WELL MET!
Introduction
Since the old threads are long since dead, I decided I would take it upon myself to help continue discussion on HEARTHSTONE. Well, "What is Hearthstone?" you ask? Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is an online collectible card game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. It is free-to-play with optional purchases to acquire additional cards and access content quicker. Hearthstone is available on Microsoft Windows and OS X systems and on Windows 8, iOS and Android touchscreen devices. New content for the game involves the addition of new card sets and gameplay, such as from the Goblins vs. Gnomes expansion pack and the Blackrock Mountain adventure.

Tutorial
Here's a basic tutorial for all you noobies:
Some of the cheapest and most reliable decks are Face Hunter and Warlock Zoo. I highly recommend them if you're just starting out.
Video tutorials on these decks can be found here and here, respectively. (Videos may be outdated, but the concepts behind the decks and how you play them are the same.)
F2P decklists can be found here, as well.
Meta
The Hearthstone meta is ever changing, with new decks being discovered and cards being balanced and new cards being added quite frequently, the Hearthstone meta is anything but stale, with deck archetypes fluctuating in and out of viability constantly.
The top decks as of July 27, 2015 are:
-Grim Patron Warrior (Control/Combo)
-Oil Rogue (Burst Rogue) (Combo)
-Midrange Hunter (Midrange)
-Handlock (Warlock) (Control)
-Demonzoo (Warlock) (Midrange)
Endtroduction
That's about it, really. If you're really new and still confused, I recommend looking through Trump's channel on YouTube for more informational videos. Need deck advice? What deck(s)/class(es)/mode(s )are you playing this month? Any undiscovered decks/strats you'd like to share?
