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: With the exception of Liliana of the Veil I did not add any of the Dominaria United cards. When I did the pricing for this the prices used were still place holders, and honestly, it's always best to wait a week after release to see the fullest picture!
Modern Staples:
Aether Vial
is back on the list.
Eternal Staples: Nothing new this week!
Pioneer Staples: You can tell rotation happened because this list is suddenly double in size and the Standard list is tiny!
Pauper Staples: This table had a lot of cards come off of it! It appears that just giving away Baldur's Gate cards worked, and I am going to wait on the new Baldur's Gate stuff before I add it to the table as well.
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 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.
Nevermind, ignore all of that, Pete got it done for me, because he is just the dang best. The big number this week is
I've been in Covid Isolation this week, which isn't hard for a dude that is scared of the outside. I got nothing accomplished, because it seems like, this time, I thankfully didn't get it after being exposed, so it's now 2 for 3 against me.
Nearly every game I played had an update this week.
Fortnite? New patch!
Runeterra? New set dropped!
Hearthstone? New patch to introduce the battlepass for Battlegrounds!
Pokemon? Lost Origin patch!
MTGO and Arena? Dominaria United patch.
You think I would have gotten stuff done while games patched, but no, they didn't all patch at the same time, I was able to sleep through or balance the downtime with something else while I waited.
Good times!
This series is an ongoing tribute to Erik “Hamtastic” Friborg.
