State of the Program for September 2nd, 2022
 
In the News

Best of One:  Best of one draft leagues are coming to MTGO with the release of Dominaria United.  These queues will last 2 weeks, and play will go on until you win 7 or lose 3.

Limited Challenges:  The weekends get a bit better for limited players as Limited Challenges are coming to the client!  At 1 a.m.  PT Saturday and Sunday there will be a 32 player limited challenge and at noon PT Saturday and Sunday there will be a 64 player challenge.  These events do not cap at 32 or 64, but require that amount of players to fire.  There will not be a top 8 play off or draft in these events, and they cost 40 tickets or 400 play points to enter.

Commander Decks:  Both Painbow and Legend's Legacy will be on sale in the MTGO store.  They will run 29.99.

Treasure Chest Update:  40 new to MTGO cards are coming in to the treasure chests and a new category has been made in them to help out with availability for cards that are only found in chests.

League Matchmaking:  To fight win trading in the leagues, the Join Match step will be gone from pairing.  It will now take you directly to match.

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.

Cutting Edge Tech

When rotation happens, thanks to the Early Access events, it's always easiest to just do a week full of Standard decks.  So that's what I did while watching the Early Access events!  Enjoy some new Standard!  It sure looks like Midrange decks are where the action is in Standard, but I imagine things will change after a weekend of play!

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: 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!

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.

In Closing

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!
