Health Freaks Unite
This is without a doubt the second most obvious tip for beginners on this list but it is no less important. Zombies don’t win at card games. How do you avoid becoming a zombie? Simple really, don’t die. The major win condition in Hearthstone (except form running out of cards) is the loss of all your hero’s health so make sure you don’t lose it.
Yes I understand that this might sound like having to remind someone to breathe but bear with me. Hearthstone is an easy game to get sucked up in. That rush when you’ve got a powerful card ready and raring to go which will decimate your opponent is exhilarating, don’t let it wash you away. The person across the table could have enough on the field to take your health down to nothing in several turns.
Being prepared is the only real advice that works here. If you leave yourself open to direct damage you’re going to have a bad time. Throw out a couple of minions with Taunt to ensure your rival has a couple of hurdles to jump over. Also bear in mind that you can do the same to them and prepare a collection of attacks which will whittle down their health pool without them knowing. Keep a calculator handy if your mental arithmetic isn’t the best.
