I have recently started playing and I am enjoying the game immensely. Having said that, I find the learning curve to be quite cryptic.

I would like to buy individual runes in order to boost my public decks but I cannot find a way to buy runes individually. Any help would be much appreciated.]]></content:encoded>

While I found it much improve compared to when I played last, I noticed I was trying to complete a lot of Daily and Heroic Achievements using the sample BGs. This thread will be a list of all of the Achievements and which of the free BGs can fulfill their requirements. Hopefully this will help players more efficiently get gold so they can get their own runes a little bit faster.<br />
