I'm a little late to this, but great article Alex. You basically described what my friend and I are doing with standard. Granted, we were just starting out so we didn't realize how much cheaper and easier it is to simply buy commons/uncommons/bulk rares directly nor did we the best deck building skills, but it's working out for us now. I've probably won around 20-25 packs, an event deck, a games day play mat, and a bunch of FNM promos of varying value.

Also, this is a bit obvious, but trade off every card of value that doesn't help you. If for example, you go to a modern tournament, go 3-1 and get a couple of packs. Let's say you get 2 M14 packs and you pull a Scavenging Ooze. If you're playing a mono-red deck and have no intention of ever going green or using the card, trade it for something you do need. Holding onto a "valuable" card that doesn't work for you is a waste
while you're building your winning deck. Cards do work for you by being in a deck or selling themselves to the highest bidder.
