Way too much to list, just be persistent. You can read guides all you want, but you have to play to really learn. The meta is about to change, but once it settles you need to learn the most common decks and what cards they generally run. That way your not just putting down cards to see what happens. You have to have a good idea of what your opponent will probably do. Watch streams or vod's of the pros play, it's not usually big plays that separate the average player from the great, its the small ones.
Also, the biggest complaint from new players... "I don't have any good cards so I suck" which is completely false. The cards you have do matter, but to a lesser degree than you would think. There are videos out there where people get to legend rank with the most basic of decks. Just keep at it. I hit legend 2 seasons ago with a deck that cost less than 1800 dust, with 0 legendarys, it's possible.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. - T. E. Lawrence
I think the most important thing in constructed is to know the archetypes of decks, planning/being prepared for win conditions like Tyrion in paladin decks, Grommash in warrior decks, Ysera in most priest control etc. This is what wins games.
Best way to prepare IMO is to watch tournaments on twitch, because you get to see the whole meta opposed to watching ladderplay as it has been mainly priest/hunters the last couple of months.
If your interested in playing for some time and want to collect all/most of the cards:
1) Play arena - never buy packs for 100g (it's inneficient, only noobs and ppl who spend hundreds of $$$ do this)
2) Learn how to get better at arena by using arena tier lists to guide your draft choices and by watching streamers - I like Trump the best and he puts out loads on YouTube also
3) Decide what your goals are and DE according to that. In my opinion you should never DE an epic or legendary you don't have multiples of but if you have few cards then at least don't DE any legendaries or useful epics. I don't DE gold cards but if your not fussed they're fine to dust.
4) In constructed pick a solid deck and stick with it - make adjustments of cards here and there for improvements against the meta
5) Have fun it's only a game ;)

How to become ∞ at arena: - practice, practice, win, dominate, profit.
I can add that you should always consider to use your heropower (if it is interactive) instead of playing a card, especially in arena. If the card is not valuable, keep it for the later stages in the game so that you have more options against the enemy board.
I remember when I first started I played around with all the classes and settled on hunter/druid/warlock being my favorites. Simply because they reminded me of my favorite MTG decks I played. BEcause I enjoyed playing them, I got better over time at building decks for these classes. Now I can play a popular priest deck, but I dont know enough to put one together.
TL;DR find a class or two or three you like and stick with them.
PS dont disenchant stuff unless you have extra
After games write down mistakes you made. Review it later.
Say your greetings, then squelch your opponent. It makes the match better for both of you.
Really? I know it helps the opponent a bit, but if I make a misplay I can't help but say "Oops", or I get a really lucky draw and fell honour-bound to apologise.
Hi!
A question to players with some experience in this game, that had already learned something (or a lot) from winning or losing.
If you could give an advice about what you have learned from this game, what it would be?

Thanks FOO(The Banner God)!
Read guides.

Don't DE non-golden cards until you have more than 2 of them, you'll regret it.

20K G's saved up every new expansion.

Spend as much real money as you can on this game so that Blizzard can use it for continuous development of the game and/or server upgrades.
that's the only advice that i bother giving.
"Put your face in the light!" - Tirion Fordring
- It's not a race 30-0
- Know when to trade and when go face
- Don't put all buffs on a single minion.
- Don't flood the board on turn 6 vs a mage, on turn 3 vs a pally, on turn 4 or 5 vs a priest, on turn 5 vs a warrior.. etc.
And be very wary about playing a minion and buffing it the same turn. You can easily see it dead before it gets a chance to act.
Safer to play, and then next turn, buff and attack.

My advice:
Mass removals are never enough
Always put removal bait in your deck, and trick the opponent on spending stuff on it.
Try to save silences, removals and mind controls for when specific targets show up (like Auctioneer in Miracle Rogue, Ragnaros, Kel'Thuzad, etc.)
Really? I know it helps the opponent a bit, but if I make a misplay I can't help but say "Oops", or I get a really lucky draw and fell honour-bound to apologise.
I refuse to come up with a creative signature.
Always be sure of what you will do before you do it.
You should try playing this game while you're high as f*ck.
