MTGO Socials: Daybreak has set up forums for MTGO, which you can find here.  In addition to the Forums, Daybreak has set up a Discord for MTGO.  You can get the invite here.  MTGO has a Twitter account, and can now add an account for Facebook and Instagram. 

Redemption:  Redemption is up and running!  Remember that redemption runs now until supply is gone.   Currently being redeemed are Dominaria United (10% regular 15% premium left)  and The Brothers' War (About Half-Gone).  Phyrexia: All Will Be One's redemption period starts today, March 8. 

Legacy:  I think we're in that weird period of time in Legacy, where after a ban, people play neat things again for a little while before settling back in on the best of the best.  Canadian Threshold is in that list of decks as well as the various Stoneblade lists.

Jeskai Stoneblade

 

1 Brazen Borrower 3 Snapcaster Mage 4 Stoneforge Mystic 2 Narset, Parter of Veils 4 Brainstorm 1 Flusterstorm 4 Force of Will 2 Spell Pierce 4 Swords to Plowshares 4 Ponder 1 Supreme Verdict 2 Blood Moon 1 Sword of Fire and Ice 1 Arid Mesa 4 Flooded Strand 3 Island 1 Mystic Sanctuary 2 Plains 1 Plateau 3 Prismatic Vista

2 Scalding Tarn 2 Tundra 1 Volcanic Island 1 Court of Grace 1 Kaldra Compleat 3 Prismatic Ending 1 The Wandering Emperor 1 Timeless Dragon

Sideboard: 2 Containment Priest 1 Force of Negation 2 Pyroblast 1 Red Elemental Blast 3 Surgical Extraction 1 Meltdown 2 Deafening Silence 1 Rest in Peace 1 Batterskull 1 Brotherhood's End

Modern: I noticed this deck on Twitter after SaffronOlive from MTGGoldfish mentioned something about it.  It looks really neat, and aims to do the same thing that red burn decks look to do in the format, but with a bit more of a longer game in mind.  I imagine that flashing back Bump in the Night happens more than some would imagine! 

Modern Mono Black Burn

 

4 Chancellor of the Dross 4 Sleeper Agent 4 Soul Spike 4 Bump in the Night 3 Collective Brutality 4 Sign in Blood 4 Soul Reap 4 Sovereign's Bite 2 Sword-Point Diplomacy 4 Gonti's Machinations 1 Blood Crypt 2 Bloodstained Mire 2 Marsh Flats

4 Nurturing Peatland 4 Silent Clearing 3 Swamp 3 Verdant Catacombs 4 Okiba Reckoner Raid

Sideboard: 4 Fatal Push 2 Necromentia 4 Thoughtseize 4 Leyline of the Void 1 Dauthi Voidwalker

Pauper:  I saw this and was reminded of the old Kiln Fiend Nivix Cyclops builds of Izzet Prowess (which I guess at that time was an aggro "Prowess" because that isn't a keyword), and I miss that deck alot.  The Pauper format has evolved to the point where it's not a good deck anymore, and honestly, I think we need a ton of bans to get it back in to the format!*

*We don't need bans, that was a joke!

Pauper Izzet Prowess

 

4 Jeskai Sage 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Brainstorm 3 Lava Dart 4 Lightning Bolt 4 Manamorphose 1 Mental Note 4 Thought Scour 1 Crash Through 4 Deep Analysis 4 Faithless Looting 1 Ash Barrens 1 Izzet Boilerworks

5 Snow-Covered Island 8 Snow-Covered Mountain 4 Swiftwater Cliffs 4 Tolarian Terror

Sideboard: 1 Gorilla Shaman 4 Blue Elemental Blast 1 Echoing Truth 4 Red Elemental Blast 3 Molten Rain 2 End the Festivities

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!

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.

In Closing

Prices were done Wednesday morning.  Kentucky got knocked out of the NCAA tournament and I spent about 2 hours sad, and then played some State of Decay 2 with my son.  While my team was knocked out, the sun still rose the next day, and while it was cold outside, it was still really nice. 

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