My MTGO trading story part 2

At that moment, I felt nothing attracting me to MTGO anymore except a tix, some 0.05 rares, a pack of Urza's Saga. Selling it for 4 tix or cracking it into another pile of useless cards seemed equally paltry for me. Like a grain of sand in Mojave, I thought there was nothing for me to lose. So, I cracked it open.
I got this card:

Exploration
It was selling for 15 on supernovabots! After exploring tens of bots, I finally cashed out 15.6 tix. I swore I would do no more wasting on drafts/sealed, no more digging of penny cards from 100-for -1  bots, no more 5 days bot hunting for a tix profit. I wanted to be one of the wealthy traders, the celebrities on chat rooms, the players went infinite on MTGO. With my tix, I started 1 tix trades, which made me 100 tix in a week!
1 tix trade is very simple to do. What you need to do is going to a site, like Supernovabots.com, pick out standard cards worth from 10 tix to 20 tix, make some buying posts at prices 1 tix less than the buying price of the site, sit waiting for several hours a day. When you get cards, don't just sell the site which you use to determine the buying prices on your post. Go checking all the bots and players on the classified and sell to the highest buyer you find. I named it Bot Hunting. It's very important not just on the 50 cent additional profit but the acquaintance of bots. We can't trade well without knowing what bots you can sell cards with higher prices than others, what bots you can buy cards cheap and the most importantly, what bots can you sell quick with decent prices if cards you own banned.(do you remember Jace, Deathrite Shaman, Stoneforge?)

[Standard][RNA] Gruul Decks

Against Control - the kind of control doesn't seem very strong in the current meta nor the new meta, we got several cards, all Gruul. Cindervines pressures an opponent's spells casting, directly shut down Izzet Phoenix. Its enchantment removal effect neutralizes Conclave Tribunal type cards. Rhythm of the Wild makes both conterspells and sorcery speed removals effortless. Gruul Spellbreaker provides a more solid way against Settle the Wreckage. So, control is totally ruled off in a meta full of Gruuls, if the meta IS full of Gruul. Let's look at the decks a Gruul facing: 1. Aristocrats A wall of Indestructible, Lifelink and Deathtouch, how do your Nullhide Ferox pass through it? Even with a Carnage Tyrant, the best it can do is just a few damages recovered easily, then it dies to a blocking Pontiff. 2. Mono Red After casting Rhythm followed by a Gruul Spellbreaker, it eats a Lava Coil the next turn, your life downs to a horribly low level, thanks to...

What is Magic Origins about?

If I am right, Magic Origins is a collection of "redesigned" old cards in MTG history. Evidence so far supports the prediction. We have: Dark Petition reminiscing Demonic Tutor, Day's Undoing replacing Timetwister, Honored Hierarch taking after Noble Hierarch. I believe more cards from Power Nine and old sets will appear in Standard but with lowered power level. Let's make some wild guess before the spoiler's out: 1. All ten Shock lands return ( Dual lands ) update: painlands, not shocklands 2. There are remakes for Armageddon, Nevinyrral's Disk and Wrath of God update: they remade Cataclysm. 3. Moxes will appear with 1 mana cost and "enter the battlefield tapped" 4. Something close to Force of Will is in the set

GWx Starfield of Nyx Deck

People say Magic Origins is a down-graded set. To me, It feels more like Ice Age then Khans in the variety of card functions and types. Of course, Ice Age was a fun deck, weakness never harms the entertaining level of cards. Starfield of Nyx  is an interesting one. It goes perfectly into enchantment decks evolved during late Theros Standard. Win conditions: 1. Bring Chromanticore into play from grave. 2. Attack with animated enchatments for winning. 3. Bring Whip of Erebos into play and reanimate Hornet Queen. 4. Bring Sigil of the Empty Throne into play 5. Assault Formation + high toughness creatures Removals: End Hostility Banishing Light     Doomwake Giant Defense: Nyx-Fleece Ram Courser of Kruphix Card Advantages: Ephara, God of the Polis Commune with the Gods Satyr Wayfinder Eidolon of Blossoms Gather the Pack Combos: Starfield of Nyx  + everything /  Font of Vigor Ephara, God...
