Foil copies have seen an even more extreme spike, going from just $10 to a whopping 80 bucks
If youre playing a deck with lots of 1/1 tokens, this becomes a very powerful draw engine, and undeniably one of the best colorless cards MTG mechanics have made significantly hard to counter (its an activated ability and a triggered ability a standard Counterspell wont cut it)
This is a slightly better threat than a Platinum Emperion with the flying but it has far less synergy with the good cheat in effects and is a far less potent survival tool
Not to mention, each play booster comes with at least one shiny Traditional Foil card alongside 14 cards at "Rare" rarity or higher
This The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Commander Deck set includes 1 ready-to-play deck of 100 Magic cards (2 Traditional Foil Legendary Creature cards, 98 nonfoil cards), a 2-card Collector Booster Sample Pack (contains 1 Traditional Foil or nonfoil special treatment card of rarity Rare or higher and 1 Traditional Foil special treatment Common or Uncommon card), 1 foil-etched Display Commander (a thick cardstock copy of the commander card with foil etched into the cards border and art), 10 double-sided tokens, 1 Helper card, 1 deck box (can hold 100 sleeved cards), 1 Life Wheel, 1 strategy insert, and 1 reference card
Finally, there are Mirror Monster cards, which have a borderless treatment and depict some of the deadly creatures on Duskmourn , usually through the reflection of another object in the art
