FNM at Home: Featuring MrBeast:  April 23rd, you can play in the FNM at Home event and play in a preconstructed deck event on the client. From 11am to Noon PT, is when the games matter most apparently. You have to play all the way through, no early concessions in order to be eligible, win or lose. If you played against the YouTuber you'll be contacted and potentially win $25,000.  For all the important information, go here! 

Strixhaven and Commander 2021 Release Notes:  This one is fairly simple.  It's the notes and official rules for all the cool new stuff in Strixhaven and Commander 2021!  You can check out the important document here. 

In-Store Play suspensions:  Lifted in Japan, it will also be lifted in Africa on May 1st.  The next update comes on May 12th. 

Dr. Lair's Secretorium Superdrop:  It's time for another Superdrop!  From April 26th to May 28th, you can purchase one of, or all of, eight Secret Lairs.  Some of these include the Strixhaven Showcase and Shocklands that were recently spoiled on MTGO. The others are full text basic lands, and hand drawn concert poster style cards.  You can see all the info here.

Standard:   Prismari really does seem like the early leader for popularity in Standard.  I'm not sure how long it's going to stay this way, but score one for the art kids at least?

Historic:  Historic seems to have turned in to a combo format, take this Grixis Tainted Pact deck for one.  This is a two card combo that revolves around Tainted Pact and Thassa's Oracle.  It's possible to win on turn three in paper, but not on arena, because of the amount of clicks needed to empty your deck with Pact.  It's a fairly consistant deck in the format though, and you can follow the discussion here.

Modern: I adore this, and the amount of play that Indomitable Creativity is getting across Historic, Modern and Pioneer.  Some decks are getting copies of Primeval Titan or Terror of the Peaks, others are getting Sage of the Falls and The Locust God.  This one getting Velomachus Lorehold and immediately playing an extra turn card should get this deck rolling in regards to never not having another turn!

Card Prices

Note: all my prices come from the fine folks at MTGOTraders.com. These are retail prices, and generally the price of the lowest priced, actively traded version. (Prices for some rare promo versions are not updated when not in stock, so I skip those.) You can get these cards at MTGOTraders.com web store, or from their bots: MTGOTradersBot(#) (they have bots 1-10), CardCaddy and CardWareHouse, or sell cards to MTGOTradersBuyBot(#) (they have buybots 1-4). I have bought cards from MTGOTraders for a decade and a half now, and have never been overcharged or disappointed.

 

Standard Staples: Six cards from Strixhaven has made the list! Prismari seems to be the most popular school right now, considering four of the new cards are blue and red!

Eternal Staples:  Jeweled Lotus was added to the list this week, because it started to make the rounds on the internet that it was broken in Legacy.  It's no Goblin Charbelcher so I'll take everyone else's word for it! In addition to that Lotus, we have two pieces of the Power 9 coming on to the list for the first time in a long time.  Mox Jet and Mox Sapphire both crossed the five dollar mark recently.

The Good Stuff

The following is a list of all the non-foil, non-promo cards on MTGO that retail for more than $25 per card. These are the big ticket items in the world of MTGO.  The list is interesting, at the least. This is interesting to me because a lot of these cards have been reprinted more than once, and they are still commanding a high price.

The big number is the retail price of a playset (4 copies) of every card available on MTGO. Assuming you bought the least expensive versions available, the cost of owning a playset of every card on MTGO is approximately a number that I cannot figure out still. I have actually asked Pete to do this for me, because Open Office is weird, and I have no idea what I am doing, and I am pretty close to just being a dog in a labcoat.

Nevermind, ignore all of that, Pete got it done for me, because he is just the dang best. The big number this week is $28,210. Last week it was $29,570.  This the second consecutive slide of the Big number.  Went down $760. 
 

In Closing

I turn 41 on Sunday, and that is just a marvelous number I think.  Soon after, my son turns 14, and that's less marvelous.  Not because he's solidly a teenager, but because he's getting older, and I want him to stay young forever, like I think most parents do for their kids.  It's amazing how quickly 14 years went by.
