Forest

# Forest (Portal) Portal's Forest is a straightforward basic land from Magic's introductory set, designed to teach new players the game's fundamentals. Collectors view it primarily through a nostalgic lens, valuing it as part of Portal's historical role in bringing Magic to casual audiences in the mid-1990s. The card itself holds modest appeal since basic lands were printed abundantly and see heavy play, making mint copies relatively uncommon compared to their print run. Portal's distinctive art and design philosophy make even common lands interesting to set collectors building complete Portal collections. The nonfoil version represents the standard printing, though Portal's overall scarcity compared to contemporary sets gives even basic lands some collector interest. Most value comes from completing a set rather than the card's individual merit.
