Forest

The Forest card, numbered 247, was released in 2010 as part of the Rise of the Eldrazi expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set served as the climactic conclusion to the three-part Zendikar block, designed to emphasize a shift from the adventure-focused exploration of the plane to the existential threat posed by the returning Eldrazi titans. As a basic land, this card functions as the fundamental resource for green-aligned decks, providing the mana necessary to cast spells and summon creatures.

The artwork for this specific Forest was rendered by artist Jung Park, who contributed several pieces to the set. Park’s design depicts a lush, towering landscape intended to evoke the primeval, untamed nature of the Zendikar plane. The visual style reflects the game's broader art direction at the time, which prioritized a sense of scale and otherworldly wonder to contrast with the impending mechanical and narrative corruption of the Eldrazi. It remains a recognizable staple for players who favored the aesthetic of the Zendikar block.
