Forest

The Forest card from the 1994 Revised Edition (often referred to as 3rd Edition) of Magic: The Gathering was released as part of the game's first core set to feature a unified, non-limited printing. Developed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, the Revised Edition served to standardize the rules and card pool for a rapidly growing player base following the success of the initial Alpha and Beta printings. It remains a cornerstone of the game's early history, marking the transition of Magic from a niche hobby into a global cultural phenomenon.

The artwork for this specific Forest features the distinctive, organic style associated with early Magic sets, characterized by a hand-painted aesthetic that grounded the game in traditional fantasy illustration. While the basic lands of this era were anonymous in their contribution, they were intentionally designed to be evocative and atmospheric, setting the visual tone for the five colors of mana. Revised Edition cards are easily distinguished by their bright, crisp white borders, a design choice intended to clearly differentiate them from the black-bordered limited editions that preceded them.
