please define forest

Asked by genuine139 9 years ago

I've seen, "as long as you control a forest," you can X, Y, or Z. But what is a forest? Is Tropical Island a forest? is Dryad Arbor or Wanderwine Hub a forest?

A Forest is any card with the basic land type "Forest."

Tropical Island , Breeding Pool , Dryad Arbor , and Murmuring Bosk are all Forests, as are several other lands (and, of course, Forest ).

Temple of Mystery , Sunpetal Grove , and Raging Ravine are not Forests because they do not have the Forest basic land type.

A Forest is a card with the subtype Forest. Forest is a Forest. Snow-Covered Forest is a Forest. Dryad Arbor is a Forest. Tropical Island is a Forest. Breeding Pool is a Forest. Murmuring Bosk is a Forest.

Things that are not a Forest:

  • Island : It is an Island.
  • Blood Crypt : It is a Swamp and a Mountain.
  • Reliquary Tower : It is just a land. It has no subtypes.
  • Simic Guildgate : Even though it has a green mana symbol in its rules text, it is only a Gate, not a Forest.
  • City of Brass : Even though it can tap for any color of mana, it has no subtypes.

Basically, a forest is a card that has the word "forest" in the "card type bar" as Breeding Pool has "Land - Forest Island".
