Title says 2024 but he says "this year is the Year of the Hydra" which was 2022, and the video was released a year ago. Can you title your video accurately please? I'm trying to find up to date information.

[@Charlotte_Katakuri_DonutEater]

Is because when he was recording the video it was released 2022 and can you no think?

[@alexrusselldev]

@@Charlotte_Katakuri_DonutEater yeah so it’s a 2022 beginners guide, missing stuff from all the updates since. The title is wrong.

Does each gamemode have it's own ladder? So the gamemodes don't affect each other?

[@BBGshop7]

This game is so fun !

[@Danznutzz]

Do you have to actually reach bronze from apprentice 40 to play the other modes (wild) ? Because that is crazy, it was much quicker years ago.?

[@danielhouwen7562]

Thanks for the video dude! Got back in the game after 3 years and didn't understand shit about all the new things haha.

[@leonardoschramm4296]

Really good guide and video. Keep it up!

[@ChauPau]

Thanks, will do!

[@hermanyuen4046]

Love your vids. Thinking of returning to the game after more than 2 years. A light spender back in the days, but I forgot which packs I stopped at. Any ways to confirm which packs I still have the guarantee legendary card in the first 10 packs bonus? I've returned to the game before, so I am not getting the free deck again. Any suggestions for which mode to focus on to catch up to the game and make gold/dust faster would be appreciated! Oh...and I used to love playing midrange beast hunter and dragon priest.

[@ChauPau]

I don't think you can check if you have the 10 pack legendary or not. You kinda just have to remember. I'd say just playing arena if you want to familiarize yourself with some new cards and potentially make gold. If you don't want to spend any gold just standard is fine. Also midrange beast hunter is strong right now but also expensive if you want to try a new "old" deck

[@hermanyuen4046]

@@ChauPau Arena? I afraid I will get 0 wins repeatedly. Was it 2-3 wins to break even?

[@ChauPau]

@@hermanyuen4046 3 wins breaks even but if you're not confident in then maybe not. Playing duels uses the same idea so if you get a lot of wins in that then you can make gold. Other than that, there isn't a way to get a lot of gold quickly unfortunately

[@DavidDavid-zz5kt]

Hey i love the video, just a quick question when are packs available for beginners, currently in my shop all packs require actual money … none for the 100 gold

[@ChauPau]

Thanks for the love! I'm going to be honest, I don't know exactly why you can't buy your packs with gold. I'd make sure that you've competed all of the tutorials and gotten to level 10 with every class though hopes this helps

[@lukegg9025]

You can buy with gold

[@knotkool1]

what are the blue gem things awarded at the end of a game?

[@1jasup]

Is this still applicable today? Installed the game this week. Been mainly playing practice mode and mercenaries. No clue what I should be doing and scared to death to play a real person.

[@gosuhenke]

Classic mode seems fun

[@arnoldasbucys7786]

Rlly good guide, not gonna lie. edit: HE EXPLAINED EVEN ATRIBES AND SPELLSCHOOLS! HOLY MOLY!! :O

[@codenamexelda]

You need to play more tcgs.

[@thegrinchCAPO]

What about undead? You didn’t go over undead minions and maybe death knight

[@shocknawe]

Whats the best way of getting dust and packs? And: Is the battlepass free?

[@ChauPau]

The battlepass is free but you have the option of buying the "tavern pass" which gives you the rewards on the top of the battlepass, an exp boost, and some other rewards. The best way to get dust and packs is to farm arena/duels. But if you're a beginner you probably don't have the skills to do that. Honestly all you can do is complete the quests for the battlepass rewards and buy packs with the gold you get. I recommend checking out this video for a way to grind the battlepass afk. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGimd6Csqq1smKM

uh. spells put nothing on the board? what about spells that put minions on the board?

[@bigman5403]

I keep getting “error starting game try again in a few minutes” and I’m in the tutorial what do I do?

[@ChauPau]

try going to options in the battlenet launcher and clicking the "scan and repair" option. Hopefully that will work

[@rozthepuffer1037]

I saved around 1.5k gold by now, I thought the 2k gold bundle deal is worth it. But is it actually good? or do I use my gold on something else?

[@rozthepuffer1037]

I see, so you can look for extra cards by typing "extra" in your collection search bar?

[@ChauPau]

The 2k gold mini set deal is worth it. You get wayyy more legendary cards if you buy the mini set compared to if you spend in on packs. If you want, I talk about how to spend your gold in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYGZZGhqpcqrq5Y

[@ChauPau]

[@ChauPau]

everything in this guide and my other ones are still relevant to learning Hearthstone

[@KJPAYCE]

Compliments on a great guide. I myself am a newbie (been playing 1 month) and am at Apprentice 31 (which is a little tree .. don't tell Sylvannas). I have a funny feeling I may not see the Bronze league for many months to come. What is the MMR system like in the non apprentice leagues? I read something about star bonuses.

[@ChauPau]

I think the MMR system in the regular ranks just matches people who are similar rank, not too sure though. The star bonuses are there for winstreak rewards and bonuses for the previous seasons

Omg can you help? I am so confused why I am playing Casual, but can’t add the cards from two years ago or more to my deck. I already have them, and I really want to use them.

[@ChauPau]

When you're crafting a deck, go to the right and hover over the deck name. From there, click "covert to wild". There, you should be able to add wild cards from 2 years ago. I show what I mean + more help for your Hearthstone collection in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIW7YXdojNmid7c hope this helps :)
