There's "ranked", which I play most often (you go up and down in rank with wins and losses), or you can play another player in the same way, but it doesn't count for your rank (I play that to test new decks) or "Tavern Brawl" which is a constantly event where there's unique rules or card sets based on the week (or whatever term they choose to do them for).

Each expansion tends to have some single player adventures that can kill time for a little while.

I find it fun just playing and doing the daily challenges for gold (which you can use to buy card packs). I don't like to pay cash for card packs very often (I've probably spent $50 total over the span of a few years) but it's interesting trying to find new combinations of cards that work well together.
Cool, I was playing ranked for a bit early on, but it just seemed tough to follow the metas. I enjoy watching on twitch though.

It can be very tough playing against deck combinations that people find online ("net decks"), as those are just set up so well. If they get the right cards, you're toast. I specifically avoid doing that, as it seems more rewarding if I build a deck by my own logic and experiences. I figure I'm doing pretty well if I can keep my wins/losses at 50/50.

I second Hearthstone. It's perfect as long as you're looking to kill ~10 mins.

I would play ranked though, just more likely you'll end up around players at your level.

I need a new game to play when I'm too lazy to think but Desert Golf has served pretty well in that role.

Currently I play way too much PUBG Mobile. If you'd like to join my squad, look me up under username PUBGeezus77. Otherwise, my phone gaming is mostly Words With Friends.

I don't console game as much as I used to. Favorite console time killer game of all time for me is still Capcom vs SNK 2. That game is fighting perfection.
