Forest

The 2003 World Championship Decks were a limited-run product released by Wizards of the Coast to commemorate the top decks from the 2003 Magic: The Gathering World Championship. These decks were designed as a direct replica of the competitive lists piloted by the world's best players, allowing collectors to examine the exact card choices and configurations that defined high-level professional play during that era. Because these cards were intended for study and casual play rather than sanctioned tournament use, they feature a unique gold-border backing and the specific player's signature printed on the front.

The Forest card in this set utilizes the artwork by Rob Alexander, a staple illustrator for the game whose landscapes are celebrated for their atmospheric depth and classic fantasy aesthetic. The design is taken from the Onslaught expansion block, which served as the mechanical foundation for the 2003 tournament environment. While these cards are easily distinguished from standard-issue versions due to the commemorative gold border, they remain highly sought after by those documenting the evolution of competitive play and the history of card frame design.
