I played through the first 6-7 tutorial levels. Fun game, nice twists on a magic type game. Although I'm not much of a fan of the wow graphics and after a bit the repeating sound clips gets a little annoying, just soooo busy visually & audibly. I pref the simplicity of the online magic visuals.. But will definitly keep at this an try out the pvp and arena once I get my stuff unlocked.
There are a bunch of hidden 1 time quests that you can do to earn a bunch of gold to use for Arena fees. They are all listed here: http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Quest
I would do most of those first before doing an Arena. Just be aware that Arena has all of the really good players in it that you will be matched up against, so at first it will be pretty difficult. There is actually a decent amount of skill to the game because the order that you play cards or how you attack almost always matters, and card selection in Arenas also matters a lot.
Started playing this on Sunday. I kinda like it. It will never be Magic but it's fun.
I have been playing the ranked matches and using a couple of decks. The basic Mage deck (red direct damage) i have been really successful with in the early matches. I think I went on a 6 game winning streak then I hit level 20 and the opponents have much better decks.... now I am horrible and losing.
I am not a huge fan of the game start - there is a coin flip and if you win you start with 4 cards. If you lose you start with an extra card plus a card that gives you 1 extra mana once. So effectively you have two mana in the first round.
Blizzard tracked the win rates for the play first players vs. play 2nd with coin, and they were fairly even with about a 2% advantage to the play first player. So, while it seems like getting an extra card plus the coin is a major advantage, you are still acting after your opponent on most turns. Playing first seems to be a larger advantage in this game since you can deal damage faster and have a better chance of controlling the board.
Yeah I can see where in turn 2+ going first is probably better. I just seem to never do anything in turn 1 when I go first. I am sure it's fair just doesn't seem that way.
Doing nothing on turn 1 when going first is very common, because most of the 1 cost cards really suck. The only ones worth using are worgen infiltrator and argent squire because they are the only ones that cant be killed by 1 mage ping.
I like Leper Gnome in a few of my rushier decks too. If they don't deal with him immediately, he's good for 5 dmg to the face for 1 mana.

It's out of Beta as of last night. Game is still free to play (with in game purchases). You can unlock a wow mount also by playing. The new beta blizzard launcher is really good IMO.
