Search your library for up to two Forest cards, put them onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
Why is this card good?
Skyshroud Claim is one of green's best ramp spells precisely because it grabs two lands and puts them onto the battlefield untapped — netting you mana the turn you cast it if you sequence it after a land drop. At four mana, ramping into six is a serious tempo swing toward your bombs.
The key wrinkle: it searches for "Forest cards," not basics. That means it fetches any land with the Forest subtype — dual lands like Breeding Pool, Temple Garden, Stomping Ground, or Bayou. In multicolor decks, this lets you ramp and fix colors simultaneously, often pulling out two shocklands untapped (pay the life or not). It's a staple in any green-inclusive deck running enough Forest-typed duals.
Play it in midrange, ramp, lands, or big-mana strategies — anything wanting to power out commanders ahead of curve.
Skip it in mono-green decks light on dual-typed lands (Cultivate/Kodama's Reach fix colors better there isn't relevant, but you lose the untapped upside isn't either) — and in fast cEDH lists where four-mana ramp is too slow.
