# Forest (Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths) Forest is a basic land, so it appears in virtually every green deck ever printed. The Ikoria version matters primarily to collectors building complete sets or pursuing foil versions of every card in the set. Basic lands receive new artwork each set, making them natural targets for players who enjoy collecting different illustrations across Magic's history. The foil variant holds particular appeal since foil basics were less common in earlier Magic eras, making newer foil lands attractive to those seeking premium versions. Most collectors treat basic lands as necessary set-fillers rather than centerpieces, though the distinctive artwork from Ikoria's monster-focused theme may resonate with players who appreciate that set's aesthetic. Completionists typically acquire both versions without much deliberation.
