Hey everyone, I started playing HearthStone this week.
Right now I unlocked every class, and Warrior is probably my favourite. But I have some question:
-How to get better cards?(I'm usually losing because most of my cards are weak, tried 3-4 fights with other players, I'm just practicing with AI right now)
-How to play good?(okay, that's a stupid question but I'll expain: should I watch twitch/YT/read guides to become better? Anything more?)
watch people on twitch that explain their moves. trump, reynad, khymera are all good about that. read guides, and practice. do your daily quests each day to get gold, then buy packs or play arena. Playing arena will help you improve your gameplay. Welcome and best of luck.

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count and those that can't.
To get more cards you should simply play more. Do your daily quests and reroll all 40 gold quests that you get. Once you're good enough to "go infinite" in arena (win more gold than you pay to enter), then that is going to be your best source of packs. However, since you're new, it'll probably be a while until you are that good.
If you want to learn to play better I suggest watching streams. A good streamer for "beginners" would be Trump. He's good at explaining the reasons behind the way he plays and he is great at teaching you how to properly value your cards. And he has a youtube channel where you can watch both arena and constructed 'on demand'.
Apart from that, the only advice I have is: Dont give up. You WILL hit a wall eventually. At that point it will seem like everyone has better decks than you and every good card/deck you face is OP. But dont get discouraged at that point. Eventually you'll break through the 'wall' and start winning more.
streamers to watch: hyped, trump, amaz, kripp, dog, mickin, sjow, rdu, thijs, and so on
get naxx, practice, once your comfortable start doing arena, it will almost always be more efficient to get cards than just buying packs. + if you enjoy the game, might be worth considering buying naxx and 40 packs with real money. it will be a great investment and a good start to your collection.
Arena is useless for new players. For the time being, buying packs is more efficient and helps you to familiarize yourself with the other classes and how the game flows. Once you feel comfortable enough, sure go ahead, try it out a few times and decide for yourself if it's worth it or not.
Also, Naxx has excellent card rewards to add to your decks.
it'll take some grinding to get some cards if you want to go the f2p route, so either grind it out or pay for the cards
as you get more experience in the game, you should go play arena to get better + to get more cards/rewards/gold/dusts/etc.
arena will suck for you as a beginner, but if you dont start you'd always suck in the arena
there are many arena guides, you'll find your wins/loss ratio go up eventually and see that you're improving
initiallly you'll lose lose and lose some more, once you start learning + getting better, you'd go past that
only advice is to never give up, hearthstone is a very competitive game, you either get better at itor you suck so much you think the game sucks, which is why you see lots and lots of whiners/complainers about the game, but as you get better and better you'd enjoy a bit more
Unfortunately there's no F2P warrior for reference but it all boils down to playing in a way that give the advantage to you i.e. value which is true for just about any card game really. Below is an example of what a free to play warrior deck would look like :-
If you have unlocked Naxx's wings, I highly recommend adding some value naxx cards i.e. Haunted Creeper 2x, Sludge Belcher 2x, Death's Bite x2 and Loetheb to replace some of the commons in the list. Once you get the hang of it, you could go for a super aggro to-the-face style warrior which doesnt cost an arm and leg like its control warrior brethren.
1) Buy packs. Arena is a waste of gold if you can't make a profit (which means constantly getting 5 wins or more), so just keep buying packs. Don't disenchant anything unless you absolutely have to. Also, don't craft commons. Save your dust for fancy Rares and Epics.
2) Watch Trump. Back in the day, I watched his arena runs for hours and learnt a lot from them. Especially with his new iDraft series, you learn a lot about how to evaluate cards in general.
3) Especially if you're playing Warrior, you have to understand that Hearthstone is not a game of health but a game of resources. Your life total is nothing but another resource to use. Don't be afraid to grab that Arcanite Reaper and smash your face into that Stranglethorn Tiger if its means you are saving 2 or more of your guys. Board control and card advantage are both way more important and are more likely to win you the game than a healthy life total.

since you have limited card collection atm, i suggest you playing aggro/midrange style
it at least gives you a chance
if you try to play a control style, you'll get owned with just basic cards because control decks are filled with late game legendaries
one of the best guides is found on liquidhearth, here's the link http://www.liquidhearth.com/guides/
it'll take some grinding to get some cards if you want to go the f2p route, so either grind it out or pay for the cards
as you get more experience in the game, you should go play arena to get better + to get more cards/rewards/gold/dusts/etc.

I highly recommend watching Trump's free to play series on youtube. Here's a link to his YT channel :- http://www.youtube.com/user/TrumpSC
