I play only paper magic. Haven't gotten into Arena yet. I play mostly sealed and draft when I play. I haven't played much lately because of kids but my oldest can read now so I will start teaching him to play magic soon. For constructed formats I like legacy and commander mostly. Dabbled a little in modern but never really got into it. Legacy is just so much more wild and fun for me.
I've only ever played Legacy in proxy form, can't afford the real thing quite yet. I've been enjoying Bomberman Combo with Auriok Salvagers and LED. What do you play in the format?
My go to deck for a really long time in legacy has been BUG Delver. The only cards I am really missing that would make it optimal are the 'goyfs and JTMS. I have the cards and contemplated RUG Delver too. I also would like to build Death and Taxes if I can get the Karakas. For modern I had Karn Tron built but I am way behind the times on that deck and suspect it needs a complete overhaul. I imagine my BUG/RUG Delver decks need some minor tweaking. 'goyf seems to finally be getting to a low enough price point that I can pick up a playset soon.
I play modern, standard, and occasionally draft. I play Grixis Death's Shadow in modern (if that wasn't obvious from my avatar), and some UW nill jank in standard.
And yes, I did draft MH1 yesterday! It was great, I drafted dimir ninjas and went 3-0, and pulling a foil Serra from my rewards packs! It was a blast, this is certainly one of my favorite limited formats.
Edit: I also play Temur Reclamation on Arena whenever I get free time, which isn't often because of school. (And finals are in a few days, so there won't be much magic for a while xD)
My brother tried to force ninjas super hard with little to no success, glad you got success out of it though! I've drafted twice and cracked an Astral Drift both times went 2-1 the first time and 1-1 before dropping due to time restraints. First time was Esper and the second was Jeskai with Tectonic Reformation
Also, Good luck with finals!
Nice! I had honestly not expected for [Hearthstone Card (Astral Drift) Not Found] to be good at all, especially in limited. What were your payoffs?
And about the ninjas, I got somewhat lucky to find two of the unblockable changelings, as well as a 1 Mana flier with scry 2 (name is escaping me), in addition to a [Hearthstone Card (Ingenious Infiltrator) Not Found], which closed out games really fast. Also, I got a Defile, which was excellent, and a decent counter spell suite in two [Hearthstone Card (Spell Snuff) Not Found]s. If I had to describe it, I'd say it was sort of a 'tempo deck with card advantage'. It was pretty busted!
Haven't really played in like 10 years. I stopped shortly after the first Ravnica expansion. Still have all my cards though, some p9, full playset duals, etc.
So have you reached the point where you are sitting on the duals and P9 and treating them more like an investment?

It depends on the deck, but generally, I'd say yes. It is great, because it allows you to filter cards out of your deck, and find what you need based on the situation. Sure, sometimes you get hosed and you're forced to discard 2 good cards, but 90% of the time it's great.
E.g. I get to filter through my Unleash the Hounds in the warrior matchup, or maybe I can have a good chance of finding Leeroy Jenkins for lethal.
TLDR; It's generally a great card because of it's selection and ability to find you what you need based on the situation.
The logic behind it goes something like this: unless the game goes to fatigue, you won't see every card in your deck. That being the case, would you rather draw the card you need Right Now, well, right now, or two turns later? Burning cards from the deck rarely matters more than finding the right answer, setting up a combo or curving out. One way to think about burnt cards is to pretend they were actually the bottom card of the deck.
That said, I'm probably not the best Tracking advocate, I've never quite been able to overcome the FeelsBadMan aspect of tracking over juicy cards, doubly so when you know you're going to cast Zul'jin and burn even more value. But you have to realise this is more of an emotional attachment than a logical response.
So... first off, I REALLY do not like playing Hunter. To me it's the worst class by far. With that in mind, I am trying to get my Golden Hunter class and I have learned to like Tracking because it allows you to root through the top 3 cards of your deck and grab the 1 that you need at that moment. I only do it when I am looking to get the situational kill card. For example, my opponent is down to 6 life, I have 7 mana... I'm digging for Leeroy Jenkins or Kill Command

i have multiple decks. Burn, Bant Spirits, Mardu Pyromancer, id say my personal favorite is Grixis Death's Shadow which might switch to Esper thanks to Ranger Captain of Eos.
I hadn't thought of Ranger Captain in Death's Shadow. Definitely seems interesting!

Although already a bit experienced in the game and with hunter, I never got why everyone puts this into decks. Discard 2 cards, really? If someone can explain me I would be very grateful.
I play a lot of drafts and play some commander format :)
Those are probably my 2 most played formats right now as well! Have you had the oppurtunity to draft Modern Horizons yet? I just did at a prerelease and it may be my favorite draft set to date
Hello, any suggestions for Chapter 5 on normal ? Class, hero power, deck and picks ?
Generally, find a way to cheat mana. Whether that is the OP Robes of Gaudiness, Emerald Goggles, or even just ensuring you are playing overstatted minions on turn 1 with the "give this minion stats" and "always starts in your opening hand" enchantments. You need to be able to keep up in the early stages of the game. This is where most are lost because the final bosses start on 4 mana. I also find picking the removal treasures is also usually the more consistent option.

Mana Curve is Really Bugged!
I can assure that you are correct, Chimera. Here, all cards are class cards and are counted.

What lore characters do you think are overdue for an appearance in hearthstone?
Sylvanas Windrunner, Cairne Bloodhoof and Baine Bloodhoof are already in the game. I suppose that doesn't preclude alternate versions from existing, as with the Old gods "tainted" cards (Hogger, Hogger, Doom of Elwynn, etc.) but it does probably mean they're low on the priority totem.
