Forest

The Forest card, numbered rl350, originated as part of the 2002 World Championship Decks released by Wizards of the Coast. This product line was designed to allow players to purchase exact replicas of the decks used by the top-placing professional competitors at the Magic: The Gathering World Championship. These cards are distinct from standard printings due to their gold-bordered backs and the signature of the player who utilized the deck in the tournament, making them ineligible for sanctioned tournament play but highly valued as historical mementos of professional competitive play.

The design of the card follows the aesthetic established by the Odyssey expansion set, from which the card was originally sourced. As a basic land, the illustration remains consistent with the artistic direction of the Odyssey block, which focused on the natural, often surreal landscapes of the Dominarian continent. Because these cards were intended to be functional proxies of high-level competitive decks, the printing preserved the original artist's credit and the cohesive visual identity of the set, serving as a functional record of the meta-game landscape during the 2002 tournament season.
