Premium foils
« on: April 28, 2010, 07:04:16 PM »
Just wondering, premium foils come in booster packs right? As there are no foils in starter decks, yet premiums are starter only cards.. Does this make premium foils even harder to find than rare foils? I have never pulled one from a booster..

They are printed on the "common" foil sheet, and certainly don't act like it as far as showing up in packs.

Has anyone ever seen a foil Common sheet?  I thought sheets were 11 by 11, which is 121 cards.  How can they print 121 Common foils and add the Premium cards to the sheet?  Are foil sheets totally different?

And I agree, these do not show up often at all.  I have opened about 30 cases and these are as Rare as any Rare.

More so. I have pulled maybe 10-20 rare foils from boosters, never once pulled a premium foil.

I've pulled a few, actually.  The most notable was the EoF Witch-King.  Got him in one of those all-foil Reflections packs.  Those things were sick!

If we're counting reflections packs, then yeah I've pulled a few as well. But in the normal set packs, they are a lot harder to find.

Yes, definitely.  I believe in all my hundreds spent on cards, I've only pulled two or three from boosters. 

They weren't foils, but remember the Fellowship draft packs?  By the time I was done buying those, I was so sick of Aragorn, King in Exile that I could've enjoyed a ceremonial burning!  ](*,)

I still got 10 of them, and actually, maybe this is the reason why I don't play them at all...

The few that I've ever had came from Reflections packs I think.
