Once the meta is settled you could only see the same decks on the ladder. But if they keep releasing new cards (but not as a new expansion, maybe included in the last expansion or just give a free copy to everyone who logged in/won a few games) It could keep the game fresh and meta healthy once we found anything unbalanced and this could fill the gap quickly Also getting new cards by winning a few games (like 20 on the ladder) could give the players more purpose to play the game.
It does not really make sense, no. These "some new cards" need to be so strong that they change the whole meta to make it "fresh". And when should that be? After two months already?
Usually only the last month feels a bit stale and not even always because people still come around with new deck ideas.
So I disagree that this would be "healthy" it would just be a forced meta change with very strong cards or if the power level is not very strong it just doesn't do anything in that little time.
I know this is going to come out like it's a troll, but I'm dead serious.
I think Blizzard does a service to the community by providing the entertainment of people who have such short attention spans they spend the last half of a release period complaining on forums about games with functionally limitless iterations.
No, I'm not kidding. No, it's not snark. Half the fun of this game is those sorts of posts.

Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.
Here is the thing that people get wrong. Meta getting stale in mere weeks after the expansion is not a problem of quantity but a problem of quality. In each expansion, there are a handful of playable cards that once are found out, the meta settles and remains the same until next expansion.Then the proccess repeats again and so on.
The nail to the coffin in hs fun though, is that the tier 1 decks play the same in EVERY GAME. Every game is the same as the one you just played. Player 1 plays x, if player 2 doesnt answer with y loses, if he does wins. In every game you can guess what opponent plays or wants to play. This is what makes the meta super boring. You can have 6 full expansions in a year, the only thing you will achieve is having 15 days of fun in every 2 months instead of 4. The lack of complexity and interactivity is what makes the game super boring for a card game. However hs is NOT card game, is aamazing mobile game with cards. It's meant to be played casually for a couple of games daily. If you treat it as your main game, you are gonna get bored and feel the stale meta. Love it or hate it, except it for what it is.
If you watch the YotDragon video, the devs explain that they will be introducing "in-game events" this year in order to shake-up the meta-game between expansions - we have to "stay tuned" to see what those events will be.
I've always thought that they could use the TBs to give us some cards - each set could be 145 cards, rather than 135, and they could release the remaining 10 cards as weekly TB rewards beginning a couple months after launch. They could use those two months to tweak the remaining cards, in order to support decks that didn't quite work out (like Silence Priest, or Secret Paladin from the current expansion) or help us against some of the decks that might be over-performing (for example - the new set didn't provide any board clears to deal with cheap, low-health minions, and predictably, flooding the board with cheap, low-health minions is a pretty strong strategy right now.)
