Hi, today I was browsing at online stores. Then I saw foil M25 Arbor Elf, for approximately 1 dollar each so I ordered a playset of them. Then noticed foil arbor elfs from worldwake and M13 selling for 4-5 dollars each. Now, my question is why are the foils from M25 much cheaper?
Okay thanks for the replies. Another reason I bought them is because I like the Worldwake symbol on the text box.
I just hope these Arbor Elfs from M25 don't curl. The foil heroes vs monsters polukranos and ember swallower PR foil that I got a year ago have curled badly when I checked them after a year - flattened again after putting them into a deck.
I believe another factor is that Masters sets have 1 guaranteed foil per pack, so foil versions are more frequent. Regular sets have a foil every 6 to 7 packs.
So (with totally made up numbers just for example) there might be 1 foil M25 Arbor Elf for ever 30 regular M25 Arbor Elves, while for worldwake it might be more like 1 foil Arbor Elf for every 180 regular Arbor Elves. Getting 4 foil Worldwake Arbor Elves is much more difficult than getting 4 foil M25 ones, which drives their price up due to scarcity.
