Turn off foil overlay in decklists?

I'm not sure this is the most feasible suggestion ever, but I personally would like it if it were possible to turn the overlay that cards get when they're marked as foil off. It's really unsightly I think, and the icon next to the card name indicates it's foil just fine.

But maybe that's just me. I just thought I'd take a moment to express my opinion. Maybe others share it, who knows.

I also find the foil images pretty off-putting and blergh. I would like an option for it to be turned off, but not an option button. F would be normal, but if you did FN it would have the F next to it, but no overlay. This would probably be a pretty easy fix to the situation.

Honestly the foil overlay to me makes most cards look worse, especially if you want to throw it on a promo card. The image already has a foil-esque to it and when they are coupled it makes for an unpleasant rainbow mess. I'd be all for the icon being the sole-indicator of foils, or maybe even a toggle option?

or just pick a a lightly transparent sephia gradient instead of the rainbow mess mtgo used.

The foil overlay could be much much more suddle. Half opacity from what it is now, and that might also be too much..

Well, you can always just adblock the foil overlay

That prevents the entire image from being shown, not just the PNG for some reason, at least in my trial.

Hmm. So it seems.

In addition, there should be a "No stuff added" price, where alters, foils, and other printings won't affect the price. It can find the true PRICE of the deck.

That is much better, I agree.

I really appreciate the response, YeaGO. It's nice to know the powers that be here are listening. =)
