Provenance

Where it came from

The Forest card, designated 297, was released in 2016 as part of the Shadows over Innistrad expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set marked a return to the gothic horror-themed plane of Innistrad, following a narrative where the world is descending into madness caused by the corruption of the archangel Avacyn. The design of this landscape was intended to evoke the unsettling, overgrown, and eerie atmosphere characteristic of the plane's twisted wilderness.

The illustration for this specific card was crafted by artist Jonas De Ro. His work focuses on capturing the gloomy, shadowed aesthetic central to the Shadows over Innistrad visual identity, emphasizing dense, haunting vegetation to reinforce the set's unsettling tone. Upon release, the set was well-received by players for its immersive world-building and strong thematic cohesion, with the basic land art playing a critical role in establishing the visual setting for the expansion.
