I'm trying to learn BG and after reading and watching videos, I just don't get it.
Wondering if someone would be willing to spectate (if you you even can) and help explain what is going on and where I keep making my mistakes at please.
Maybe even a discord, etc. Unsure, but I have fun at it, just am not very good at all.
Not too sure where you are having problems, but I recently introduced a friend to the game, and here all of the mistakes I noticed he was making without realizing it. Disclaimer, I'm no pro, but I have been playing it since it came out so I have some experience.
1. Towards the beginning, it's alright to have a build you would like to work towards, but don't spend all of your gold rerolling and looking for specific cards right away. It's alright to simply buy stat heavy minions to start off if you have to. Worry about synergies as you advance. I usually like to go for Elementals or Pirates, but I will often buy a minions Rockpool Hunter or Dragonspawn Lieutenant to start off, because you will usually win or tie for rounds 1 and 2.
2. Know every card and what they do. It's very important to know what cards you are looking for. My aforementioned friend would frequently run out of time because he would have to read through every card, and wouldn't exactly know what he was looking for. I advise getting the Hearthstone deck tracker. Not only will it show you what cards are available in each tier, but it also shows you the percent chances of the outcomes of each battle, and it remembers the boards of opponents you previously faced. Coincidentally, that leads me right into my next point.
3. Positioning and remembering opponent's board states are super important. Even guessing what they could be if you haven't faced them yet. An example of this would be if you see someone running 7 Elementals, it would be safe to guess that they either have a rather beefy Lieutenant Garr or Molten Rock that could be dealt with using an appropriately placed Poisonous minion. Additionally, there are key placing points for each type of build. I will provide the best examples possible.
Mechs: I usually like to have 1 or 2 Deflect-o-Bots attacking first and second, immediately followed up by a Mech with Taunt that will spawn more mechs, refreshing the Divine Shields.
Demons: If you get a Soul Juggler, make sure it's all the way on the right side of your board, so your Demons have a chance to proc as many Juggler hits as possible.
Thank you screw, I appreciate the time you took to type all that out.
Unfortunately, with my learning disability I learn through doing and guidance as opposed to video and book. Made school a real difficult task.
Would you be willing to watch a game and see what you think please?
My availability is pretty low these days, but if I ever get the chance, sure. Feel free to send a friend request to me on hearthstone. My battle net username is under my profile picture to the left.

Hello,
I'm trying to learn BG and after reading and watching videos, I just don't get it.
Wondering if someone would be willing to spectate (if you you even can) and help explain what is going on and where I keep making my mistakes at please.
Maybe even a discord, etc. Unsure, but I have fun at it, just am not very good at all.
Thanks everyone.

Pirates: You will want your Southsea Captains, Ripsnarl Captains, and Dread Admiral Elizas to the right as well, so your other Pirates have a chance to buff themselves and the board.
The list could go on. Once again, i'm no pro, but these are mistakes I noticed someone making before. I hope some of this was helpful
