Eh I can see demand for foil Kaya, be significantly higher than it would have had it been the same art. As of right now Kaya's not looking too playable in eternal formats which will keep the price down for the regular card. So it's more likely that people will only want the foil.

Significantly higher could mean "significantly more expensive"....but not ridiculously expensive, as the poster said. "Ridiculously expensive" was Ugin's Fate Ugin.

This foil one isn't really doing anything except for phasing through a door. At least the non-foil has Kaya looking all badass contemplative, wielding a wicked dagger. Granted, I'm biased; foils mean jack to me except that they are simply more expensive versions of cards I already own. It's not like foils magically increase a cards play-ability...
Interesting gimmick to sell more. It is pretty cool though. A foil mythic is not that common of a pull for the average joe even in a unl print run, though I'm sure the big store case openers will get their fair share for singles
To be honest she looks more badass in her original version, so I'll just be trading these for deck stock asap when I get them. It's a cool trick though.

So that's where they got the booster pack art from. I thought it was odd for them to have art exclusively for the booster packs, especially with it looking so similar to Kaya's regular art, but now it makes much more sense.
Wow im having flashbacks of Ugin's (from Ugin's fate) price
A slightly different foil with an incidence of standard mythic rare foil from a normal printrun set will be as pricey as a mythic from 4-card boosters that were given on a single event.
Yeah, sure.

Kaya has 2 versions of art. One for non-premium and one for premium. The numbering just separates arts, no special ultra rare promo
It should be not be "more expensive" as foil Kaya. Simply because all foil Kaya will look like that.
Now, if there happens to be a misprint of foil Kaya with normal art or nonfoil Kaya coming through the wall, THAT would be ridiculously expensive.

Kind of pulling a Pokemon TCG move there, which has "secret" rares that come after the set numbers (ie. 115/114)

However, this decision is almost certainly going to increase the cost needed to (re)complete my foil PW collection

I was hoping she could do something little more impressive. What is next? Climb over fences with a ladder?

It is explicitly said in the twitter link that Kaya is the only one with this feature...

IMO it would have been more interesting on a rare foil. Mythic not so much.
