Hearthstone Arena and Commentary: Druid #4 (MISTAKES WERE MADE) Part 2
6A lot of players over-emphasize the importance of the draft in Hearthstone Arena. That is, they seem to think that once you've drafted your deck, your arena results are decided on the spot. It's as if drafting the cards is comparable to winding up a wind-up toy, while playing out the games is merely a matter of watching the toy run. It goes where it goes, and you have no control over the outcome.
I could not disagree more wholeheartedly! Drafting well is paramount, of course. But so is playing the right cards in the right order with the right decisions! In this video, we see some opponents make fundamental strategic errors, leaving creatures alive when they shouldn't. And you might think, "Okay, well, those are obvious n00b mistakes, I'll just not make those and be fine." But even I, an accomplished player, make missteps too, in every video. It's insanely difficult to play Hearthstone flawlessly.
As you all acquire your beta keys and delve into the richness that is Hearthstone, I urge you to give serious weight to the quality of your play, as well as to the quality of your drafting. A good player will draft a better deck than a mediocre player, but a good player will also make more of the *same* deck than a mediocre player.
