For $100 I'd grab 4 Thoughtseize and 4 Deathrite Shaman. I'm speaking in long term investments though because they are both going to rise after some time out of standard, both being legacy staples.
Edit: just read the standard/modern part lol. I'd still go with Thoughtseize but probably change the DRS to a few Snapcaster
Depending on their iTrader and the amount of the sale, I would pay in gift. I've done every transaction online through gift payments and have never had a problem. Your results may vary.
As a former MS mod I'll tell you this is terrible advice. I've seen 100+ iTrader users decide to rip and the opposite of new trades that are very professional. With gift payment there is no protection for the buyer should there be a problem. The best advice I can give is read through this article, it has a lot of great info about trading/sales through the mail.
Just be smart and you'll be fine, this site is a great resource for supplementing your collection. It's nice having access to 500+ binders vs your local shops traders
I saw that on Reddit. Did I miss a tournament or something? I know Twin is a pillar of the format but it seems like a pretty accessible card. Perhaps more market manipulation?
I also highly recommend mtgo. Being able to visualize the stack really helps to make better sense of it. Plus once you miss a trigger or two you'll start remembering.

It's mainly gibberish and ramblings but I definitely think this is one of my favorite threads on MTGS.
