Hearthstone: 4 Tips to get to Legend

One of the greatest challenges within Hearthstone is getting to the top of the rankings,

Legend

is definitely the goal of many in the game. Today, I'll present

4 simple tips

that will help you on this journey!

The biggest mistake of most Hearthstone players is the lack of patience. I often see players switching decks every week, hoping for a result. To achieve your goals, you must play with only

one hero

and

one deck

, already thinking about specializing with it.

Note:

Change decks only when it is

nerfed

in some

patch note

, as

no

deck is a powerhouse forever.

Which deck to choose?

See what are the best

current

decks, considering the latest

balances

and

releases

of the game. For that, I write here at Cards Realm

monthly analysis

about the Metagame, in addition to mentioning the

top decks

to beat at ranked. Studying the

matchups

makes a lot of difference in your trajectory. It is essential to understand what your opponent's cards are, and how they can

punish

your plays. This makes you think twice before defining your

game posture

or using a card, already imagining the opponent's

response

. In addition to knowing whether that particular confrontation is

advantageous

or

not

for you.

Update on the game

To try to predict your opponent's cards, you must be familiar with Hearthstone, know which decks for each class are being used, and knowing that, you won't be surprised to face them.

Use the internet to your advantage

Access popular enemy class lists as soon as the match starts. If the Hunter has two decks in the meta, the

Face Hunter

and the

Beast Hunter

. When starting a game and coming across this class, it doesn't hurt to search these lists on the internet, so we will have the

30 cards

that can be used.

Note:

It won't always be that the 30 cards on the internet will match the opponent's list, but at least 25 or 26 cards will be the same.

Use a Deck Tracker

Deck Tracker

is increasingly popular among

Card Games

players. For those of you who play

tabletop

TCG, the

Deck Tracker

is very similar to the "notebook" professionals use for note-taking. With it, you can identify the opponent's deck, in addition to recording the resources he has already spent. Using the same example of

Hunter

, the

Deck Tracker

can tell you if the opponent is using the

Face Hunter

or the

Beast Hunter

, just observe which cards the opponent played. The Hearthstone Deck Tracker also allows you to watch your own

replays

(more on that later). Watching matches is

fundamental

to your growth within Hearthstone, and it also adds a lot to the previous tips.

Master your Deck

Seeing players (especially high-level ones) using your deck makes you learn new mechanics or combos about it, making you think “outside the box” when playing. You can follow streams on Twitch or YouTube channels for that.

Understand the Matchups

Depending on your opponent's class or deck, your game posture will be entirely different (already explained in the 2nd tip). By watching games, you will be able to analyze each match and understand them, then just put the learnings into practice through your ranked games.

Grandmaster

The

Grandmaster

is the pinnacle of the

professional

Hearthstone scene, it's definitely the

best place

for anyone looking to get better at the game, watch whenever you can! The championship is separated into

two annual seasons

, in

three regions

(Americas, Asia and Europe). Follow along on the official Hearthstone YouTube channels.

Replays

More important than seeing other people's gameplay, is seeing your own, and understanding the reason for each move, and correcting them in case of mistakes. Earlier we mentioned that

Deck Tracker

saves your replays, you can use it for that. A word that is very fashionable is

Mindset

, which means your “setting mentality”, influencing

thoughts

and

behaviors

. Avoid playing while you are nervous or frustrated with the game, rest and calm down before facing your opponents. Also remember to stay hydrated and take a short break after every matchup to not get too tired.
