foils

By soviet prince, in Star Wars: Destiny

I believe the cards would look so much better if they had a foil version of the card

Possibly, but with the supply problems we have now don't put foils in the mix for resalers to jack up even more money for.

Ewww, I hate foils. Hope we never see them in this game.

I agree. Foils look awful. Force of Will is a good example of a game where excessive foiling can make a card almost impossible to read. Given how FFG operates in other games, I would expect that we'll see alternate artwork cards and acrylic tokens as prize support, but that we'll never see two different versions of the same card that can be purchased via blind pack.

Agreed. Also, I hate all rarity levels higher than "rare". Stupid "Mythics" and "Legendaries".

Ugh. Disgusting.

Thankfully we're only being subjected to one of these scourges. Don't go giving FFG any ideas.

I don't think FFG does foils. They do alt-art as prizes and promos quite frequently, as we've already seen.

Didn't they do the oversized credit card plastic alt-art?

And the truly awesome. We take your photo and put it on a card.

I like fools as they appear in packs of Magic or Dicemasters. I'm not a completist, so this doesn't open up a new item to complete, but they are just fun surprises, especially Common and Uncommon foils.

As prize support? No, I like the alt cards.

If only they'd stop with the Aruebeshing everything.

Yea, the Aurebesh can make it hard to remember the original text.

I understand the appeal of foils, but if I could vote I would vote "Oh please dear God NO!". Thank you.

Would rather have special pearlescent dice :D

I want sparkle dice!

If there was enough supply for this game chase rare dice would likely drop the singles price for all other cards given people open more packs in the hunt for them and that increases the supply of normal cards.

If there was enough supply for this game prices would drop on their own accord.

Just learn to read Aurebesh and you will be fine. :lol:

I can barely read English!

I want them to give us full art versions of the most popular cards from previous sets. 1 classic card per box would be nice. They really need a system to prevent out of print cards from inflating too much in prices as the popularity of the game grows while also not killing their value entirely. It's a fine line between printing what used to be a 200$ card in a 20$ starter like Yu-Gi-Oh does and never reprinting some cards which makes the MTG's legacy format inaccessible for most people.

Anyways, alt arts / full art of classic cards is way more exciting than foils. I remember the l5r foils, they were so ugly these were actually worth less than the regular cards in my playgroup.

Full art promos is good for me. Foils are easily damaged over time based on temperature and humidity.
