Basics of Hearthstone

Hey guys,

 

for a few days (almost two weeks now), I started playing Hearthstone actively. However, I am kind of confused by the amount of archetypes for decks.

So far I managed to achieve rank 8 by using some deck I found online (Token Druid). I'd love to be able to create my own decks and understand some of the basics of the game. Anyone here that could recommend me a source to catch up on all required information?

 

Cheers

        These are pretty helpful, kinda outdated but I found them useful

  • First of all, getting to rank 8 after a few weeks of play is great! You should really be proud of such an accomplishment. I think you've got a lot of the basics down for playing the game. As another person already said, Trump's basic teachings are really helpful for understanding how to play the game and he gives lots of good advice for just about everything. He goes through all the hero powers and the related cards for each class. He teaches by using real matches with other anonymous players in ranked, which is pretty helpful since the examples couldn't be more "real life."

    Some useful websites are:

    https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/  

    https://www.icy-veins.com/

    https://www.metabomb.net/

    The first link in the list, Hearthstone Top Decks, is my personal favorite because it has really well-written deck guides for each and every deck archetype and tournament players as well as other experts share their decks there, all categorized by deck archetype, of course! The write-ups are extremely detailed, including what cards can be substituted and with what, possible upgrades, advice about match-ups, etc.

    I hope this is helpful!
