To reiterate, tempo aims for board presence and to dictate the pace of the game. Face Hunter and it’s slower version, Hybrid Hunter Aggro is a popular playstyle, as they are low-dust decks that can be seen anywhere between Rank 25 and the top Legend ranks. Aggro decks aim to close out the game early with their fast-paced gameplay, cheap cards and raw efficiency. Short for aggressive, aggro decks are well-known for their early-game focus on board control and their mid to lategame focus on the opponent’s face. Hearthstone has five major deck archetypes, all with their own playstyles and respective preferred card choices: Aggro, Tempo, Midrange, Control and Combo. Win conditions can be different for each deck, so it’s good to know yours.įor further learning on core and class-specific concepts, I would like to refer you to Trump’s Teachings series! For Control, it can mean outlasting your opponent and being able to finish your opponent off with your late-game. For Aggro, it can mean having enough out on the board to finish off your opponent in the next turn or two. On a side note, tempo usually means you end up sacrificing card advantage for board advantage Win ConditionsĪ win condition is achieved when the state of the game is at the point to grant you victory. All these cards swing the board instantly to your favor, instantly putting your opponent on the reactive. Some cards can grant you some serious tempo, such as the aforementioned Innervate, Rogue’s Sap, Mage’s Flamewaker, the Warlock’s Void Terror and, in most situations, Sylvanas Windrunner as well. As Reinhardt told me: You’re asking the questions, while your opponent provides the answer. You gain tempo in a variety of situations, such as forcing your opponent to deal with your threats inefficiently, getting value, or by putting lots of pressure on your opponent. Tempo in its essence is putting a player on the reactive, while the player gaining tempo is on the proactive. I would like to note, that while card advantage is an advantage it may not win you as many games as you expect it to. I now have card advantage over my opponent, as I now have possibly more threats or more efficient answers to his threats. Later in the game, I play Ancient of Lore and opt to draw two cards. The Hunter has not only gained card advantage, but stopped the Druid's tempo as well (explained below). The Hunter then responds with a Freezing Trap. I respond with an Innervate and a Piloted Shredder. I will give an example situation of a match where both players at different points of the game gain card advantage. Card advantage is also gained when you can answer a threat more efficiently than it was put out, and vice-versa. One way is by drawing more cards than your opponent, with cards such as Gnomish Inventor or using Warlock’s Life Tap. Card AdvantageĬard advantage can be gained in two forms. Value can be gained through a spell, buff, good trades or card synergy/combos. Value is getting the most out of your cards.
