Opinions on foiled cards

  • Do you seek them?
  • Do you avoid them?
  • Do you tolerate them?
  • Do they really bend that bad?

I dislike using them inside my decks because of how often they curl. However for my Commander I will often try to spend the extra money for an extra shiny card since they almost never get shuffled into the deck

However I am a little disappointed how often the foiling is just not that impressive. Coming from playing Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid I do miss their more bombastic foil cards
