i think the reason mtg doesn't suffer from this problem (granted i haven't play mtg arena so this isn't a fully informed opinion), i think the creativity in card games comes from playing with local people. when i play with my friends, we switch up our decks and even if a deck is stupidly good, it doesn't bother us since no one has meta decks that cost hundreds upon hundreds on dollars.
throw on the fact that real cards can't be crafted with dust. you buy packs or singles and use what you can. that aspect forces you to think outside the box. i find hearthstone funny but just never fun enough to keep my attention for more than a few weeks. i DID get that feeling when playing local tournament mtg but thats because most people (and those who consistently won) were bringing decks that could kill you on turn 2 with an infinite combo.

So many people copy each others decks, I only see original decks at the beginning few days of an expansion release.
It's really sad to my eyes.
What do you guys think?
I think it's one of the main reasons why HS becomes boring (couldn't find a better word) very quickly, and it's more of a grinding procedure playing the most flawless/high-performing decks.

Isn't this like the first decent draw card hunter has ever had? It can potentially draw 3 cards for 3 mana, which doesn't have a draw-back other than thinning your deck. Awesome.

Not to mention how fast these expansions die out.
If it was deep enough like magic, we'd play for months for new strategy.
In hearthstone, people find the best decks in 2-weeks. :/
