Since I see the fetches but no images of the chandra cards, here they are
While I really love the flame effect at the bottom of the cards, I won't buy any more spellbook cards. I bought a foil playset of the Spellbook Jace Negates when they came out, and they curled more than a boomerang within days. Only plus is I can throw 'em at my opponent's spells and they return to my hand.
Have you ever considered the book weight trick (put curled foils in book then weight it down for a couple of days to aproximatly a week)
Or maybe a some heat to get the moisture out the non-foil side of foil cards
It's way too easy to screw up the heat technique. Especially if someone who doesn't actually understand how it all works tries it. Can you imagine? Someone triying to iron their cards? Yeah...
I'll second the book method, it's the same technique used for decades to flatten, dry and preserve flowers, leaves, and fairies for generations. Care should be taken with foils not to crack the foiling or wrinkle it.

My LGS has a blow dryer to help with the book method. We heat up the cards, then bury them in Warhammer books. My Gideon Spellbook cards haven't curled since.
Everywhere I have cards I throw DESSICANT packs or the silica gel pack things that come in or with other things we buy. Always save the extra from things and throw them in drawers, containers, boxes, whatever
They help keep areas dry.
I don't have a problem with curling much. Im also in Florida where its humid all the time.
Keep them tight stacked together in a box or deck box or something, bare or single sleeved.
Seems to work fine.

The professor is being brave and telling the major error with this particualar secrt lair and what needs to happen with sought after reprints for all formats
(By the way it’s the $165 price was ok at the time but today it’s now so bad it’s gonna be a forever dust collector now it’s $400 now they really really need to bring msrp back)
I missed this earlier, I'm not sure how I did, but you are 100% correct. MSRP needs to come back and it needs to come back now. It isn't the panacea that is needed for us as Magic consumers but it is a big protection against gouging.

So we can’t got back to Lorwyn despite all of its fans so we get a desirable Lorwyn themed land in an exclusive product with the highest price barrier possible. What’s next, Kamigawa ally fetchlands for an arm and a leg with a side of kidney, for the fans?
