Games like Hearthstone?

Hey everyone,

I used to be really into Hearthstone in the EARLY days (2015 & 2016) but fell out of it during Gadgetzan— had too much going on with school. It feels like after a quick glance through this subreddit things have changed too much for me to come back and enjoy it.

Are there any other similar games to Hearthstone (deckbuilders, 1v1 online, arena-like mode) you guys would recommend?

If you think there’s still hope for an older re-entrant, what resources would you suggest to quickly get up to speed on all the crazy shit happening now? I used to exclusively play Paladin to save money (dust all other classes and didn’t buy any packs).
