Disenchanting a card is often referred to as dusting the card, since the card is effectively converted into Dust. There is no cap to the amount of Arcane Dust a player may accumulate. This is useful in preventing golden cards from being disenchanted automatically, since players may wish to preserve either golden or regular versions of cards, or both.

If a minion is killed by another without killing it in return, it has failed to trade with its killer. Most often, trading refers to minions dying in combat, but the term may be extended to refer to spells and weapons as well. Minion special abilities can be taken into account when identifying trades. For example, a Chillwind Yeti killing an Ogre Magi is left at 1 health, and may then trade with a Thrallmar Farseer.

Gnomish Inventor essentially drew a replacement for itself via its Battlecry. For a deeper discussion of strategies, see Card advantage and Tempo. Its several variations are used to identify the tactical advantage gained or lost in the exchanges. In the same vein, a series of interrelated combats may result in an approximately even trade even if each individual combat was lopsided in one direction or another. For example, a Fireball used to kill a Chillwind Yeti is an even trade, since two 4 mana cards eliminate each other from the game. Blood Knight and Silvermoon Guardian. Shieldmastas could attack each other in 2 separate combats and result in an even trade. Bloodfen Raptors would both die if one attacked another; neither player gains a clear advantage from such a combat. An Earth Shock used to kill a Twilight Drake is a significant trade up, since a 1 mana spell was used to kill a 4 mana minion.

As the latter scenario illustrates, player health is not a reliable direct indicator of tempo. However, it should be noted that expensive AoE spells often prevent the caster from playing minions on the same turn. However, when used thoughtfully it can enable advantageous trades which build up tempo, or prevent the opponent from making such trades. However, its imprecision can lead to misunderstandings and odd interpretations causing confusion in discussion. However, because the effect is not truly immediate, the opponent still has the opportunity to neutralize the minion with some other effect. The value of the effect on the board state divided by the mana used. The standard Hero Powers are the worst tempo abilities available, since their effects are far smaller than cards that cost the same amount.

Since the paladin enters each turn with living minions and plays even more minions during the turn, the pressure is on the opponent to respond to those minions with their own cards, without having the benefit of minions already in play. This can allow the opponent to take back the tempo by simply casting more minions on their own turn. The main upside of this definition is its being in the form of a mathematical formula, because in the future it could be applied to calculations. While tempo is often considered to be a common term and fairly simple to understand, it is also often considered to be among the more difficult things in Hearthstone to describe by definition rather than by examples or through a practice run. The limited supply of mana is the primary restriction on playing cards in the beginning of the game, so making good use of all of it is the primary factor in generating tempo early. Tempo is strongly associated with board control. However, these typically require that a player already have some minions in play, and may be difficult to use if significantly behind.

Mana acceleration can be a huge contributor to tempo by increasing the amount of mana available compared to the opponent. Backstab are clear increases in tempo: the caster may do everything else that was planned for the turn, plus a bonus effect for no cost at all. It is possible for a player with a significant tempo advantage in the early game to kill the opponent before any card disadvantage can be gained or put into full effect. Single target removal often only breaks even on momentum. Players must judge whether the increased power of these cards is worth the tempo drawback. What this definition has in its favor is its simplicity, but this very simplicity means that it does not cover all the uses of this term.

Battlecries, passive effects, or spells that help other minions trade efficiently can also be effective tempo boosters. Especially cheap removal may directly cause a tempo profit if the cost of the removal is far lower than the minion removed. Or, they may eventually lose the tempo, but not before dealing enough damage that the opponent can be killed with a sudden burst later on. On the other hand, if both players end up losing and replacing all their minions each turn, the tempo is close to even. The momentum of the match. Return effects such as Sap are a cheap alternative to removal. Spider Tank, while keeping at least one of their two minions alive. It could for example be defined as the change of board state in a given time.

Just as acceleration increases tempo, mana penalties can significantly hurt it. In addition to these immediate effects, both cards leave minions on the board which can be further used to profit control. Given enough time, card advantage naturally turns into tempo advantage, since maintaining momentum requires having cards that can respond to enemy obstacles. However, these cards usually have a fairly small effect and are therefore poor for card advantage. Of course, mana acceleration is only as valuable as the use that the mana is put to. If the resulting cards are used inefficiently or the mana is simply wasted, then it has not contributed to the tempo. It is one of the major types of advantage a player may have over the opponent.
