When they started doing borderless cards and showcase art, I thought they were going to use those things as an excuse to stop printing foils. "Let's face it, we've never been able to figure out how to make foils that last, but it's okay because we've got multiple other cool, popular premium treatments to take their place." But here we are years later and they're just... still printing foils? Even though they don't have to?

If I were in a draft and got passed a foil and non-foil version of the same card, I would most likely take the non-foil.
