If you are going to buy one copy of each card already implemented in Magarena 1.42 you will have to pay US$11,263 (based on TCGplayer average prices).

However, in Magarena you are not limited to one copy and can have as many of them as you want. Usually you don't need more than 4 copies of each card (except for basic lands, and they are cheap), which give us an estimate around $45K. Not bad.

Top ten most expensive cards in Magarena are as follows:

Sure!

As of Magarena 1.49, total cost of all cards is US$20,192. So it's nearly doubled since 1.42.

Top 10 most expensive cards implemented:

Zodiac Dragon
Tarmogoyf
Juzám Djinn
Noble Hierarch
Wolf Pack
Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
Zhang Fei, Fierce Warrior
Ali from Cairo
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
Sliver Queen


BTW, it took me a while to remember how I did these calculations back in October, so to save some time in the future, and also for anyone to repeat the process, here is the supercool technology:

1. In Magarena, create a new deck, in Deck Editor select all cards (Ctrl-A), add them to the deck, save the deck to a file.
2. In Deckbox.org create a new deck, import deck list from a saved file (plain text).
3. Wait for a couple of minutes.
4. Enjoy.
