More Hints as to the July 22nd announcement
Blizzard sent out another tweet on July 9th, of a picture from a book showing what appears to be a female blood elf with a herald trumpet. It came with the following text:
“Champions are individuals who courageously answer the call of those who require their aid!”
The German Hearthstone twitter account had a similar tweet that read:
“A champion is someone who has outdone all his comrades-in-arms in a competition.”
They also posted a new blog post on July 8th that had some interesting things.
“Today was something else! The air was filled with the happy hubbub of folks dueling away and enjoying one another’s company…. The funny thing was , most of ‘em were wearing the shiniest armor you ever saw – including the magic-using types! I even saw murlocs all geared up in plate”

A key part of the mindset is evaluating all options before making a decision on what to play. Top players don’t make a play without considering all possible situations and the repercussions from each.
Knowing how to think through that process is vital. Below we list a few steps you can take to consider each turn.

* Do you have lethal?

Of course this would be something you likely won’t have to consider until mid/late game. This step also includes planning for a potential lethal in your next 2-3 turns.

* Could your opponent have lethal?

This step makes you consider not only what they have on the board but what they could potentially have in their hand. For example, a Druid with a few minions on the board might have [Savage Roar] in their hand which could be lethal.

* How do I win this game?

I know it seems like the obvious question, but you do need to be asking yourself this question. What can I do this turn that will help me win this game. Just like in the game of chess, you should be constantly looking several turns ahead. Yes your opponent’s actions may change your plans but plan ahead anyway.
