The Magic 30th Anniversary Countdown Secret Lair comes with 30 cards, each of which have a 70% chance of being non-foil and 30% chance of being foil. Each card is wrapped individually in its own booster-like packaging.
I could guess non-foil for each card and get about 70% right, but that would be boring. As classic MTG foils go, foil cards are curled slightly. By examining the pack (sight, feel, slight bending), I will attempt to guess whether or not the pack has a foil or non-foil, then record whether or not the card was foil.
This resolves to YES if I correctly guess the foil/non-foil treatment of at least 20 of the 28 packs I haven't opened already. I plan on opening about one card a day until Christmas. (It is an advent calendar, after all.)

@Loche The 2 packs not counted towards the 30 are Ponder (15/30) and Deathrite Shaman (20/30). They were both foil, but I did not make a guess towards either of these prior to opening them.
@Loche Correction: Genesis is (10/30). Actual (9/30) is Wild Mongrel, which was: Guess - non-foil; Actual - non-foil. CORRECT
@Loche Sun Titan (18/30) - Guess - foil; Actual - foil. CORRECT
Guesses 14-17 were in their own comments. Whoops.
@Loche Thalia, Heretic Cathar (23/30) - non-foil; Actual - non-foil. CORRECT
This marks the 20th correct guess. I will be resolving this to YES.
