About The Great Forest

The Great Forest, Plane — lorwyn, designed by Howard Lyon first released in Sep, 2009 in the set Planechase Planes and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 5.42.

The Great Forest card from Lorwyn Magic: The Gathering would benefit a deck focused on high-toughness creatures that can take advantage of the ability to assign combat damage based on toughness rather than power. However, there are potentially better cards like Doran, the Siege Tower, which provides a similar effect while also boosting the power of creatures with high toughness. While The Great Forest may have niche applications in certain decks, it may not see widespread play due to more powerful alternatives available.

Rules

10/01/09

A plane card is treated as if its text box included “When you roll , put this card on the bottom of its owner’s planar deck face down, then move the top card of your planar deck off that planar deck and turn it face up.” This is called the “planeswalking ability.”

10/01/09

The controller of a face-up plane card is the player designated as the “planar controller.” Normally, the planar controller is whoever the active player is. However, if the current planar controller would leave the game, instead the next player in turn order that wouldn’t leave the game becomes the planar controller, then the old planar controller leaves the game. The new planar controller retains that designation until they leave the game or a different player becomes the active player, whichever comes first.

10/01/09

The Great Forest’s first ability means, for example, that a 2/3 creature will assign 3 damage in combat instead of 2.
