Provenance

Where it came from

The Forest card from the Ixalan expansion was released by Wizards of the Coast in September 2017. As a basic land, it was designed to function as the foundation for deck construction within the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem, specifically reflecting the set’s thematic focus on a Mesoamerican-inspired plane filled with dinosaurs, pirates, and lush, untamed jungles.

The artwork for this specific iteration was created by Alayna Danner. She aimed to capture the vibrant, prehistoric atmosphere of Ixalan, utilizing a palette and perspective that emphasizes the dense, ancient canopy of the plane’s wild environments. Upon release, the card was widely appreciated for its immersive aesthetic, which successfully grounded the mechanical utility of a basic land within the set's unique narrative identity.
