MTGO Forums: Daybreak has set up forums for MTGO, which you can find here. 

MTGO Discord:  In addition to the Forums, Daybreak has set up a Discord for MTGO.  You can get the invite here. 

December Secret Lair Drop: Highlighted by some sweet Transformer cards you can catch the next drop here.   This drop is ending on the 6th.  

Starter Commander decks:  These are new to the shop and the exact product that you would buy in paper! 

The Brothers' War Redemption:  Redemption is up and running!  Remember that redemption runs now until supply is gone. 

Standard:  The evolution of the Izzet Artifact deck in Standard has been super neat to watch and it's really nice to see stuff like Brotherhood's End and The Mightstone and Weakstone become multiformat cards.

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

Prices were done on Tuesday, I picked up some staples due to the All-Access token doing the neat thing where it made stuff cheaper.  I had a great week with my son, and was woken up from a Tornado Warning at 3am the day after he left.  Next week's State of the Program may be delayed, as I have a series of medical appointments. 

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