Provenance

Where it came from

Forest card 279 from the Core Set 2019 belongs to the long-standing tradition of basic lands in Magic: The Gathering, which serve as the essential resource cards for players. Released in July 2018, the Core Set 2019 was designed to provide a foundational entry point for new players while offering enough thematic depth to satisfy established fans. This specific iteration was curated to align with the set's broader narrative, which focused on the origin stories of iconic planeswalkers.

The artwork for this particular Forest was created by Adam Paquette, a frequent collaborator with Wizards of the Coast known for his expansive, atmospheric landscape illustrations. Paquette aimed to evoke a sense of primordial growth and tranquility, utilizing a rich, verdant color palette that emphasizes the grounding nature of the forest element within the game's mechanics. Upon release, this card was widely praised for its clean composition and the way it successfully updated a classic visual motif for modern printing techniques.
