. In particular, you won't play a land as that ability resolves. The ability will fully resolve (and you'll draw a card, perhaps a land you'll play later) first.
Feb 1, 2014
Once the first ability resolves, the damage prevention continues to apply even if that permanent changes controllers.
Feb 1, 2014
The effect of the second ability is cumulative with other effects that let you play additional lands, such as the one from Rites of Flourishing.
