Etched Foils
Etched foils are a new type of foil cards, and look pretty sweet if you ask me. They will primarily appear in the Collector Boosters, with a small chance of appearing in regular boosters.
Commander Legends has a brand new kind of foiling: foil etched! (Not etched foil.) I showed a video in the panel earlier, and it is on my Good Morning Magic YouTube channel too! However, many of you have asked for something longer. Here you go – absolutely stunning!!#WOTCstaff pic.twitter.com/Adtew4420K
