Just want to say, even though I play way too much BGs and this info isn't new to me, the way you present it is still very entertaining. It's clear, informative, well thought out, and you made the whole 27 minutes fly by. You have a knack for this and I look forward to seeing where your content goes.

People say winning is top 3, I would say winning is getting at least top 8 B)
We're so lucky to get this instructional advice from such a top-tier player as yourself. Thanks for taking the time to make all these videos recently! I'll watch every one, and I hope this helps your channel grow as you deserve it to for the hard work and expertise poured into these. Thanks, Jeef!
I feel like I've gained 2k points just by watching this video lol, I'm constantly finishing 1st or 2nd in my games just applying what you explain in the video, thanks !
I feel like you have gotten way better at explaining your ideas over the years. Nice to see.
just subbed. I REALLY like how you visually show scenarios on the screen, it is INCREDIBLY helpful.
The quizzes showing specific board states were rly helpful and eye opening :)
Good video! Definitely had to go back and listen twice to a few segments but really informative stuff in here I haven't played battlegrounds in a long time so feels good to be back
This is so good, and so much content. I'll probably be watching this over and over, from time to time.
This is by far the best guide ive ever seen for battlegrounds the examples and information in this is worth so much
Been playing HS for many years and always stayed out of BGs. It’s extremely intimidating and overwhelming for a new player. It’s like you’re not even playing HS anymore. They really need a practice mode for BGs so the timer isn’t preventing you from playing around in the shop to see how things work. Thanks for posting this. It’s a lot of info to take in, it’s great to have a resource to at least start.
Lmao at that credentials bit 😂 Thanks for the great videos, man. Really informative and entertaining!
This video was so helpful. I've been getting a lot more 1st place finishes after watching this. Keep it up Jeef.
actuallly needed this because this is so helpful for curves.
Appreciate both the general and specific principles. Thank you for taking the time to explain leveling in such detail!
This is the best BG guide ever. Even better than Jeef's other guides which were all the best. Very well written and highly informative. Thank you Jeef.
Informative, well-explained, and I LOVE the practice questions. Thank you for making this!
He is goated with the guides, looking forward to seeing what else you have coming up 😊
As a newcomer to BGs this is really awesome. Watching streamers consistently finish 1st and 2nd is really no mystery anymore after watching this video. GGs!
key takeaway from this video: DON’T BUY TRASH!
Nice vid jeef, ty for taking your time making this
Great in-depth analysis, thx Jeef 🙏
Really enjoyed the recent uploads. Looking forward to more. Thanks, Jeef
Great to see you fill out the educational Battlegrounds spot after itsBen stopped recording! Awesome video :)
1:24 the play here is actually to buy the wrathweaver, freeze, then heropower the wrathweaver. this way the wrathweaver is unfrozen at the end of the turn (with frontdrake and coin still frozen)

Thanks! Really helpfull, great examples, Nice structured explanation of your thinking
Just got back into BGS and was thinking the other day “I wish there was a good recent video breaking down leveling curves.” Thanks man!
great video man. excited to implement those tips in my gameplay as well :)
it's so rad that jeef is puttin so much work into spreading knowledge about the game. very commendable
You're getting way better at these videos keep it up!
Watched this earlier today and played 3 BG games tonight. 1st, 2nd, and 1st. Honestly it helped me out so much. Thank you for this.
Amazing video Jeef! Thank you
Thanks man, need more videos like this!
Thank you for your thorough breakdown of leveling, I've heard of the reasoning before from Shadybunny, shit units so it's better to level, but never could understand the particulars. Especially the early tiers, thank you so much Jeef
Jeef just dropping quality content! Love it!
these vis are so helpfull to us lower mmr, great work, plz keep them coming.
Greetings from Sweden! I love your teaching videos, use them to try and better my game keep em coming :)
U should upload more. I just discovered your channel and already in love with it
Thanks for sharing this!
Imagine questioning Jeef’s credentials and then finding out who he is 😂

Amazing guide been playing for like 3 years and it was still clutch
Great video. Very helpful.
I don't got friends, but amazing guide man. Very easy to understand, and the quizzes are a great touch
Thank you mate, murloc dragon was trash to me until you showed me that pairing. Missed a beat on that one
I'm a newer BG player, started just two weeks ago or so, and these videos are helping me put things into perspective. Hopefully I remember enough to have it affect my gameplay ^_^
You boldly called this out as the most important battlegrounds video ever. I have to admit, I rolled my eyes at that comment. HOWEVER… I think you were right. This completely changed the way I think about the early and mid game and my play is greatly improved after watching this video. I’m a mid player who plays once or twice a day, and I breezed from 7k - 8k after I fully grasped the meaning of some of your remarks. 10/10 content. Thanks and kudos!
Very educational video, as are all your streams. From a cameraman’s point of view this tip for next vid: make sure your camera is focused on you and you have a calm background. It’s a shame if your viewers get distracted by an out of focus video where a lot if happening in the (focused) background.
Love these educational videos! More please
You are so underrated, you have so many good tips and your voice is so beautiful and soothing to listen to, plz start doing whisper/talk asmr in addition to your normal stuff
Bro even with 8k MMR I learned so much in this vid. It's really appreciated ❤
I just started playing Hs again after a few years, and BG like 3 days ago. I suck so bad lol, but your vid def gave me some insight on what I need to do. Crazy how lost I feel currently, lol, but def seems learnable.
great editing, great script, great tips, 10/10
Hi Jeef. I just hit 7k mmr right after leaning stuff from your VDO! Many thanks 🙏 I think the most important message from this video that hits me is 'Don't buy trash'.
Amazing video man.
thankyou that was very helpful
Awesome video bro please bless us with more
let go! Thanks Jeef!!
amazing video!
I really liked the example board states. It would be cool to show harder decisions board and have you other top players discuss them
Battlegrounds didn't even exist when I stopped playing hearthstone, so as a new comer to the mode I really appreciate your guides. Probably would have had a way harder time or bounced right the hell off the mode it without them.
It is absolutely outlandish how much better at the game this video made me. I was starting from mega garbage though lol.
thanks for a great explanation
Jeef wants us to be the best BGs players we can be... that's really cool
thanks, great video!
thanks for explanation bro
as a 25y mtg player with certain significant results over the past decade and a half, i started playing heartstone about 5 weeks ago and am mainly active in battle grounds, struggling this week to break 7k points and I found this video usefull, as most of the exceptions seemed obvious to me and several I have used, but some of the standard curve I should take notice, because I now learned I should be more firm on leveling instead of buying semi-trash or rolling to try and get non-trash. Also I'm kind of glad lubby is gone, because with him I often found i couldn't finish my gold/turns as to many choices aren't automatic. Also I still need to find out how to properly scale undead's and beasts because I don't know when to sell and improve on those as well as for others.
I'm close to hitting 6k because of a lot of the info in this video. Thanks a ton.
What a chill ass dude
Good content. Commenting for the algorithm
I'm only going to tell you that i'm a casual 6.5k player with my mobile phone and after watching this "don't but crap" thing I won at first game 😅 by leveling instead of buying crap, which allowed me to get core beast minions before opponents.
watched it twice liked and subscribed greetings from the country side of Chile
Shared! LOL Even though I am the new player :3 Still though this is a very newbie friendly way to explain it. Helps if you come over from another card game, and did have to replay some of it, but super helpful!
i cant remember the last time I watched an entire youtube video instead of just pasting the transcript into chatgpt, very nice
I took notes so you don't have to -don't buy trash! -standard curve 2 on 2 -jeef curve 2 on 3 (need 1 drops + coin) -rafam curve 2 on 4 -always curve out shops tavern 3: -standard 3 on 5 -don't be scared to go 3 on 3 -3 on 4 to not buy trash -always think about the next turn -freeze 1 or 2 cost spells if ill have excess gold next turn, spending on rolling is game LOSING. tavern 4: -look at board state to determine if I should level -4 on 4 if my shops are too trash to buy (last case resort) 4 on 5 if you cant double buy just level w/ 7 gold -4 on 6 vs 4 on 7, how many units does my board have (full = level) , leveling past turn 7 is not playing for top 4. (strong = level) tavern 5/6 -not about turn # for tavern 5/6 -can lvl as early as 5 on 7 or 5 on 12 :what am I leveling for? -my board is good enough for 6 -I want to search for 5 drop direction -I have pairs/elise so i can triple into 6 drops invalid answers deal 1 extra dmg, bc i can :) -dont lvl to 6 if i need 5 drops -tribe specific, eles and pirates favor high rolling on taverns 5/6 -roll tavern 4 w/ QB/ dems -will I die if i level? -31 hp, solid tempo, direction options 5/6 -15 hp, weak board, need stabilizing units -always utilize every mana crystal, don't just spend on rolls

ur the man
The play turn 1 is "pick wrath wreaver, freeze and jandice HP" 😎😎 Nice video btw !
I think it would be cool to see playing scenarios with bad luck like how to play that stuff because 90% of videos involve high rolls
A guide about triples and/or rolling please!
Missplay at 1:22 the answer is definetely buy the 1/4 and use your hp on it for value
Another jeef video another like by me
Thanks for video, i think i play better after watching these
Nice educational video and it's good to hear from pros. Also I wanna ask everyone here, do you guys go 4 on 4 for heistbaron togwaggle to use his hero power asap next turn? I tend to do this whenever I can but wanna know what you guys think? Is the risk worth it?
@voidgods
3 ай бұрын
Let me go on a bit of a tangent here, whenever I play these hero powers I try to actively remind myself to avoid being too greedy. Togwaggle, Galagrond, Eudora, powers that have a high potential to be good but forcing them into their "best" case scenario could put you in a bad spot. So for Togwaggle, 4on4 to hit power on turn 5, I think only makes sense if you can freeze the current shop because it has some self-scaling potential or good sinergies, because there is always the chance you will get trash on the next shop. If you are simply "hoping" the turn 5 power will save you only to be offered more trash, without even being able to fill your board, then you are likely dead on the spot. Alternatively, I find it way more consistent to get a strong midgame if you hit your hero power on turn 4 (by selling some of your board for 8 gold or setting up tokens beforehand), if the shop is good or if maybe you want to fill the board for a sanddrake or whatnot. That will put you in a position to level to 3 and 4 the next 2 turns without being too behind, or even, hero power again on turn 6 (it will cost 9 at this point, depending if there are economy minions or spells on the shop you can keep the upgrades, sell everything back and still level to 4 on turn 6, AFTER using the hero power. Togwaggle is really difficult to use for a good resson, it has so many decisions to make each turn, hero power is not always the best call as tempting as it can be sometimes
Do you think double leveling to 3 on turn 5 is still viable on Reno when there are economy units on 1?
@JeefHS

I don't think so because as I said in the video, 4 drops and 5 drops are not too gamewinning, so you lose too much tempo on average. I would only consistently do that curve with brann
Always amazing, always
Jeef is the best player!
Loved the video ❤ One note though, "gauge" is pronounced gayj (rhymes with page).
Thanks 🙏
I really enjoy your videos! I feel like I've learned a lot since I started watching. But often times I find myself having to rewatch sections to decipherer what you said. I'm a 7500ish player and I would say I only know 20% of card names, so when you list off three card names in quick succession without a graphic I have a hard time following . Some of the terms you use leave me wondering what you meant. As a pro I know card names and niche battleground terminology is your second language, but I bet a majority of your target audience would appreciate some clarification the first time you use a new term in the video or a clip of the cards your listing off. Keep up the good work

I can see your point but if all you need to buy next turn is Frontdrake and Coin then there is no point to doing that cuz most of the time you won't freeze the next board anyway

Bro literally is named after a curve what a legend.
this is the Video for me! xD hahahaha i think iam too old for this now.... BUT I KEEP TRYIN! ;)
(maybe someone else commented this as well) the 'correct' play here at 1:26 is : buy coin sell,buy 1/4 -> Hero power , freeze - so you get two fresh slots next round
