With Hearthstone growing bigger and bigger by the day, inevitably there will be a large amount of streamers to choose from. This list helps separate the good from the not-so good and should give you an idea of the best streamers to watch if you are looking to improve at the game, play the game at a competitive level or just for entertainment.
Janne "Savjz" Mikkonen is a player who needs little introduction. The winner of the Hearth2P EU vs CN Qualifiers as well as a multiple time ESGN Fight Night contender, the Finn from team Curse is regarded as one of the best players in the world. He's often very interactive with chat, answering questions and reading through his thought processes and decision making aloud which made him one of the top streamers on Twitch for a reason. He now streams over on Azubu, but it's still worth watching him every time he's on if you're looking to learn a new deck or improve your gameplay on a whole.
You can find his stream over at: beta.azubu.tv/savjz (note, azubu is restricted in some countries currently)
Kripp, no matter what game he ends up playing, will end up as one of the best streamers for it. As well as being one of the best players in games like Diablo III and Path of Exile, he's pretty damn good at Hearthstone too. He's part of the "Kripptosis" ESGN Fight Night caster pairing, and also more recently casted and hosted Dreamhack Bucharest's Hearthstone tournament; Kripp generally explains his plays with detail and is a good intermediate level streamer for those not looking for the highest level of play, but want something above the level of new players. However, Kripp generally plays Arena; so if you're looking for a new deck to play or a guide on how to play a certain decklist you won't get it here, although you're almost certainly guaranteed entertainment.

Jeffrey "Trump" Shih is the closest thing you can get to the "Husky of Hearthstone". Known for his free to play runs to legend and his thoughtful and insightful analysis whilst playing, Trump is an excellent streamer to watch if you're learning the game due to the insight he gives into his plays and why he's doing them. He often runs subscriber arena runs and other cool, viewer based interactions and answers a lot of questions from chat. He plays a mix of Arena and constructed, and if you're looking to improve all-round at Hearthstone, Trump is an excellent streamer to do that with.
