# Forest (Magic 2012) Forest is a basic land that defines green mana in Magic. The M12 version holds modest collector interest primarily through its artwork and foil availability. Collectors typically pursue basic lands selectively rather than comprehensively, focusing on aesthetically appealing or thematically significant printings. The foil variant commands slightly more attention than nonfoil copies, though neither commands significant premiums. M12 Forests appeal mainly to players building decks and casual collectors who appreciate the set's particular illustration style. These cards remain affordable and accessible, making them practical for anyone seeking complete foil sets or specific artwork preferences without investment concerns.
