Like the title says. Have been playing tons of proxy with my friends for a while, just kind of testing out all the top decks of the format, doing a little brewing of our own, having lots of fun with it. We've been discussing the idea of buying into real paper, and potentially signing up for some league/local events at some point in time.
Now, I have always been a sucker for collecting cool arts, editions, signatures, etc. I really love foiling out whatever deck I've really fallen in love with and spending lots of time and money on fun shiny cardboard. That being said, I've seen recommendations against foil cards for competitive play. My competitive experience is fairly limited (basically FNMs and draft, so may as well be zero) but I'd like to explore it a bit more with the modern format, as its always really intrigued me. Is it a horrendous idea to have a foiled deck? I am a locking-inner double sleever who takes super good care of my cards, and have used foil unpringler(? the humidity packs) in the past, but it would just be a bit of a bummer to rip 2-4k on a deck and not be able to play it in the future if I decide I would like to take it somewhere.
let me know!
Thanks 😄
