1000 Tix Challenge - intro

Sometimes I find myself wondering: if I am as good at identifying profit opportunities as I think I am, why do I still have so few tix on my account? Sure, I have gone infinite in the sense that I don't have to pay for the game and my balance is more or less stable, even though I keep losing tix on new deck creations and failed drafts. I guess there are two reasons:
-I'm not focused enough. A few days ago I've seen the Mindslaver get spoiled mere minutes after it has gone public. I've checked the price to see it being available at 0.5 tix. I was sure it was going to go up, had 40 tix at hand, but decided against buying. Why? Because I felt sleepy. It wasn't even particularly late, but tiredness got the best of me. I woke up next day to see Mindslaver being bought at 2 tix. That was 20 minutes of sleep that cost me some 120 tix. It happens :)
-I spend quite a lot. New decks and limited are the main spendings. I'm not really competitive, but I tend to spend all my tix and none are left for investments.

A day after Mindslaver got spoiled my friend came up with an idea: "You should hold a challenge on your blog - start with 50 tix and get to 1000 as fast as you can." I must say I loved the idea. This is something to keep me focused, and if I keep track of tix earned, I won't be tempted to spend them. I created a new account, and here's it's current status:


50 tix, and some untradable stuff. I also have some 0.5 tix at one of the bot chains after selling stuff from the intro pack. And that's it. Current balance: 50 tix. Target: 1000 tix. 1900% profit. I feel like I can make it within a year. Wish me luck!
