I wanted to start to foil out my EDH deck, so I obviously wanted to know what cards I could even nab that were foiled. A quick google search revealed nothing, so I come here to ask great magic guru's in which set they started adding foils to packs, I want to say it started after Urzas block but I'm not certain.
So does anybody have the answer?

Please remember to autocard, just do [ card ] CARD NAME [ / card ] and for decks you can cover the whole thing in one deck tag like this: [ deck ] All of the cards in the deck [ / deck ]
The first foil was a promo for Urza's Saga. Foil versions of cards were inserted into boosters first in Urza's Legacy. That is what the wiki says anyway.

Yea, that's right. Lightning Dragon was the prerelease card for Urza's Saga, and it was given out as a foil, as were the Arena promos I think. Then Legacy came out and foils were inserted into boosters.
I started playing the day Legacy was released, and I remember the guy at the shop telling me that there was a chance I could get a foil card out the pack. I was in middle school and I could only afford one pack a week, and never saw a foil until Destiny was released when I cracked a foiled Covetous Dragon. I traded it for a Nightmare .

Really? I wonder if anyone would be crazy enough to apply foil to a Black Lotus.
