Basic Curve

The most basic way to play the game. Basic curve is easy to learn, straightforward to play. Compared to other curves it doesn't really have any redeeming qualities; it's relatively unlikely to present the player with significant immediate strength or triple potential. A succesful basic curve is generally reliant on finding a Token Minion on turn 1.

No hero wants to play Basic Curve; it mostly serves as a backup option. When aiming for a 3 on 3 curve, if the tier 2 minions offered on turn 3 (5 gold) are too good to skip, any hero can choose to play Basic Curve instead.

Tribes
Beasts, Demons, and Quilboars provide the best chance for basic curve, since they have some of the only worthwhile tier 2 minions (at least in terms of strength, not necessarily direction or ease of tripling), in Rabid Saurolisk, Sewer Rat, Imprisoner, Nathrezim Overseer, Prophet of the Boar, and Road Boar. Note that these minions are often only worthwhile when presented in pairs or with correct synergy between them.
