View Full Version : Foils and legality

So I just completed a deck but accidentally ordered two foil cards instead of non-foil. They'd be the only foil cards in my deck (two Knight of the Reliquary). They are (to my surprise) totally flat.

When do people generally call a judge to complain about certain cards only being foil in a deck? Am I at risk of a warning/game/match loss by only having two foils in my deck?

I read this article: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/silvestri-says-foils-and-cheating/

No.

Foils are legal cards, and you will never get in trouble just for using legal cards.

Foils are at somewhat greater risk of becoming distinguishable (marked) than other cards, but that is up to you to watch out for - you will never be penalized just for playing with foils.
