State of the Program for September 27th, 2019
 
In the News

The Great Eldraine Bake-off:  I saw this last week, was going to do it, then saw someone post a picture of their submission on day one.  It was so good I decided to not participate, because well, when you see greatness it's hard to overcome that sometimes.  Prizes are great, and if you're cooking you might as well think about this.  Check out the rules here. 

Collegiate Arena Starleague:  Gosh, when I was a professional student I would have loved to be a part of this.  Sadly, even though I joked about it, I'm not about to go to grad school so I can get in to a Magic tournament.  If you're already in college registration ends in October, so study, and grow strong! 

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.

The Hot Take Corner

It was a slow news week and an even slower opinion week.  I have nothing for today, other then, enjoy Magic! 

Cutting Edge Tech

Standard:   Bryan Gottlieb won the first post Throne of Eldraine event on Arena with this sweet Esper deck featuring Dance of the Manse and Doom Foretold.  More importantly, it helped me level up on the ladder a couple of times!  Deck is sweet and a lot of fun to play though!

Esper Stax
by Bryan Gottlieb

4 Teferi, Time Raveler
1 Dovin's Veto
4 Kaya's Wrath
1 Planar Cleansing
3 Thought Erasure
4 Oath of Kaya
4 Guild Globe
4 Godless Shrine
4 Hallowed Fountain

1 Disfigure
2 Dovin's Veto
1 Cry of the Carnarium
2 Duress
2 The Elderspell
1 Unmoored Ego
1 Legion's End
1 Realm-Cloaked Giant

Legacy:  Look, I am not dialed in to Legacy as much as I would like to be, but this Mystic Forge looked interesting to me.  I think, and I am probably wrong here, the deck just cycles through with the Forge, gets a Karn, the Great Creator, and then does stuff with Paradox Engine, probably infinite mana and then wins with a giant Walking Ballista?  I have no idea, the deck just looked neat, and maybe someone better than me can tell me how it wins! 

Forge Combo
 

4 Karn, the Great Creator
2 Basalt Monolith
4 Chalice of the Void
3 Defense Grid
1 Ensnaring Bridge

Modern: Here is a deck that if LSV's twitter account is to be believed, got incredibly stronger thanks to Throne of Eldraine.  Emry, Lurker of the Loch is being tested in this deck now, and looks poised to make an impact on the Modern format. 

Paradoxical Urza
 

2 Sai, Master Thopterist
2 Saheeli, Sublime Artificer

2 Disdainful Stroke
4 Path to Exile
2 Timely Reinforcements
2 Rest in Peace

Pauper:  Slivers is a fun one in the format.  It has access to 12 lords, and the linear tribal strategy can steal wins out of nowhere thanks to Virulent Sliver. 

Slivers
 

4 Gemhide Sliver
2 Metallic Sliver
4 Muscle Sliver
4 Plated Sliver
4 Predatory Sliver
4 Sidewinder Sliver

Sideboard:
2 Standard Bearer
3 Gut Shot
4 Harsh Sustenance
3 Holy Light
3 Weather the Storm

Brawl:  I am waiting to see if there are any cards from Throne of Eldraine that will impact Vintage (I have an idea that Emry might), but until then, I am going to post a random Brawl deck.  The format is fun and on MTGO, while Arena players have to wait still!

Winner's Circle

The Winner's Circle is where I will recognize winners of the past events on MTGO.

Modern Challenge:  worrier1000 won the event with Urza control.  
Vintage Challenge:  Winning this week with Jeskai Arcanist was ReneRandrup. 
Legacy Challenge:  xJCloud won with Bomberman.
Pauper Challenge:  PR0boszcz stomped the yard with Stompy. 
 

Around the Web

MTGOTraders YouTube:  Did you know that MTGOTraders.com has a YouTube page with videos added Monday, Wednesday and Friday?  Well if not, now you do, and you can find it here! 

Early Standard decks from the Fandom Legends event can be found here.
Adam Yurchick looks to break Throne of Eldraine in Standard. 
Nick Prince wrote about the new cards after the streamer event online. 
Alex Ullman discussed Throne of Eldraine for Pauper play.
Tolarian Community College made a video about the Deluxe Collection. 

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 Staples: Throne of Eldraine prices will be coming next week.  Seems like the best idea, instead of reporting on a ton of cards that are surely to drop prices, and since I am doing prices on the first day of release, it feels like more work than it would be worth.

The Good Stuff
The following is a list of all the non-foil 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 17320.  Pete did these prices before Throne of Eldraine was added to the site and to our price data.  Last week, before the new treasure chests came to MTGO, the big number was 18105.  It appears that the treasure chest changes have worked out pretty well, and you can see that in the Modern price chart.  On top of this we have the usual Standard sell off for rotating cards and such.  So the difference is a loss of 785, but I'm pretty sure that is going to rebound next week! 
 
In Closing

Pete did the big number on Wednesday, and I did the prices on Thursday.   I played an unhealthy amount of My Time at Portia this past week. I can't tell you how many times I laid down for bed and then noticed it was 4 in the morning.
