Provenance

Where it came from

The Forest card, numbered 271, was released as part of the Battle for Zendikar expansion for Magic: The Gathering in October 2015. This set marked a return to the adventure-themed plane of Zendikar, focusing on the struggle against the Eldrazi titans. The art direction for this set emphasized a world transformed by otherworldly corruption, aiming to contrast the natural vitality of Zendikar with the stark, desolate presence of the invading entities.

This specific Forest was illustrated by Noah Bradley, a prominent digital artist known for his atmospheric landscapes within the game. Bradley sought to capture the distinct, sweeping vistas characteristic of the plane, utilizing a vibrant color palette to depict the wilderness. Upon release, the land cards in this set were noted for their expansive, cinematic quality, contributing to the set's high regard among players who valued the visual identity of the Zendikar environment.
