How should their prices compare? More, less, about the same, or is it too soon to tell?

Specifically, the promo Arcbond and Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury if that helps.

From everything I have seen, the promos are almost always less than the non-promo foils.

The promos are almost always less then the normal foils, as Remyth has said. Mostly because that Date is kinda fugly.

I think they will be close, but normal may go higher. My reasoning, for say Siege Rhino its promo is higher, but the khans promos were 1 out of 8, while khans are 1, out of 6. Which means there will be more of each promo.

How much less/more are we talking? Something small like a 5-10% difference, or more drastic like 20-30% and up?

Would you expect it to be the same even for cheaper promos? Just looking through the regular price vs the foil, non-promo price for other FRF rares/mythics, they range pretty wildly.

it depends on the play-ability of the card. I also know there are quite a few people who are collecting the Khans promos as a 40 card set, so potentially the same could happen for Fate Reforged as well.

If you look at the average ktk promos vs normal foils the price difference is around $2. Someone above mentioned the date being a gross add on and that is the likely reason a normal foil is priced higher
