Id like to know if there is a way to learn to mulligan correctly without paying for hsreplay... Here's why...
I have only been playing for about a year so I'm kinda new and I have a hard time Climbing ladder. (Never been to rank 5) Sometimes I play a decent deck and get lucky on a winstreak and make it to rank 6 with full stars but I can never beat the "final boss". After I lose that game I usually lose until I'm back at 10. I've been doing this since the WW expansion.
I THOUGHT this would end after the sets that I was not around for rotated and I had a full set coupled with everyone piloting a newish deck type.... Nothing has changed.
I usually change decks after a few losses to change things up but that's when the real tilt starts. I seem to run into decks that counter mine right after I switch, as if it was almost deliberately queueing me against my counter. I know this is not the case and my reason for losing is entirely up to how I play and what misplays I'm making, I just can't seem to identify them.
I watch a ton of streamers to try to learn the game and usually feel like I'm piloting any given deck the correct way but I can help but feel like I only win when I highroll and only lose when my opponent does the same.
Does anyone feel the same? If anyone has some constructive criticism or advice on how to learn the game better that would be great. It would be really cool to maybe even gain some friends in the game that can spectate me and tell me what my misplays were out even play a game or two back and forth to see if it's just me or luck.
I'll probably just get directed to the salt thread but it's worth a shot.
I find playing fast aggressive decks the best to start climbing with in just about any format/meta. Quicker games = learn your deck's faster/ learn the meta faster/ streak faster.

You can use HSReplay mulligan data without paying up; it's just lower quality because you can't specify your opponent's class. Still, that data is invaluable to an inexperienced player. Just try to use your intuition and think about why each card has a low/high mulligan winrate. Generally speaking, cards with high wr and kept rate are just good cards. Ones with lower kept rate but still high wr are things you want to keep against certain decks or classes
Changing decks is bad if you only want to climb. At rank 5 and under, the meta is not developed enough to try and counter your opponents. You're better off just playing what is most powerful. Sticking to one deck will help you learn to pilot the deck much faster. On the other hand, trying other decks will make you a better player overall and is generally more fun. Playing more decks helps you gain perspective on what your opponents are trying to accomplish and trains you to think flexibly. Having fun is important too. If games are enjoyable, you'll play more of them and depending on the player, this might matter for climbing more than the winrate itself
When spectating streamers, make sure you're actively trying to learn and that you're spectating streamers that focus on educating their viewers. You're looking for streamers who explain their plays. Also, watching an arena streamer isn't going to help you much with constructed. Think hard about mulligans and other decisions before the player makes them. If the streamer makes a different play, take note of their explanation
If you feel like you are winning/losing via highrolls and dislike this, I suggest changing your deck. Certain decks are more RNG than others but there are a few that are just plain consistent if you play correctly
Salt thread is for salty plebs to vent. You're looking for constructive criticism and help. If you want people to spectate you in game, you'll probably need to share your tag and region. Alternatively, you can tell us what decks you're playing and we can give you some general tips. If you have some questionable games, feel free to post the replay and we can critique that too

Yes I play token druid with some success. I'm like 20-13 with it. I just get really bored really quick playing those decks. I enjoy the new waggle rogue a lot but I'm not great at it yet.

Thank you for your replies. This is all highly valid and valuable information and I greatly appreciate it. It's hard not to try to pick the highest winrate deck and go with it. I will try just playing the decks I like and getting better at them.
When I said highroll I mostly mean the highroll of the nut draw. That's why I asked about mulligan because I think if I mulligan right I'll have the right cards in hand for my opponent.

what server are you playing? I can spectate you to see if you making any mistake. You can find me on EU with DashAkol#21506.

Yes I play token druid with some success. I'm like 20-13 with it. I just get really bored really quick playing those decks. I enjoy the new waggle rogue a lot but I'm not great at it yet.

I'm not even sure what server I play on. Probably NA I guess.
