So I've been playing hearthstone casually since GvG and have managed to consistently hit rank 5 for almost every season. The past few months I managed to gain some extra free time and have managed to finally get into legend. I'm really into HS at the moment and with the new expansion I was thinking of streaming my gameplay( as I play mostly pure meme decks). Any tips, or advice?
I also was thinking about this, don't let your dreams be memes! If u have time for a good set up, you can Always stream and hope that people enjoy your content.
I think streaming is prb the easy part getting people to watch and stay for a period of time might be the wall u need break to be good. Since everyone will probably watch all the streams u need to figure out how to bring them into ur stream.
If you plan to mostly play meme decks you need to have a great personality and have lots of chat interaction. Since people would be viewing the stream purely for entertainment you will need to be entertaining.
The most important thing is to be good at the game. You could be the most boring soul on earth, but if you're on top 10 legend, people will watch you because they want to become good as well.
After that, it's just your personality. It helps to be relatable, but if people find you entertaining, they'll watch your stream regardless of which games you're playing. It's important to note that not everyone has the personality for streaming.
Outside of that, is the news/the insight you can share. It's best to back up your statements with past data and facts, but some people like it when you lean a certain way (while other don't).
Every time I tune in to Kibler's stream he's on (or about to be on) one of his long (piss?) breaks. So I'm watching his chair for a bit then tune in elsewhere. Take note future streamers - get that prostate checked early! j/k
No screaming, no loud music or very active music, explain plays, interact at least a little with chat, play interesting decks. Don't be too slow and don't take too many pauses.
And yes, screaming and antics CAN be fun, but it can also grow really old fast.
I'd say for me I like hsdogdog and savjz. Though savjz has those sudden screams out of the blue that are horrifying if you're not paying full attention to the stream.

Savjz's sudden squeals are the exact reason I stopped watching his (otherwise excellent) stream a long time ago.
Watch Hsdogdog, be like him but actually stream consistently and you are golden. Good music, great hearthstone play, a chat that can have fun but is actually under some control. Chill, don't get over upset and freak out like asmodai. Good luck. HS has a great cast of personalities already. Trying to break into that is going to be very hard.
I would recommend spending your time on something more constructive. Something what will help you improve yourself. Then use it to improve people around you.
But not in virtual card game...
However, I do not know what is supposed to be a skill of good streamer...
The most important thing if you want to have some viewers is that a popular streamer host you from time to time so people can know you.
You can be the most hilarious and best player, if you are stuck with 2 viewers it will not change. Good result in tournaments and youtube channel can also help.

In my opinion:
Good personality
Play interesting decks
Early to cover news and new content
Solid card reviews
Ongoing reviews as meta shapes
I watch RegisKilbin a lot, he does everything I mentioned.
By far the most important thing is not having a real life job.

Just watch Brian Kibler and take note. ;)

Either be funny or educated about the game, or be salty and fun to laugh with.
