Provenance

Where it came from

The Forest card from the 2017 Magic: The Gathering set Unstable was designed as part of a series of full-art basic lands created to highlight the unique visual identity of the Un-sets. These sets are intentionally designed for casual, silver-bordered gameplay, allowing artists more creative freedom than in standard expansions. This specific card was illustrated by John Avon, a prolific Magic artist renowned for his lush, atmospheric landscape paintings.

Avon aimed to capture a panoramic, high-fantasy aesthetic that pushed the boundaries of traditional card framing. By utilizing the full-art treatment, the design removes the standard text boxes, allowing the illustration to bleed to the edge of the card. Upon its release, the card was widely praised within the collecting community for its immersive composition and remains one of the most sought-after basic lands for players looking to customize their decks.
