Hearthstone New Player Guide:
1. Install Game
2. Play through intro stuff (Mage training)
3. Unlock every class by defeating them
4. Choose a class and level it up to 10 in any mode (You earn less XP against the AI, but will almost always win)
5. Do this with all the other classes (100 free gold!)
6. Go back and defeat all 9 Expert AI classes (100 free gold!)
7. Choose a class and level it up to 20 in any mode
8. Play an Arena run (it's free so don't worry about going 0-3)
9. Disenchant a card (typically a common 5 dust card) (95 free dust!)
10. Add some PA folks to your friends list and observe them winning a game (free pack!)
11. Find friends or relatives and play one game on an iPhone/iPad and Samsung phone/Tablet (1 free pack per system!)
12. **OPTIONAL: Spend accumulated Gold (or purchase for $25) to buy the wings of One Night in Karazhan (700 per wing)**
13. **OPTIONAL: Complete Karazhan completely for 45 new cards
14. **OPTIONAL: Spend $5 for the Welcome Pack (10 packs + 1 Legendary)
15. Complete daily quests, and win any 3 games, to earn gold (in Casual or Constructed)
16. Try and reach as high a rank as possible each season, but at least aim for ranks 20, 15, 10, or 5. (Free cards/dust - see below)
17. Enter and win one Tavern Brawl each week (Free pack, but Wed-Sun only!)
18. Either spend Gold on packs of cards (100/pack - Classic for a long time) or Arena (150/run)
19. Repeat steps 15-19
** = Karazhan cards will only be good through April 2018. Your call on investing the time/money into them. Also, you can save a lot of time by buying the Adventure modes for $25 each. Grinding 3500 gold will take a long time to acquire, but it is free.
Arena can earn more cards and Gold once you get good at playing it. You always get a pack of cards in Arena regardless of your record. Rewards increase as you get more wins. Therefore, earning 50 Gold will have you break even since you get a 100 Gold pack of cards automatically. 50 Gold is about 3-4 wins depending on your rewards luck. Anything more than that is pure profit. Remember, Arena rewards the newest expansion packs.

A special word from MncDover:
Hearthstone is a fantastic and addicting game to play. The learning curve isn't overly steep, but remembering all the cards is tough to do. BE PREPARED TO LOSE A LOT AT FIRST! If you're new to the game, there are people that have been playing for over a year and have most, if not every, card in the game. It sucks getting smashed by what seems like a legion of Legendary minions, but keep going. Eventually you'll have your own Epic and Legendary cards and can hang with anyone. Besides, Legendary cards don't always mean instant wins. In many cases, you can sub out other common/basic cards in their place.
One last note, never EVER feel bad about asking for help or netdecking popular decks. Everyone does it (I know I certainly do!) and there's no shame in it. Creating decks by yourself can be fun and inventive, but there are people out there that play professionally and spend months creating optimal decks. Not only will netdecking help you create optimal decks, but you'll start to understand why certain cards are good and find interactions you may not have previously thought of. Finally, netdecking will help you know what your opponent is playing too. When everyone is netdecking, you can much more easily predict what they have have left in their deck/hand. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
So yeah, ask for help here often and netdeck popular decks.

Daily Quests and Gold earning:
You can earn gold by completing a daily quest or by winning 3 games against a human opponent in either Casual or Ranked modes. Ironically, Casual mode is more difficult than Ranked because you aren't as readily matched up to someone of your rank. Other notes about earning gold:
1. When you win 3 games, you earn 10 gold. You can earn up to 100 gold/day this way.
2. If you get a quest you don't like, you can "reroll" it by hitting the red "X" button in the corner of the quest.
3. You can only reroll one quest per day.
4. You can reroll a previously rerolled quest.
5. Try to not have more than 3 active quests or you'll lose out on a new daily quest.
6. The "Win 7 games in any mode" quest is worth 100 gold. In addition, wins against the AI count.
7. The "Spectate" quest allows you to earn a free pack of Classic cards just by watching another person win. FREE CARDS WOOO!
8. You can complete multiple quests at the same time (ie. Win 2 games with Paladin/Rogue and Win 2 games with Paladin/Warrior both get credit if you win with Paladin)

Card rarity, identification, and dust values:
1. Look at the center of the card for a gem.
2. If the card has no gem, it is a "soulbound" card and cannot be crafted or dusted. Basically, it's a starting card.
3. If the gem is white, the card is common. These cards can be crafted for 40 dust or dusted for 5.
4. If the gem is blue, the card is rare. These cards can be crafted for 100 dust or dusted for 20.
5. If the gem is purple, the card is epic. These cards can be crafted for 400 dust or dusted for 100.
6. If the gem is orange, the card is legendary. These cards can be crafted for 1600 dust or dusted for 400.
7. Dusting a golden version of a card earns you the creation value. Example: A golden rare dusts for 100 instead of 20.
8. It's highly recommended you dust golden cards unless you don't have two copies of it already.

Supplemental Card Creation Guide:
1. Do not dust cards until you have more than 2 copies of a card
2. Unless you're committed to a class, it's better to craft neutral minions first (Ysera, Bloodmage Thalnos, etc)
3. Dusting Gold cards earn lots more dust (unless you care about that bling look)
4. Try to only create Epic or Legendary (commons and rares will come via packs)
5. Ask us here before dusting something like a Legendary (see Legendary crafting link below)

Ranked Rewards
Each season lasts one month. At the end of the season, you'll earn a reward based on your highest rank you earned during the season. The rewards come in the form of golden cards and extra dust. For newer players, the golden cards can be dusted for a lot of dust (see dust list above) allowing you to create better cards. For pros, it's an opportunity to bling out the cards they want or stockpile dust for the next expansion. Because of this reward system, you should always try and get as high as possible each season. And don't worry about losing ranks, you still get the reward based on your best result and not your ending rank. The rewards by rank are:
Rank 20 - 1 golden common card, 5 dust
Rank 19 - 1 golden common card, 10 dust
Rank 18 - 1 golden common card, 15 dust
Rank 17 - 1 golden common card, 20 dust

Adventure Modes and New Cards:
Hearthstone has been out for over a two years now and has seen a lot of new content. These come in the form of Adventure Modes (single player stuff) and Expansion packs (new cards!). All of this new content can be found below. PLEASE NOTE! There is no reason to bang your head against the wall to complete Heroic boss fights. Completing them is very hard and the only reward is a special card back. Come back to them later after getting more cards in your inventory.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCJq7lE3JQsGeneral Game Information:
The game has FOUR play modes:
- Play - Build a 30-card deck and fight people in ranked or unranked matches in Standard or Wild formats.
- Solo Adventures - Practice against the AI or enter the Single Player themed adventures like The Curse of Naxxramas and Blackrock Mountain.
- Arena - Pay 150g, then pick a hero from a random selection of 3 heroes and draft a deck from a random pool of cards presented to you three at a time. Then battle other people who went through the same process to receive treasures!
- Tavern Brawl - Free to enter after level 20. Rules change each week. Rewards a free Classic pack after first victory.
Grobian's list of less intuitive facts:
- Max handsize is 10 cards. Any card over that is drawn then immediately destroyed.
- You can't have more than 7 minions on the board.
- If you draw from an empty deck, each "card" you draw instead damages you, beginning at 1 damage and increasing by 1 damage each draw.
- If multiple things happen at the same time (e.g. trigger at the end of the turn) they happen in the order their respective cards have been played.
- There are hidden quests/achievements that award gold, notably: 100g for beating all Expert AIs, 100g for playing every class to level 10 and 300g for 100 wins total.
- The Shaman hero power always calls one of the 4 totems that isn't out yet. If you get a totem bounced to your hand, you can play a second one, though.
- The hunter spell Animal Companion just calls a random of the 3 possible minions.
- The Warlock spell Sense Demons gives you 1/1 imps for 1 mana if you don't have (any more) demons in your deck.
- Stealth overrides Taunt, not the other way around.
- Stealth is only for the enemy, you can buff your stealthed minions.
- Priest: Shadowform refreshes your hero power, so you can use it twice in a turn.
- Druid: Wild Growth at 10 mana crystals awards you a spell "Excess Mana" which draws a card for 0.

i don't agree - i think UI has great synergy with the quest, and druid's new stalling tools (especially spreading plague) make all sorts of slower decks a little more viable.
edit: and what is "viable"? will you win some games and have fun? for me, that's viable
My questions for viability are: is the deck consistent? And could I use it to reach Legend and not hate my life by the end of the run? Fun to play is important, but I have fun by winning and by not being "let down" by the deck.

In hindsight, I feel like an idiot: they'd already dropped two Potions of Madness, two Shadow Madnesses, two Cabal Shadow Priests, and at least one MC Tech but I'll just be over here completely ignoring the large sign reading WARNING WARNING ENTIRE DECK BUILD AROUND MIND CONTROL EFFECT THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
Just got frustrated holding non-minion cards for eons and finally could play them on something and I'm sure my opponent was breathing heavily into a paper bag as I dug my own 16/8 grave.

I dont even like where this expansion is going!
But i want me some deathnights and a lich king and all these cool new priest toys

You can get Arfus as part of your Zombeast....... :0

I cut fire fly to play with new cards, but it's likely that the deck wants those. Something to play around with.
I imagine sometime after the patch hearthstone json will update with the new card ids that I'll need to handle the new deckstrings, I'm hoping that I'll have it ready to go for KFT decks well before the expac goes live.
would you consider spreading plagues? with token synergy that could be a pretty sticky / dangerous board, depending who you're facing. better than chain gangs maybe?
Spreading plague is a strong one-of in ramp/big/etc druid, not an aggro card.
fair enough :biggrin: i'd argue you wouldn't have to be behind on board to get value out of it - your opponent would just need to have played a couple of minions - but i see what you mean.
2 Forbidden Healing
2 Doomsayer
2 Equality
2 Hydrologist
2 Wild Pyromancer
2 Aldor Peacekeeper
2 Stonehill Defender
1 Wickerflame Burnbristle
1 Barnes
2 Consecration
2 Corpestaker
2 Truesilver Champion
2 Blackguard
2 Ivory Knight
1 Ragnaros, Lightlord
1 The Lich King
1 Tirion Fordring
1 Uther of the Ebon Blade
Opinions?
It's awesome with a five-color commander!
I'd cut Barnes for Curator. And I'm not convinced forbidden healing is necessary. You're also not running any Primordial Drakes, which might be a good one-of, and I'm thinking just 1x Blackguard is sufficient. I really like the overall direction of control/grinder paladin, though, and that's another deck I'll be exploring.
Oh also, no spikeridged steed? I'd find room for at least 1x. I think my first-pass edit would be: -1 Barnes, -1 Blackguard, -2 Forbidden Healing; +1 Curator, +1 Spikeridged Steed, +1 Primordial Drake, +1 Bolvar Fireblood.
oh shit you're right, i'm misremembering the card details - i simplified it in my head to "a 1/5 taunter for every enemy minion." carry on.
fakeedit: i'm still going to play it though. get stuffed zoolock, i will never forget
Even Ben Brode forgot in the stream :biggrin:
Barnes is definitely worth it over Curator I think, there's no dragons or beasts in the list, but a lot of solid token pulls. -1 Forbidden Healing and -1 Blackguard for +2 Primordial Drake seems like a solid choice though.
Also with Uther DK, you really don't need any Forbidden Healing.
maybe they're loosening their standards?
Thanks buddy
The Lavender Pink Crusade.
the scarlet onslaught was very tight in their standards during wotlk! they were secretly being run by a dreadlord who was fanning the flames of racism and bigotry within them
does anyone have a page with all the cards? I don't wanna rewatch the stream from today.
also finally ordered my 50 packs so I am all good to go. 3 extras from bonuses, 50 from pre order, 1700 gold atm... should get me in decent position.

It's not specifically sorted by Today's Reveals, but everything should all be there in a filterable display.
Disguised Toast's website is lagging behind a little, but all 135 cards are uploaded on the KFT webpage:
https://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/expansions-adventures/knights-of-the-frozen-throne/cards
Just use the filters at the top to filter by class/neutral.
Then I'd use https://disguisedtoast.com/articles/292-visual-guide-of-all-cards-from-knights-of-the-frozen-throne
To see the hero powers and the full list of Death Knight cards that you can get from Arfus and The Lich King cards.
I'm not really sure what the Barnes pulls you honest-to-God want are apart from Tirion or TLK; everything else speed-bumps and gains you maybe a life or two. I also definitely agree with Tynnan about Forbidden Healing - you definitely don't need 2 and probably don't even want the 1 that badly with all the other healing in there.
If anything you may need more single-target control; some silences or Acolytes of Pain for cards seems pretty reasonable.
good thing that stay-at-home "marking day" was approved. i will use my time wisely.
