Top 5 most beautiful cards in Magic history (excluding misprints and test prints):
1. Old border foils - Urza block, 7th Ed., Judge Rewards up to 2003, Time Spiral time-shifted (probably in that order)
2. Alpha
3. Planar Chaos color-shifted foils / Future Sight time-shifted foils (tie)
4. Sol Ring Judge Reward (2005)
5. Arabian Nights/Legends/Antiquities lands

Foils don't warp if you protect them. But I can understand why some people want their collections to be more durable, especially if you live in a hot and humid climate.
Foils are almost always warped to some degree (slight to heavy). The only way to make sure your foils don't warp is if you open them in a pack yourself and immediately sleeve them up, regardless of climate.
The purpose of any moat is to impede attack. Some are filled with water, some with thistles. Some are filled with things best left unseen.

- Use perfect fits immediately after opening the pack or as soon as possible
- Keep stored in a cool, dark place (like a desk drawer)
- Save your silica gel desiccant packets
Curved foils may also flatten out over time if stored in a tightly packed deckbox or between book pages with a weight on top.
If the bend is really stubborn, you can try to apply some heat (with a hairdryer or something) to loosen up the foil before flattening it. Some people use a hot router or laptop for this. (Disclaimer: I haven't tried this method, but it could be an option worth exploring.)
I like foil cards, I used to have most of my decks foiled. Until I realised that I didn't need to have all those foil cards at all time in front of my eyes, and sold them to upgrade my p9. Now I still keep a few cheap foil cards because they look nice, but for my decks I go for plain english signed original edition, and fbb for duals. And I think that decks look better when you don't mix foil and non-foil cards.
Can you get Karakas in german at all? Starting to build a foreign version of DnT/ImperialTaxes and want to find a language that I can match with every card in the deck. I want to stray away from mismatching languages.
correct you can now fully jap dnt
