Provenance

Where it came from

The Forest card, collector number 248, was released in 2010 as part of the Scars of Mirrodin expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set returned players to the plane of Mirrodin, a world forged of artificial metal, which was then being corrupted by the oily, biomechanical influence of the Phyrexians. The art direction for these basic lands was tasked with depicting the unique tension between the planet's original, metallic geography and the encroaching organic decay, serving as a visual narrative for the set's central conflict.

The artwork for this specific Forest was created by the artist Jung Park. In this piece, Park captures a desolate, jagged landscape that emphasizes the surreal fusion of nature and machinery characteristic of the Mirrodin plane. Upon its release, the set's aesthetic was widely praised by the community for effectively conveying the thematic horror of a world being overtaken, with the basic land cycle standing as a foundational element of the set's atmospheric world-building.
