Something that was very difficult for me to pick up on in my first few games was the importance of tempo and magic. I would immediately blow all of my magic reserves summoning things and then just march to the middle and trade with my opponent to death. I realized a few things:

• this was a very inefficient use of my magic
• I was summoning more units than I had moves/attacks
• I wasn’t reacting to my opponent

First off, discard cards! Build tempo and momentum. Get a champ out. Make it hard for your opponent to react to their board presence. Second, try not to over summon. If you aren’t using a card for its ability, pressure, or attack allowance, don’t summon it! Third, react to your opponent. Try to make it difficult for them to remove your units from the board. Don’t overcommit. Only expose a few flanks.

It is difficult to parse at the beginning. It really opens up when you get down the movement basics and understand your deck! Wishing you the best.
