QP Expiration:  *From last week.* This has been pushed back to August 17th.

MOCS Changes:  For season 3, constructed prelims now cost 20 tickets or 200 Play Points.  QP amounts are the same, and chests increased by one in the 3 win level, but the prizes have been reduced by a third over all. Standard is replacing Pauper in the fourth showcase slot.

Special Event:  Double Masters 2022 Duels is a new way to play.  It's like a prelim, and also like a challenge.  They are set up for Saturdays and Sundays as of right now. 

Doing another theme week this week.  This time I am looking at some sweeting looking brews from tournaments in Japan! I did not mean to go so Temur heavy, but the Temur decks looked so cool!

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.

Pauper Staples:  It's that time of the month, to go over Pauper prices.  Daybreak giving the commons away to players really helped out there, as every Baldur's Gate common just sank like a rock in the Sea Gate.  Crimson Acolyte came off the list.  Plated Sliver is off the list.  Chromatic Sphere has been sacrificed. Reaping the Graves fell off.  Rancor is gone as well.

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.


 

In Closing

On Thursday, I decided to sell my MTGO account.  It's not because I hate playing Magic, or hate MTGO or even don't belive in the long term viability of it. 

I wanted to do something nice for my son, so I am going to buy him a couple things, and I am finally going to pay off Western Kentucky University the money that I owe them so I can get a copy of my degree.  I'm proud of earning it, even if it is worthless, and I want to see it. 

I did immediately buy back in to MTGO.  I bought two Pioneer decks, 2 Pauper decks and 10 Commander decks with what I had left over. 

I may not play as much as I used to, and Runeterra, Hearthstone, Eternal and Pokemon may get more time some days, but I don't think I will ever stop loving Magic. 

Though I did start to pull cards for 11 Commander decks on Wednesday, so maybe I will hate things about parts of Magic.
