Hearthstone is an intimidatingly deep game: it’s multi-faceted and strategic, there’s a lot to learn and there’s also a big card pool you don’t have access to out of the gate. It’s the sort of game that takes months to really come to grips with, and even then you’ve still got an enormous amount to learn.
There are, however, some fundamental pieces of advice that will help accelerate that learning process, and that’s what this feature is about. It’s primarily aimed at new-ish players and those that have been playing for a while but aren’t making much headway on the ladder.
To be extra clear: This isn’t a guide for people who have yet to play Hearthstone at all. I’m assuming you’ve played through the tutorial, unlocked all the heroes, and know the basics—at the very least. The game’s tutorial and its practice mode do a good job of introducing the mechanics, as does Blizzard’s own Hearthstone site – How to Play, Hero overviews, Lessons and tips for new players.
