What I don't get is why they'd even make the whole card foil like that when humidity is a common thing.

I think the D&D team wanted to make a maximally premium product, since they don't do this often. And thst comes with dangers.

I don't know about you, but to me embossing is every bit as premium or even better, especially when the detail is there. And this is purely a preference thing, but I find that selective foil enhancing aspects of the card to be far superior to just blanket foil of the whole thing. I often find it hard to make out details when the whole card is foil.

I would agree, and I think Brink is being fully honest yhst someone making decisions just isn't that familiar with what could go wrong.

Just a thought: if the images on the cards where embossed, blind folk would be able to use them.

That's true, but I was thinking about embossing the cards earlier. If they were embossed, they wouldn't sit flat and shuffle well.
