Provenance

Where it came from

The Forest card, numbered 281, is part of the 'Tales of Middle-earth' set released for Magic: The Gathering in 2023. This set marked the first major integration of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the game under the Universes Beyond banner. The expansion was designed to capture the expansive geography and epic tone of Middle-earth, with basic lands specifically commissioned to represent iconic regions from the source material.

The illustration for this specific Forest card was created by artist Alayna Danner. Her design focuses on the tranquil, ancient atmosphere of the Elven realm of Lothlórien, utilizing a luminous color palette and ethereal architectural details to distinguish it from the more rugged forest landscapes featured elsewhere in the set. It was received positively by players for its faithful, evocative rendering of Tolkien’s world and its contribution to the set's high-fantasy aesthetic.
