I love playing tabletop Magic. I play Standard and Draft at my friendly local game store, I haven't been playing long enough to have the right collection for Modern, and Commander is too much for me. Draft/Sealed are probably my favorites because you get to open the most packs. I have been playing paper Magic for almost 2 years and I have been playing Arena since beta. And I have to say, paper Magic is a lot more fun.
I definitely think that draft is the best way to play Magic, it always feels the most 'authentic' to me. I'd say Commander is a close second, it can be daunting when getting decks to ready to play against people at your LGS with high powered decks but if you're into having fun I can't recommend playing Group Hug or Chaos Strategies enough. These strategies can have huge impacts on the playgroup but are relatively affordable since your playing a pile of cards that nobody would want to play in a competitive format.
I don't really like commander very much. It is to complicated, I tried it with some pre-built decks and it did not go well. there were so many triggers and things to keep track of, and that was just one-on-one. usually commander is played with 3-5 people, I just don't understand how you can keep track of it all.

My win rate when playing arena is already %50 exactly, no matter what kind of deck I draft, if I win 3 games in a row, I always lose the next 3. And if I lose 2 games in a row I will probably win the next 3. It's weird.

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.
it is wrong to think about it as discarding two cards. the truth is, you never had those cards. You are not discarding them, you are just not drawing them. it is one mana to choose one card out of three from your deck to draw. sure, you are removing two cards from your deck, but that it just making your deck more consistent. and in mid-range/aggro hunter, where the card is most commonly used, you don't really have any must-draw cards. everything is expendable. so not having drawn those two cards is not much of a downside because you are just drawing different cards instead.

Hello everyone, I am designing my first custom class, and I have no idea where to get art from. up to this point I have just been making miscellaneous cards for card competitions on Hearthpwn (none of which made it to the finals) and it has been fine just googling for the image I need. But when making 20+ cards, well, I need a more reliable source of unique arts. Can anyone who makes a lot of custom cards help me find a place where I can get a lot of good card arts? Thanks in advance.

is storm bringer a good card? I used to have it when it was 7 mana, then it got buffed and I regret dusting it. and now I see a lot of people experimenting with it, so would it be worth it to craft it back?

I can't say I really have a 'gamer name' I have a different username for different things, it is usually my favorite character from a movie/book at the moment. I was EbonyMaw on hearthpwn, Jarvis in hearthstone, and Clerck (a DnD character of mine) on twitch.

I have noticed that a couple of minor things have changed since the last update which were not mentioned on the site (at least not to my knowledge).
first of all, they have added another set filter. right now it will show you all the buffed cards as well as snip-snap, and I am guessing it will show nerfed cards, HoFed cards, and other such stuff in the future.
also when building a deck you can now exceed 30 cards, you can not play a deck with more than thirty, but you can add as many cards as you like while building it. and when you add whizbang/zayle it will not automatically remove all the cards and finish the deck, it will just change the maximum number of cards too (1) until you remove them.
I though these changes were neat, and I had no idea about them until after I had discovered them on my own. and as far as I know, Blizzard has not mentioned these changes anywhere.
This is not so much of a salty post as it is a genuinely curious question to those whom ARE salty.
Personally I have enjoyed playing with and against Sn1p-Sn4p (in standard sorry to go fairly off topic of your thread I just do not know how to create a thread yet)
there is a button that says "forums" on it on the top bar. if you press that then it will take you to a page that has a list of different discussion topics, click on one of those and it will take you to a page that has all the threads on that topic, and above those is a button that says "create thread" or something like that, click on that and you can make your own thread.
in response to OP, I have not played against snip-snap at all, but I have played a handful of games with him in my token druid, and he seems fun, and fair. my opponent is able to deal with it, but I am also able to get fair use out of it. so I think it is a great card and Blizzard did a good job with it.

Druid had Lunara, Rogue has Maiev, and paladin has Arthas and ladyliadrin, and warlock has nemsy.
not all of these are available any more, and not all of them are easy to get, but in two months this shaman guy will not be available, and king rastakahn has long passed, so id you are not going to count heroes like Lunara or Maiev then you should also not count rastakahn or lai Shen
my opponent played EVIL Cable Rat turn 4 and got a Witchy Lackey. then on turn 5 he played Spirit of the Shark > Witchy Lackey on the rat and it turned into a Ornery Tortoise, but then because of spirit of the shark it turned into a Keeper of the Grove.

I also DE her, and The Storm Bringer as well. I regret it now.

LOL I am still trying to get through to chapter 2. I am horrible at saving up gold. . .
Aranasi Broodmother
6 health Taunt
my first one was a golden Edwin VanCleef, I mulled it over for about an hour and DUSTED him, I have never looked back once.
I have also opened Herald Volazj, High Priestess Jeklik, [Hearthstone Card (Lyra, the Sunshard) Not Found], Splintergraft (which I later opened as normal), and I crafted a Whizbang the Wonderful in gold.
all of these cards are now DUSTED. and I don't regret it.
I can't say I really have a 'gamer name' I have a different username for different things, it is usually my favorite character from a movie/book at the moment. I was EbonyMaw on hearthpwn, Jarvis in hearthstone, and Clerck (a DnD character of mine) on twitch.
don't listen to him, do whatever you want with your dust, Hearthstone is not about getting legend, its about fun.,
Shaman today, Shaman tomorrow, Shaman forever.
I do play other classes, but shaman is and will forever be my number one.

this deck looks quite interesting, and I can tell you put a lot of thought into it. I will definitely try it out.
I did have to replace one copy of Snake Trap for Cat Trick because I only have one.

I know you can not buy it twice, but if I buy it, would I still be eligible to win the giveaway?
maybe, it also means that this may not be the best time to be playing token druid
