During a draft, I once took a foil Angelic Overseer in a pack with three rares. The others were better cards for my deck, but I got caught staring at the foil of the card, and when the player to my right had already made his third pick of pack 2, i just decided to take the good looking foil mythic.
Judge promo Dark Confidant and promo Sword of Fire and Ice are more tolerable than the other foils because they come with old bordered frames, unlike any other version of those respective cards.

Due to real-life obligations, I am taking a long break from Magic which may include missing the local Legacy GP. Apologies for not being able to keep my threads updated.
The foiling effect on a greenish background is wonderful.
This reminded me of another sucky-card, awesome foil pick: crypt of agadeem. The foiling sets up a really cool contrast between the blue-green on the left, and the purple on the right. I stuck my copy in a metallic purple sleeve, and it's now my favorite book mark.
Is it just me or did they go out of their way to make each and every miracle card look SPECTACULAR in foil? Like..more so than your run of the mill awesome foil. Thoughts?
Standard: pft, i love to see my cards depreciate in value once they rotate :S

I've heard lots of folks say Judge Promo Lightning Bolt over the years. It is really nice.
Modern era, my favorites are either 'fullblank-slatebackground' ones or ones with cool 'hotspots' in them. One of my favorites here is SkullcageFoil; quite ridiculous.
Another favorite of mine is Blast from the PastFoil. It's modern-frame era but old-frame foil, including the star. Apocalypse edition split cards have two little shooting stars.
Big Thanks to Xeno for sig art <3.
Have all of them.

You can find me on MTGO. My username is gereffi.
Also, foils from Urza's Legacy and Destiny are really sweet imo. I love foil Treachery, Memory Jar etc.

Oh, and Dream Fracture is pretty nice in foil too.
Unhinged had that covered!
Gleemax with the matrix numbers in foil.
Mox Lotus with the infinity foil symbol.
All of that was special.
Just making a card foil doesnt tingle my sprinklers.
