I'm just interested - what do you have of superior skills, besides playing hearthstone...
I did often feel like people, playing card games a lot, do have some special skills, aside. Like having a sense for numbers or an incredible good working memory.
But to actually answer your question, I would argue that the most important skill for improving HS is actually being willing to be critical of your own performance. Watch replays of your games and look for mistakes. Learn from them. It's easy to blame the RNG, Blizzard, etc. for your loss: it's much harder to blame yourself. More often than you realize, when you rage that your opponent got a lucky topdeck, you'll find that if you had eliminated your mistakes, you'd have won anyway.
My other piece of advice is, if at all possible, craft and play a deck that you find difficult to beat. It'll give you a better sense of that deck's style, win conditions, weaknesses, etc. There are people who rage against deck X here who, as near as I can tell, have never actually played the deck and so don't understand how to beat it. Good luck!

Personally it's card games and the fact that luck is nothing (you gotta focus on math to have the right thinking process, and to not rage after a bad beat).
I started playing Hearthstone a couple years after poker NL hold'em, where I got my first thousand when I was 17yo. I won tournaments in both games, started playing MTG and after a month I won a tournament even there.
Hey yo,

oh yea, what are your special skills?
I'm incredible at procrastinating!
I'm pretty good with a bowstaff.
I know, right?! Thumbs up! from my side.
Is that some "We need to talk about Kevin"-reference? If so, its funny and doubtful at the same time, so i like that, too.
Is beer drinking a skill?

Beer drinking is always a skill, forever.
Music. But I would be even more skillful if I didn’t waste so many hours playing this game.
Take a walk on the wild side...
Completely on your side, too.
