Forest

The Forest card, numbered 269 in the Magic Origins set released by Wizards of the Coast in 2015, serves as a quintessential basic land within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Magic Origins was designed as the final core set for the game, intended to bridge the narrative gap between a player's introduction to the game and the deep, complex lore of the multiverse by focusing on the origin stories of five specific Planeswalkers. As a fundamental resource card, this Forest provides green mana and is essential for the mechanics of decks utilizing forest-aligned spells.

The visual identity of this card is defined by its atmospheric landscape, which was illustrated by artist Jonas De Ro. Following the aesthetic direction of the set, the art emphasizes the mystical and primordial nature of the plane, employing a rich color palette and dramatic lighting to convey a sense of natural wonder. This particular iteration was well-received by players for its immersive digital painting style, which helped establish the visual tone for the set’s exploration of early character development and world-building.
