Actually, it involves a bit of magic itself - just kidding! The foil effect on MTG cards is achieved by pressing a metallic foil onto the card stock during production. Then, they layer the card's artwork on top. So, each foil card has a bit of extra shine and a unique texture compared to regular cards.

MTG foil cards are made by adding a special metallic layer during the printing process. This layer is applied to the paper before the final card design is printed over it. It's the metallic layer that gives those cards their distinctive shimmer. Pretty neat, huh?

It's all about that shine! They use a metallic foil layer beneath the card art to give it that cool reflective look. Not all heroes wear capes, but some cards definitely sport their bling.
