FNM promos foiling
General forum

I just have a question for those that have some recent FNM promos, since I don't. Is the foiling of these cards good? By that I mean are they more towards the side of a regular pack foil, or is it the "bad" kind of foiling that makes them curvy and hard to play with like the FTV foiling? In particular I was thinking about acquiring a playset of the FNM Path to Exile but don't want to buy them and be surprised/disappointed if they aren't foiled well. Hopefully what I'm asking somehow makes sense to someone haha I'm not sure I worded it in the best way.

I have a set of those Path to Exile you're talking about (I hope these are the ones you're talking about) for my Tokens deck, and I'm pretty satisfied with how they're foiled. I keep them nice and tightly packed in my deckbox (I like to sleeve my tokens, sue me), and they've stayed pretty fresh so far. I've had them in my possession for several months now, and I'm happy. That's just my experience.

I agree with TMBRLZ The FNM Promo Paths are amazing. Like a Pack Foil -- I'd buy them again if I had too. I own a playset and honestly, if I didn't have the Rewards promos I would use them.

I have 6 of them, and they've held up excellently. They seem to be better quality than most of the commander products at least, and not many people complain about those. If you're asking if the foils pop off of the card well (adding to the distracting shiny-card strategy of foiling a deck), I don't think the artwork is very conducive to them being foiled since the art is pretty dark inside the boarder. The card quality is still good though.

There are three kinds of foils.
Pack foils, FTV foils, and the now discontinued Clash Pack foils.
Pack foils are the best. FNM foils fall into this category. The FTV foils warp and look really weird. The Clash Pack foils feel like subpar pack foils. They look a bit weird and feel a bit weird, but more like an inferior pack foil than whatever the hell FTV uses.

I have them as well and can concur the quality is there. Played with them for about four months now.

As somebody who hands these foils out to players I can tell you they are and always have been "good" foils. Not FTV garbage.
