Wulven need money. Don't tell them to ask for less than they already haveKyle, the price of foil cards is excessive.
Most serious players want to foil out their entire deck, but this is around $200 (40 x $5 = $200 + Hero = $205).
These players have all the cards, but lack the sufficient cash to spend on foils. While most of the other players that log into shadow era once in a while to "play for fun" simply purchase a foil hero for their deck. I presume the serious players ages range from 20 and above, while the "play for fun" players ages range from 5 yrs old to 19.
If you keep the ages in mind; the lower age group is less likely to spend cash on foiling out their deck, but one hero foil at $5 is ok (many don't have jobs and ask parents, many parents refuse to spend cash on a computer game), where as the higher age group receives income from a job or other resources and wouldn't mind spending a moderate amount of cash on foiling out their decks.
----Has the company thought of taking another approach to bring in revenue, other than the $5 every foil card?----
Why not $5 for hero foils and $1-$1.50 for other foils?
The serious players would then spend either $45 (40 x $1 + $5 hero) or $65 (40 x $1.50 + $5 hero) dollars to foil out their decks and depending on how many heroes are foiled out, multiply that number, if 2 decks are foiled out, that is $90 or $130.
Also, the less serious players may be more inclined to scrounge up cash through various laborious activities to purchase a foiled out deck.
Although this is all speculation, not once have I encountered a player with a foiled out deck, but I certainly have heard many players dream of having one. A more reasonable price would allow some players dreams to come true.
