The Forests are sacrificed to define the power/toughness of this card right before it enters. You have to do this sacrifice no matter how this card enters.

Context

This printing is one of 3 catalogued treatments from ME4 — the lineup includes Foil and Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #175 of *Masters Edition IV*, the set that shipped alongside the January 2011 Masters Edition IV release.

Card type: Creature — Elemental, color identity green, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {3}{G} (4 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #29,006 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
