Provenance

Where it came from

The Forest card from the Magic 2013 (M13) core set was released in July 2012 as part of the foundational base set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Wizards of the Coast designed the M13 core set to balance accessibility for new players with thematic consistency for long-term fans, utilizing the core set as a recurring venue for high-quality, atmospheric land illustrations that ground the game's fantasy world.

This specific illustration, numbered 249, was crafted by artist John Avon, a veteran contributor to the game known for his lush, sweeping landscapes. Avon aimed to capture the dense, ethereal vitality of a primeval woodland, employing his signature style of vibrant color saturation and dramatic light filtering through the canopy. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the player base for its painterly quality, securing its place as a staple aesthetic in the M13 limited and constructed formats.
