State of the Program for August 13th, 2021
 
In the News

Temur Cube:  It's been up for a couple of days on MTGO, but you can read about it and see the cardlist here. 

Modern Horizons 2: This news is from last time.  Draft and Sealed leagues are back and are scheduled to run until September 9th, when Innistrad: Midnight Hunt comes to MTGO.  Also the four limited premier events are switching from Forgotten Realms to Modern Horizons 2 based formats. 

Super Qualifiers:  Saturday is for Limited, while Sunday's is for Modern. 
 

The Timeline

This is a list of things we have been promised, or we just want to see coming back. Another good source for dates and times is the calendar and the weekly blog, while the best source for known bugs is the bug blog which appears sporadically on MTGO.com. Not listed, but important: Wizards offers either one or two online MCQs each weekend, with qualifiers for limited MCQs running the days immediately prior to the MCQ.

Cutting Edge Tech

Standard:  Sometimes when you're doing an incredibly poor job of being adult on an early Thursday morning, you get to be awake when what looks like an incredibly fun deck cross your twitter feed. This Orzhov snow deck by Charizard_James Rutherford was retweeted by Robert Taylor around 3 am, which was just about the time I was digging in headfirst into a bowl of ice cream.  Following Robert is great, because not only do you get to see some sweet lists, but you also get concise breakdowns of events on MTGMelee.  Anyways, this Orzhov list looks to learn in the early game and take advantage of Blood on the Snow to clear the board and bring back something neat.  James was kind enough to tweet a deck tracker for the matchups, and made a video for it, which you can see here.

Historic: While Jumpstart Historic Horizons is taking a few more weeks to come out, we are still playing with a dead format.  I'm not excited to have so many Modern cards added to the format, and am even less excited for the digital only ones, I just wish Wizards of the Coast would figure out the purpose of Arena and stick to it, but it doesn't really matter what I want, because what I want out of digital Magic is just a nicer looking MTGO.  Besides I am not the target audience for Arena, and I am okay with that.  Anyways, here is a Dragons list from the last deck dump.  It has Tiamat in it.

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 Legal Sets: This table tracks the cost of a single copy of every card in each Standard legal set, plus Treasure Chests and the current booster pack. I’ll keep tracking these because they are interesting (at least to me).  This is being kept as a small tribute to Pete!

I think the last time I did this table, there is a really good chance that I added in the Commander stuff from Kaldheim into its numbers as well.  I can't really explain the set losing 40 dollars outside of that.  Of course I did notice that Valki, God of Lies dropped $23.91, so maybe I didn't mess up!

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 $25,695.  Last week, despite me not writing anything, Pete got it done, because he is the actual best, it was $26,417.  Down $722, but not down bad. 
 
In Closing

I have basically lost all control and my sleeping patterns have gotten out of hand.  I woke up to finish this article at 10 am on Friday morning, and the next thing I know I'm still in bed and it's 2 in the afternoon. That is why it and the rest of Friday's content went up late!  It is not like I am doing anything important while I am not sleeping, I am just not sleeping. 

This series is an ongoing tribute to Erik “Hamtastic” Friborg.
