I’m by no means a new player. I’ve spent a lot of time, a decent amount of money, and even hit legend a few times. However, I still feel like I don’t play as well as I should or actually understand the game in general. For example, you can give me a miracle rogue, I can tell you that there’s almost no reason to save your coldbloods for Leeroy in the late game, and that as togwaggle druid you shouldn’t play your arcane tyrants against warlock because of their disruption. However, these things are from my own experience and theorizing. I haven’t found any of those things from other sources. Where do I go (or send people) to learn actual hearthstone strategy?
Technically you can't. These are indeed the kind of things taught by experience. I used to "overextend" as i heard it when i was a wee hearth player, a lot. It never felt fair that a class like mage or warlock could just wipe my board with single spells! Then i learned how to ACCOUNT for those plays and basically think more than 1 move ahead. Im not saying there couldnt be videos explaining these types of things, in fact i kinda want to make some myself now that you say something, but overall this game as i tell new people is "Easy to learn, hard to memorize" because one key thing i notice is the more cards you're aware of in game, the more likely you are to find better strategies/pick apart your opponents strategies. Like a new player reading your post probably has no idea what "miracles" have to do with rogue or what an arcane tyrant even is, but when they do they'll know the same things you know.

Hi i'm Tyler and I play hearthstone and watch anime.
Sometimes i make cards. I'd like to do that for a career one day if ever possible.
Pretty sure you can hire a pro to coach you. Outside of that, you have to go out and meet people. Go to events, try to make friends. Maybe join a local team or something and practice with teammates where they can tell you your flaws. Unless you are trying to go pro, it doesn't sound like you need to improve because the next step to improving is being a tournament player.
That definitely helps with the understanding of the game as a whole, but what about learning how a matchup works? Some place that discusses what decks are good and why? What makes a good card? Why does a deck beat another? That’s great for general use, but what about the specifics?

I wouldn’t mind helping on an article or video about that, if you’re at all serious about making one.

Speaking from experience a lot of it is trial and error, playing around with the cards you have to see how they interact. This helps you work out what type of deck you’re good at, because that is important. I’m great at Rogue, Mage and Hunter decks in general. Don’t give we a Warlock or Priest deck, even if it is tier 1.
Once you’ve established that, netdeck a good deck that ideally you don’t have to craft much for. From there watch a heap of videos or live streams of that deck and play some games. This is where you get your understanding of specific matchups.
I was always rank 4/5. Since reading the guide I’ve improved dramatically.
