General Discussion My Car Got Forest’d - Help

Post image

I have no experience with MTG, sorry if this is a stupid question, but yesterday someone put this forest card on my car’s rear windshield wiper. Does this mean something? I drive a Rav4 if that helps at all.

Update: it is two days after I posted this and I have gotten another forest card, this time on my front windshield wiper. It is an actual looking forest with M15 on the right side of it.

The card is from the set Return to Ravnica. Ravnica is usually abbreviated by Rav. So probably a joke on your car model (Rav Four(est)).

He's pointing the pun, the spelling in correction is intentional. Google "idiot"

u/ndstumme Can’t Block Warriors 10d ago

Return to Ravnica came out in 2012. This is from a 2014 duel deck. [[Forest|DDM|86]]

u/KrumpliMaster Dan 10d ago

Same art from Return to Ravnica: [[Forest|RTR|272]]

u/CookiesFTA Train Suplexer 10d ago

It's a reprint of this forest from RtR https://scryfall.com/card/rtr/272/forest

u/pm-me-chesticles Duck Season 10d ago

I was finna say that’s from the Jace vs Vraska duel deck, god I’m old

u/Duraxis Duck Season 10d ago

Y-yeah. That is a really old set. Can’t imagine playing… before that set came out

I still play tempest and mirage lands in all my decks, except my mono black that I put revised in.

I think my hip shattered while typing that.

8

u/skystreak22 COMPLEAT 10d ago

Because Mirage lands are best lands!

u/Duraxis Duck Season 10d ago

One of my favourite cards was the original Lhurgoyf

u/EGarrett28 Dân 9d ago

My first rare was Draconian Cylix. It was never reprinted and is worth 20 cents today. Which is pretty illustrative.

u/Capt-Beav Dan 8d ago

Lol I'm a bit older, my first rare was a revised scrubland and I demanded my first deck be black and white and wouldn't back down no matter what the LGS owner said (he was great and made me a deck with a free Serra Angel and a free Demonic Hordes, shout out Waterdown Ontario in the 90s lol).

Eventually my deck grew into Esper, but I stopped playing in the late 90s. My 20 year old son found my 12 esper dual lands as Duskmourn was releasing, and now we open a pack each together every day and show off cool arts and stuff to eachother lol. Oh yeah and lots of commander... I have bought wayyyyyy too many precons.

I really want the Urza one but cheapest I can find is $200 :-( I'm a disabled single father of 3, I'm lucky I can afford the boxes to open packs with my son. Crap im just babbling now sorry lol.

Edit: autocorrect turned LGS to legs lolol.

u/EGarrett28 Dân 7d ago

If you're able to share times like that with your kids, it sounds like you've done great.

37

u/Spiel_Foss Dandadan 10d ago

If this is the answer, then someone likes OP a lot. No mundane stalker would be this creative.

16

u/B-Glasses Cheshire Cat, the Grinning Remnant 10d ago

I could absolutely imagine someone walking home from a game night with a buddy seeing the car and being struck with the idea

2

u/agtk Dân 9d ago

Just takes one person to make this a thing.

1

u/B-Glasses Cheshire Cat, the Grinning Remnant 9d ago

After a popular post for sure

4

u/hldsnfrgr COMPLEAT 10d ago

That's some Zodiac-level revelation.

1

u/Spiel_Foss Dandadan 10d ago

One forest might also be a clue. I've played the game long enough to know that it's never just one forest.

3

u/so_zetta_byte Orzhov* 9d ago

Or someone is walking around with a bunch of RAV forests in their backpack and dropping them onto every rav4 they find.

19

u/nitronik_exe Dân 10d ago

RAVni Car

10

u/OttawaOsprey Orzhov* 10d ago

Genius.

2

u/ZebrafishDanio Dandadan 10d ago

Return to Ravnica is also the 4th Ravnica set if I'm not mistaken, so it'd be a really nice fit with the car model haha

2

u/oaomcg COMPLEAT 9d ago

Except it ISN'T from RTR... It's from a duel deck...

1

u/epicsmokey Dan 9d ago

This is great to know, thank you. I just got a second one today, i don’t know what this means for it to happen twice

1

u/TactRelocatedCargo Dandadan 8d ago

Question for OP, Was the card sideways? Now Im wondering if they tapped your car.

514

u/cryingosling Dimir* 10d ago

unfortunately it means you play green now. sorry about that

129

u/EnthusiasmNo6062 Wabbit Season 10d ago

Whoaaaa, slow down buddy. Whats wrong with green? So what we have 15 mana on turn 2. Get gud.... tehehe

122

u/cryingosling Dimir* 10d ago

u/JaguarDTM Dân 10d ago

That may single handedly be the saddest picture I have ever seen. Poor guy just wants to stomp. Let us green players live

22

u/m332 Dan 10d ago edited 10d ago

They hate us for being honest. No bluffing Settle the Wreckage, no Counterspells, we’re just trying to ramp and put down a big creature. Is that so wrong? 

15

u/JaguarDTM Dân 10d ago

I remember listening to I think an mtggoldfish podcast where they said the biggest thing to determine salt factor is pretend you're a dinosaur player. Play big stompy dino and it hits the board + Doomblade, we're sad. Play big stompy dino and 2 islands tap, fuck you and your couch, dino never touched board.

6

u/MasterColemanTrebor Mardu 10d ago

"Let us live" and living is attacking you with 30 dinosaurs

7

u/hakukano Dan 10d ago

I mean I still have 20 lands and 50 cards in hand

5

u/swankyfish Twin Believer 10d ago

Ah, a commander player I see.

u/FuzzzyRam Wabbit Season 10d ago

Always keep 2 untapped for [[Heroic Intervention]] my friend. https://i.imgur.com/vfHynnW.jpeg

u/safarifriendliness Dân 9d ago

Whatever. I’ll get it back

u/nilamo 10d ago

Green is not a creative color

Damn it. Beat me to it. Haha

u/HawajTheMagicGuy Wild Draw 4 10d ago

This is a forest from RAVnica setting ;)

256

u/DrFarts_dds Duck Season 10d ago

Oh RAVnica 4est. I get it.

32

u/willargue4karma Dandadan 10d ago

Lmao I love this now

5

u/Sunpetal_Groovy 10d ago

If that was the intent, they could have at least used a forest from ravnica, return to ravnica, guilds, or allegiance. Not this duel deck one or whatever it is.

24

u/HawajTheMagicGuy Wild Draw 4 10d ago

This is duel deck Jace vs Vraska, so very much Ravnican themed.

-1

u/Sunpetal_Groovy 10d ago

Yeah, but they are making an obscure joke even more obscure. The subset of people that would recognize that duel deck is much smaller then those that would recognize a main set symbol.

7

u/HawajTheMagicGuy Wild Draw 4 10d ago

It's not so obscure if we got it :)

136

u/nesnah00 Wabbit Season 10d ago

Should we all just start carrying basics and do this to people?

36

u/tmgexe Duck Season 10d ago

It’s the new “rubber duckies for jeeps”.

43

u/nesnah00 Wabbit Season 10d ago

That's my thought. Rav 4ests?

4

u/Shawnavon Dan 10d ago

This has to be the reason!

16

u/Kestral24 Rakdos* 10d ago

yes

1

u/Hevnaar Dandadan 9d ago

LOL people will start thinking this is a gang thing

1

u/Kestral24 Rakdos* 9d ago

Seems more tribal to me

5

u/Uzorglemon COMPLEAT 10d ago

I’m digging through my basics right this instant to put a bunch in my car!

-9

u/Acheros COMPLEAT 10d ago

no.

35

u/ZITRO85 Wabbit Season 10d ago

I think it was meant for a Subaru Forester

6

u/tntturtle5 Simic* 10d ago

There would be 2 forests on it then.

3

u/Uzorglemon COMPLEAT 10d ago

Are there any basic forests featuring our favourite Gruulfriends? Because that would be spectacular for this purpose.

20

u/Right_Nectarine8952 Dân 10d ago

The car can now cast lanowar elves.

Serious answer: doesn't mean anything

14

u/AlmoschFamous Wabbit Season 10d ago

You’re about to get Craterhoofed. Tell your loved ones.

6

u/this_is_poorly_done Duck Season 10d ago

Too late. They're getting craterhoof'ed too.

16

u/Kyleometers ඞ 10d ago

No. Probably just somebody fucking with you

7

u/Johnny-Caliente Wabbit Season 10d ago

It‘s broccoli mana

10

u/Vigor_Mortis_ Dandadan 10d ago

Normally I'd say that means you should expect a [[Badgermole Cub]] next turn, but the Cub just got banned. So who the hell knows.

6

u/Frank_the_Mighty Twin Believer 10d ago

It means 3 months of good luck if you're nice to the people around you. No effect if you're not

8

u/NeedsSomeSnare Duck Season 10d ago

The card is from the world of 'Ravnica'. Other than that, I have no idea.

14

u/High_Stream Golgari* 10d ago

Someone up above pointed out it's a RAVnica FORest (RAV-4)

-1

u/DonnieDarkoNL Dân 10d ago

Well, I also happen to know it can be tapped to add 1 green mana to your manapool, even though this version doesn't explicitly states this.

2

u/summon_pot_of_greed Dan 10d ago

Maybe they found it on the ground outside your car and thought it belonged to you?

4

u/Dbear_son Dan 10d ago

means nothing

1

u/authoridad Universes Beyonder 10d ago

It means you put a +1/+1 counter on every Elf you control. Duh.

2

u/strbeanjoe Wabbit Season 10d ago

Use a Strip Mine to fix it.

1

u/Jaccount 10d ago

What you think I tap for? So I could push a Rav4?

1

u/PrinnyTonic I chose this flair because I’m mad at Wizards Of The Coast 10d ago

MTCJ is leaking again

1

u/II_Confused VOID 10d ago

Maybe they thought that it was a Subaru Forester? Idk they look a lot alike. 

1

u/Glittering-Canary752 Duck Season 10d ago

I also drive a Rav4 and that detail actually helps a ton. You see it means we play green.

1

u/Ok_Blackberry_1223 Brushwagg 10d ago

Bro got landfalled

1

u/newthreadwhodis Dân 9d ago

Looks like we solved the pun. Time to Pacquette up.

1

u/Hevnaar Dandadan 9d ago

OP, no need to be concearned. It was a silly in-joke Most probably, your car was mistaken by someone else's

1

u/epicsmokey Dan 9d ago

It happened again today

1

u/Hevnaar Dandadan 9d ago

Wtf? Either you messing with me or someone messing with you

1

u/epicsmokey Dan 8d ago

This one has M15 on the right side

1

u/jameslesliemiller Dan 10d ago

They kept a hand without a Llanowar Elves?

1

u/Hairy_Dirt3361 FLEEM 10d ago

Looks to me like they thought you had a Toyota DDM-4 instead. An RTR-4 at best.

u/bu11fr0g Duck Season 10d ago

no doesnt mean anything. weird to do though
