Opinions on foiled cards

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

I like foils if I have them, but I don’t really go out of my way to chase them. I double sleeve my commander decks, so most curling isn’t an issue, but some cards out there are really bad. I’ve had them curl immediately upon opening a pack.

If I’m buying a card for a deck, I’ll probably go foil or special art, but it depends on the price. I play casually with friends, so it’s more to show off cool cards with them.

Bending immediately sounds quite extreme..

Special arts are indeed a nice non-curly option for a flashy card. (Until that's a foil too ^^ )
