Forest

The Summer Magic expansion, often referred to as 'Edgar,' was released by Wizards of the Coast in 1994 as a corrective printing of the Revised Edition of Magic: The Gathering. Due to significant color inconsistency and print quality issues in the original Revised run, the company commissioned a new print batch intended to feature more vibrant, saturated colors. However, these cards were never officially released for retail sale; instead, they were largely distributed through a mistake at the factory where a small portion of the stock made its way into the supply chain.

The card artwork for the basic lands in this set, including this specific Forest, maintains the traditional aesthetic established in the Alpha and Beta sets, though the Summer Magic printing is distinguished by its unique color palette and a slightly altered copyright date on the footer. The design remains a cornerstone of Magic's early visual identity, created by the original illustrators to evoke the classic fantasy landscapes of the early 1990s. Today, these cards are highly sought after by collectors precisely because of their limited production and the specific history of the accidental release.
