Secret Lair:  The June Superdrop came out on Monday, featured in this one are artists Volkan Baga, Chris Rahn, Livia Prima, and Kelogsloops.  There are also drops based on Tokyo and royalty.  You can check out the information for these drops, and the Pride drop, here.

Baldurs Gate:  Treasure Chests updated on Wednesday, and with the update we got a Baldur's Gate cards. While it is not the entire set, it looks like 120 or so cards were added.  You can see the whole list here.

Magic 30:  October 28-30th in Las Vegas, Wizards of the Coast is going to kick off the 30th Anniversary of Magic: The Gathering.  This event will have virtual tickets, exclusives and the World Championship.  You can check out that info here.

All of these items are from last week

2022 Season 1 MOCS Showcase:  This airs on the Magic: The Gathering Twitch channel on June 18th, showcasing Modern and Vintage Cube. 

20 Years of MTGO:  If your account was created prior to June 7th, Daybreak Games has granted it 100 Play Points.  Accounts will also be granted a special avatar after the celebration is over base on the age of the account after the event.  Bear Cub (Which isn't even on the client in a playable form), Young Pyromancer, Eager Cadet, Veteran Adventurer and Transcendent Master all get the avatar treatment. 

20th Anniversary Series:  Players that go 5-0 or 4-1 in special constructed and limited play-in events get an invite to the series Finals.  To enter the finals you must have a Constructed Finals and a Limited Finals token.  The format for the finals is Modern Horizons 2 sealed, with a top 8 draft. If you win this event, you get a four regular Magic Online sets of Vintage-legal expansions.  2-4 get 1 set of each vintage-legal expansion.  5-8 get 100 treasure chests.  It's a heck of a prize.  Play-in Events rotate between Legacy, Vintage, Modern and Pioneer.  Limited Play-ins feature Masters 25, Vintage Masters, Modern Horizons and Modern Horizons 2. 

Mythic Token:  To go along with the Anniversary Series, the Mythic Token is also back in the store.  From June 8-25, the Mythic Event token will be available to use for the Showcase Challenges, Champions Showcase and just about any other Constructed format you could want on the client. 

Whatever I want to talk about here

Standard: I like how a Super Friends list exists in a color space that it typically hasn't existed in.  This is typically a Bant or Esper deck, but they have printed some really good walkers in Black and Red.  I have still never seen Zariel, Archduke of Avernus though, and that's pretty cool!

Modern:   I have played a lot of Modern this week because I really enjoy the Enchantress and Cabal Coffers decks, but I think Modern really needs some help.  On their own, cards like Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Omnath, Locus of Creation aren't bad.  Heck even Teferi, Time Raveler serves a purpose against the cascade decks.  The problem is these decks are formulaic and result in games feeling the same.

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.

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.

The big number this week is $27,787.

 

In Closing

In the waning stages of a heat wave that have left the heat index at over 100 degrees in Kentucky. It doesn't get quite that hot in my house, but I've had to resort to cold water compresses and such as the day drags on.  Thankfully there is a small break this weekend, right before we go in to it again. 

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