For the uninitiated, Hearthstone is a free-to-play digital collectible card game (CCG) which has a somewhat similar gameplay to Magic: The Gathering and Yugi-Oh. Players get to choose from nine different Heroes/Classes (Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock and Warrior) and each has its own unique set of cards and hero abilities which they can use once each turn.
