My experience, paired with documentation gives this simple explanation.
- Growth: Cheap(ish) units that have a lot of effects or have spells that help them grow or summon other units.
- Energy: These scrolls hit hard and are intended to do a lot of damage, quickly.
- Order: Order scrolls tend to be rather weak as single-units but can gain strength when other order units are played in close proximity to them. Many of these units give a lot of bonuses to their fellow units when they are near by.
In my opinion, the Order type requires the most game-play strategy while the other two types can do well from a basic deck-level strategy and a bit of luck. It's been argued that this makes the game rather unbalanced, against Order.
I'm no expert at Scrolls, but I also started with the Order deck and here are some of my strategies. I've mostly focused on Growth decks, but they a lot of them are applicable against other deck types.
To counter growth decks, I've found the best strategy is to try to focus on buffing your relentless soldiers (Ducal Skirmisher and Royal Skirmisher) with enchantments. This will allow you to cut through multiple weak monsters off of one cool down, helping to avoid the swarm of weak monsters.
Try to block low HP monsters with Spikey creatures (Ducal Spearmen and Royal Spearmen). The spearmen are excellent at blocking the wolves growth decks love to throw out. If the wolf attacks a spikey 2 spearmen, then it dies from the two damage.
Don't be afraid to let your idols get hit early on and focus on building up your front line. You want to try to keep the relentless soldiers alive while you get the correct enchantments. Use a combination of structures and spearmen to protect them and your idols.
Don't forget you can sidestep attacks or move your creatures to get an attack off. I'm really bad about letting a creature get a free attack on one of my weaker creatures like the Crossbowmen. On that same note, feel free to shift over a creature to take out the weaker creatures before they start overwhelming the field.
I usually attempt to put spearmen in front of the Royal Vanguard or Honorable General. Then I will place the skirmishers on either side. In the back line I try to place crossbowmen or infantrymen.
Try to Powerbound your front line that are prone to die. Another great combo with Powerbound is to attach it to a Zealot before sacrificing him for an easy +1 Order.
Don't be afraid to stack Plate Armor on one creature that can completely ignore the weaker Growth creatures. Plate Armor also works with Vengeance Veil even if the damage is reduced to 0 (I think, I believe I was successfully using this combo last night)
Try to use your Crossbowmen to snipe stronger creatures. I hate to waste their high attack damage on the smaller creatures Growth likes to summon.
Try to use Blessing of Haste on the Honorable General or Royal Vanguard. This combos with their special abilities to give massive buffs quickly. The Vengeance Veil + Plate Armor can also work on these creatures.
I usually try to Kabonk the bunnies before they spread, but don't be afraid to Kabonk purely for the draw power. Also, try to use Summons as soon as possible. This will help thin out your deck so you get to your better cards sooner. Plus the structure is helpful versus the Growth zerg rush.
Problem Growth Cards:
I generally make a point to remove these from the field as soon as possible.
Most of these cards have strong global buffs or help Growth swarm the field overwhelming the slower build up of Order cards.

I'll update my response when we get additional information that's a bit more official.
In the mean time, according to the Scrolls Guide pseudo-official Scrolls Blog there is a mod update in the works for "a few weeks from now", which will hopefully translate into mid-July update.
From the very coy blog post, it looks like there will be a deck importation feature, as well as a previous match summary report. Hopefully if there is a deck importer, there is a deck exporter.
Knowing Mojang's track record and general friendliness to the external dev community, I'd reasonably speculate that if an export function exists, it will be in a text-readable format and will most likely be XML.
UPDATE
Summoner, the unofficial mod-loader from Scrolls Guide is out. (Get it here.) This mod allows for the import and export of deck information and is available for Windows and OS X.
